★ In the chaos of Limbo, even the most base creature can manifest thought into form...such as a surface to walk on. The Githzerai stabilize larger pockets of relative permanence, allowing structures and civilization (small villages) by more focused concentration and experts of practiced meditation dedicated to the task. Ziyad was one of these such gi'korath, or students of manifestation.

★ These curious hidden zones of order in the plane of chaos were theorized 1000s of years ago by the elves of Toril...whispered in the rumors of demons, mind flayers, and spelljammers. More recently, efforts were made by a small but persistent cabal of arcane elite, planar researchers wanting to make contact. For months, their work from across the Multiverse caused Ziyad to experience dreams of this alien race (elves) reaching out to him with direct questions and implanting more subtle manipulative thoughts in waking visions to extract information.

★ This elven incursion into the Githzerai's realm bore great fruit for the magi, and ultimately culminated in Ziyad being forcefully pulled by newly created summoning magics through to Faerun. His people would later call his disappearance the curse of jez'rathki (or 'slipping through the cracks').

★ By some final twist of fate or choas, before the summoning could formally complete the elven wizards were attacked and slain by a drow hunting party. And so one captor was replaced with another...one who had no desire, let alone knowledge, to send him back. Curiously, the dreams and visions sent by the slain elves did not cease...
