	The name Votann is pretty obviously derived from Wotan, the German name for the god most famously known as [[Odin]] (remember that Germans pronounce W's as V's). Presumably this is a reference to his role as a god of runes and wisdom.

	The Votann are also central in the recycling of deceased Kin. Both iron and clone have their minds uploaded, and their bodies recycled for new kin. With the Votann slowly breaking down, you can guess that this does not bode well for the Kin (not that the Kin can't make more of their own kind without the Votanns' help but again, inferior quality). Additionally, the categorization, archiving, and duplication of every dead Kin’s brain scans, schematics, and genome means that the longer the Ancestor Cores take in their children’s digital signatures, over millennia, the less bandwidth and processing capacity is left, exacerbated by the aforementioned decay. The Votann of the Emberg Agnir Bloc even went mad after absorbing all their dead kin's biomass following their destruction by the Tyranids, becoming the aptly-named Mad Core.

	The grimnyr interface in Arcane technological structures called Fanes. A space of timeless devices and quiet contemplation, at the heart of which lies a complex tangle of machinery that is part altar, part interface. It is said that these machines were simply nodes through which the wisdom of the Votann flashes with the speed of thought from one voidcraft to another. They still fulfill this practical purpose. Culturally though, Fanes have taken on a greater spiritual significance to the Kin, so that now they are viewed as places where one stands in full regard of the Ancestors, and where the presence of the Votann lies heavy and Sombre. Indeed, through ~~aceane~~ technological processes that even the Kin do not understand, there have been instances recorded of Fanes miraculously developing artificial intellect in their own right, and joining the ranks of the Votann themselves. These occurrences of miraculous self awareness are cause for great honour and celebration amongst the Kin in whose Hold they occur. By comparison though, more than one Votann has degenerated in recent centuries until they have become little more than Fanes themselves. To witness such a decline is a terrible tragedy for the Kin.

	Each Votann is a massive repository of knowledge. This knowledge concerns topics all the way from [[Necrons\|Science and Engineering]], to [[Just as planned\|Military theory]] and [[Creed\|Strategy]], and even [[Orks\|Philosophy]] and [[Hobbits\|Genealogy]]. They're even some [[Standard Template Construct\|STC]] fragments in there, big 'uns too, from the sound of it. Basically, if you have a question, then these things can probably answer it. All these constructs are absolutely priceless relics, essential to their League, and the members of each League are more than willing to lay down their lives to protect their League's Votann, and probably another League's too, if push comes to shove.
