    Synopsis:

    The Emperor tries to get you to help it destroy Orpheus' royal guard so that it can subdue Orpheus again. If you side with the Emperor, you fight against the githyanki with the help of the Emperor and the intellect devourers. If you side with the githyanki, the Emperor feels betrayed and will teleport you back to the material plane where you have a few turns to get back inside the portal and some githyanki to kill on your way.

    How to trigger:

    Go near the Emperor in the Astral Plane during Intermezzo
