===Speculation/Theories=== The LoV being as new as they are, there's a lot going on about them that we don't know about. Particularly, how can certain aspects of the setting be connected to them to better help them conform to the whacky-tobaccy universe that is 40k. Until we get lore confirmations, various speculations and conspiracies will be listed here. *'''Votann out in the Wild:''' As the biggest part of the Leagues and their lore, the Votann naturally draw a lot of attention to themselves, especially since some parts of the lore can now be comfortably assumed to be a Votann. **'''The Van Saar STC:''' A bit of speculation around the Votann is if anything else in the setting will be retconned into/explained as being one. The most obvious candidate is the [[House Van Saar]] STC, described as being "large building" sized and "damaged" in that it's spewing out radiation, similar to the disrepair some Votann are said to be in albeit more extreme, and if it was a Votann it would explain why Squats are on Necromunda. **'''The Votann are fueled by alcohol:''' Naturally, being dorfs, the dorfs need to fill the dorf computers with dorf juice in order for them to give dorf advice. How else are they supposed to run? Fission batteries and solar energy? That's [[elf|leaf-lover]] hippy dippy shit. **'''Basis of the Cult Mechanicus:''' Considering how old the religion of the Adeptus Mechanicus is, as well as the age of the Votann themselves, its not too far of a stretch to assume that the concept of the Machine God could have sprouted from a Votann built and buried on Mars. **'''Volkanite weapons are reverse engineered:''' Volkite weapons were created in the age of strife presumably to fight the Men of Iron during the Iron War and were basically that age’s analogue of an AK-47. The Kin’s lore says their original human ancestors set out to the core on sub-light generation ships, which implies they come from the Age of Terra. Which means it should be impossible for them to have volkite weapons. Perhaps they traded with their primitive human kin for them as many [[Feral_World|civilizations post age of strife wouldn't know the value of said weapons]] or maybe their [[Friends|relationship with the Imperium]] became positive enough for them to be granted manufacturing rights for this advanced machinery to churn them out faster than the snails pace of the [[Mechanicus|cogboys]]. All we know is that they have volkite and those guns are [[awesome]]. ***It could just simply be that they had Volkanite Stc's from the dark age. Sure some (not all) would consider this a [[Skub|boring explanation for most human tech in 40k]] but it is the most common. And we don't see much info on Volkite weapons only being made to combat the men iron. Plus, considering they're supposed to be space dwarfs, many would agree that gw probably wouldn't want to undermine them in their dwarfy technological edge, ancient heritage, and highly skilled craftmenship just so they're stated to be copying from the more backwards and less advanced technobarbarians or the Imperium of Umgi.
