An Elder Brain is the heart of the mind flayer community. The rule of an elder brain varies by locale, some despotic and ruling the affairs of the illithids like a tyrant, while most simply act as consultants, advisors, and, most importantly, the living repository of the community's technology, history, and psionic experience. By imprisoning the elder brains of other illithid communities, the Suellk were in effect committing genocide on them.
- Ushiruk, of the Deep Six, excerpt from his book - "Elder Brains In Chains"
