Leagues of Votann

The Leagues of Votann are the collective confederations of the species of squat but powerfully-built Abhuman clones who refer to themselves as the “Kin.” They are sometimes pejoratively called “Squats” by the Humans of the Imperium. The Kin are an advanced, starfaring species who possess highly advanced technology and live amid the extreme environments that mark the resource-rich worlds of the galactic core. The Kin share their lives with self-aware, robotic constructs called Ironkin, which they treat as full societal equals in every way. The Kin have sometimes been misidentified by Humans and xenos species alike as different Abhuman or alien species than their true identity. For instance, the Kin have been mistakenly known to both the T’au and Humans as the “Demiurg,” to the Aeldari as the “Heliosi Ancients,” and to various other peoples as the “Gnostari,” the “Grome” or the “Kreg,” among others.
