Kin
,no edit summary
For millennia, Kin lifespans were generally consistent. However, they have become subject to extremes over the last millennium. Some Kin are now living natural lives many times the former lifespan. Amongst those most afflicted by this longevity are the [[Grimnyr]]. Conversely, there are those whose lives are ending naturally far shorter than previous generations. There seems no way to predict this pattern, with lifespans even within the same generation of Crucible spawnings differing wildly. The Kin themselves are solemnly accepted such fates, chalking it up to the will of the Votann. If there are dissatisfactions, they only share it privately. For to express any disagreements with the will of the Ancestors is considered grossly taboo.{{Fn|11c}}
When a Kin does die, their physical remains usually are sent to rejoin their [[Ancestor Core]], which absorbs their accumulated neural information gathered over their lifetime. These are viewed as highly sacred offerings, and all Kin hope to one day have their absorbed knowledge prove useful to their Votann. This is a major motivation for Kin to journey out beyond the Core, in order to discover new things that one day can be assimilated by their Ancestor Core.{{Fn|1c}} After the Kin's mind is absorbed into the Ancestor Core, their body is broken down for nutrients and raw materials.{{Fn|11c}}
