It is unknown how many are out there, but some have made contact with the Fringe.. Each is different in their personalities and methods, but all share the same origins. Abilities: Foundries based on their home planet allows for the production of various robot types. Have access to various technology blueprints and schematics. Conditional Abilities: They can speak to synthetics through "shrines", telecommunication structures that allow them to broadcast their voices into the synthetics' heads, and lets them read the synthetics' "thoughts". The bigger the shrine, the larger the radius. Without a shrine, this is not possible. Limitations: Their planets are at an unknown location, and cannot be reached. They are immobile, and can only interact with other species through shrines or portals. Conditional Limitations: Some of their planets are terraformed to be extremely hostile to life, so venturing onto their planet would likely kill you. How does it work: The Glitch Pantheons are shrouded in mystery to experts, but most agree that they were likely an experiment by the Glitch progenitors. They speculate that the pantheons were created to observe what having an actual god-like figure in a civilization would do to their society. With the disappearance of these creators, the deities eventually developed synthetic intelligence, garnering personalities and desires of their own. Research on these beings is sparse, and ways to contact them are held in secret. Flavor text: Explorers of the cosmos may encounter a few planets occupied by mecha demons, a cult of Glitch praising an unseen force, or hear the whispers of an ancient being. These may be the works of the Pantheon of Chaos, a religious devotion shared by few, unknown to most, but feared by all who witness their true power. The fires and war of Kharnarath, the cold and calculating plans of Tchar, the pestilence and death of Vistaus, or the beauty and sensations of Oaneria can be blessings or curses to whoever encounters them. There are other Glitch deities out there who have garnered other factions, but none have shown the power that the Pantheon of Chaos shows. Referenced Technologies: Kharnarath Daemons, Kharnarath Imps Attainability: [Semi-Closed] (Not entirely sure how you'd "attain" them, but some factions have the technology to contact them and use their constructs.)
