A vorpal weapon is amonst the most feared items of D&D. On an attack roll of 17+ (on a D20)the target is dead, that's it dead. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 gold. Or something like that. Technaly is the sharpest object in the known world (kinda like a Lightsaber only matallic). Adaminatiam is said to be able to parry it, thought DM's may vary. In BGII I think it has a percentage chance of killing whatever hit hits and it's also a +5 weapon. Less I miss my guess right it's the Silver Sword the Githyanki are looking for. My advice give it to them, you can always get a new sword.
Githyanki and Githzerai don't get along becuse they were once the same race, and slaves to the Mind Flayers. The Gith broke a few free and they were sent to differant planes and slowely have changed over the years with the influence of the planes they now reside in. Now they are Poler Halves of each other hateing what the other one is because they can still see the other in themselves.
Or if you prefer, Everyone has to have a hobbie, so killing eachother is just a fun thing to do on a Saturday night.
