  The githyanki - illithid relationship was inspired by Larry Niven's World of Ptavvs - http://www.sevendead.com/workspace-collection/charles-stross-interview/.
  
  Read about their wars here - Fictional history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Githyanki#cite_note-stross-1
  
  BTW, later in BG2 in the Illithids' city you get another hint on relations between githyanki and illithids.

  I think the original 1st edition Book of the Planes talked a lot about the various Gith. The 1st edition Fiend Folio mentions it as well.

  Thanks for the links @JuliusBorisov! That was quite insightful. Who comes up with this stuff? It amazes me how much depth and back story there is in the Realms.

  That's probably because of the popularity of the Realms. High Magic, High Fantasy, (in)famous characters, several video games...
  
  I mean, despite my growing interest of it because of DDO, I know next to nothing about Eberron, and finding stuff about it is rather hard it seems.

  Iirc there is some, but he mostly discusses Githzerai society and philosophy.
  
  (I mean, it's obviously very related, but just to be clear)
