The githyanki are known to be very militaristic and aggresive. They are constantly working to expand their influence & control over others (who become slaves on some level). Regardless of their current focus, the ability to rapidly move troops around the world & between planes is a huge military advantage.
Elsir Vale has an abundance of portals, natural and man-made, to this world & other planes. The entire vale is abnormally conducive to portals. You've encountered at least 4 natural crossover points. Any other region of the world might have 1. Additionally, man-made portals are faster, easier & cheaper to create here. This is the resource the Githyanki have been after.
Zithiruun has been the puppetmaster behind many of the troubles in Elsir Vale lately; many of the issues the party has come across. Amyria shares the following info...
General Zithiruun was a great hero — one of the most respected military leaders of a militant race. From the great city of Tu’narath, he led armies of the githyanki on raids across the Astral Sea, and into a dozen different regions and kingdoms of the mortal realm. From the deck of the astral galleon Siun’kara or the back of Rathoraiax, his great red dragon steed, Zithiruun proved an unstoppable force — a champion among a race of champions. Even Vlaakith, the fearsome githyanki lich queen, acknowledged his greatness, heaped great praise upon him.
It’s said that he was crippled and his mount slain in a battle against a mighty dragon or fiend. Rumors disagree on whether he still lives and what position he might hold (if any) among the weakness-intolerant githyanki.
