The elder brain serves as the pivotal center of the mind flayer community. The authority of an elder brain varies by region, with some wielding despotic power over the affairs of the illithids like a tyrannical ruler, while most function primarily as consultants, advisors, and the indispensable repository of the community's technology, history, and psionic knowledge. By imprisoning the elder brains of rival illithid settlements, the Suellk were effectively perpetrating genocide upon them.
