Githyanki knights are warriors, spellcasters, and scouts of exceptional ability devoted to the unflagging service of Vlaakith. Knights report directly to the queen and aren't part of the military hierarchy. The personnel for any important mission includes at least one knight, and every githyanki fortress or outpost across the multiverse is administered by at least one knight in residence. Knights are selected for their roles based on their martial and psionic potential, and young githyanki who pass muster are inducted into service soon after they enter Tu'narath for the first time. Knights are always involved in important decisions, and it is forbidden to keep secrets from them. They act as commissars and enforcers ofVlaakith's will. They are the rough equivalent of religious figures in githyanki culture, although the githyanki have no priests or clerics of normal sort.

Two aspects of their nature set knights apart from other githyanki. Each knight wields a cherished silver greatsword that imparts special powers to its owner, and the knights are among the few githyanki who can not only travel psionically between planes, but can also take allies along with them. Knights often emerge from planar travel astride the backs of red dragons, which have been serving the githyanki as allies ever since their time of enslavement under the mind flayers.

吉斯洋基騎士是愿意赴死為女王 Vlaakith效忠的戰(zhàn)士、施法者以及杰出的斥候。騎士不屬于任何一個(gè)軍事編制，直接向女王負(fù)責(zé)。所有重要任務(wù)的參與者員中都必須包含一名騎士，且多元宇宙中每一處吉斯樣基人的要塞或前哨戰(zhàn)都至少應(yīng)該有一名騎士鎮(zhèn)守。優(yōu)秀的年輕吉斯洋基人會(huì)在進(jìn)入圖納拉斯不久開始服役，而騎士們會(huì)根據(jù)他們的軍事和靈能上的才能分配職務(wù)。

重要的會(huì)議所有騎士都可以參加，任何決議的內(nèi)容也要向全體騎士公開。他們充當(dāng)議員以及女王意志的執(zhí)行者。他們等同于吉斯洋基人文化中的牧師，雖然吉斯洋基人中并沒有通常意義上的祭司或牧師之類的角色。有兩個(gè)特征可以將吉斯洋基騎士與其他吉斯洋基人區(qū)分開來。每一位騎士都持有一柄擁有特殊力量的銀制巨劍，且他們是極少數(shù)能夠與盟友一同位面旅行的吉斯洋基人。騎士們常常騎乘在紅龍的背上進(jìn)行位面移動(dòng)，后者在吉斯洋基人仍然在被奪心魔奴役的時(shí)候便已開始為其服務(wù)。
