I became interested in Zerth material from PST. How much of the teaching of zertimon text was made up for the game and how much had been previously created? Which planescape modules had Zerth material in them?
Thanks if you could help.

Thanks for replying, that is what I wanted to know.
The second thing I would like to know if you can spare the time is about the Rrakkma section as a whole...
Is all the Rrakkma content on this site mostly created by site members and then critiqued by the rest of the community? Do people read the site material and then elaborate/contribute based on that or is it based on old 2nd ed modules?

The new "Complete Psionic" contains a prestige class called Zerth Cenobite. Its also got a new writeup for githyanki and githzerai characters, but I know very little more about it.

Thanks, £17 seems a bit expensive for such a small amount of Gith info but perhaps I can temporarily appropriate it from the one person I know who actually plays d&d. Interesting site btw.

Zerth cenobites are monks with powers over time. They aren't necessarily the same thing as zerths, who were generally fighter/mages. A zerth could be a zerth cenobite, but a zerth cenobite doesn't have to be a zerth.

Some of it's critiqued, some of it isn't. People post whatever they want. Some of it's inspired by 2e stuff, but it's mostly new.

Anyone here at Planewalker (including me or you) can submit an article to any of the site sections. Rrakkma just happens to be a very focused one, taking in all the submissions for githzerai, githyanki, illithids, and related topics. Thanks to Dak'kon, the Illithiad, and a general fascination with creepiness, there's a disproportionately high interest in this aspect of the planes.
The zerths were mentioned in the githzerai monster description as followers of Zerthimon who their Wizard-King was forced to tolerate. That's it.
Nearly all of it was created for the computer game.
