Kroetar do not vary in physical design or construction. Only the coordinate symbols differ. There are no known "heretical" copies, though the [[Malisik]] have attempted to mimic them in the form of [[Malisik Circles]] for communion with [[Malis]], but these are crude, impermanent mockeries. | Kroetar do not vary in physical design or construction.

== Interference, Alternatives, and Voyd Phenomena == | |||
The ancient Kroetar work by connecting to hidden [[Voyd Conduits]] that flow beneath the fabric of [[Yedistren]]. These conduits allow physical matter to be transported across vast distances to other Kroetar or to the highly unstable [[Voyd Nexus|Voyd Nexi]]. | |||
=== Malisik Interference === | |||
While the [[Malisik]] cannot use Kroetar, they have developed [[Voyd Jammer|Voyd Jammers]]—terrible constructs designed to disrupt the [[Voyd Conduits]] and prevent [[Free Species]] armies from marching through active Kroetar networks during times of war. These devices temporarily sever the spatial link, forcing armies to travel through more dangerous or time-consuming routes. | |||
=== Rift Gate Technology === | |||
Civilizations that rely heavily on synthetic and technological infrastructure, such as the [[Tèran]] and [[Tekarin]], have created their own crude approximation of Kroetar: the [[Rift Gate]]. Rift Gates do not require spiritual attunement to operate but are vastly inferior in reliability and safety. They function by forcibly tearing open localized connections to the [[Voyd Conduits]], enabling transit between worlds. | |||
=== Voyd Storms === | |||
Kroetar can also be rendered dormant for weeks during rare cosmic events known as [[Voyd Storm|Voyd Storms]]. These storms destabilize the [[Voyd Conduits]] network across entire sectors of Yedistren, creating pockets of inaccessibility. Only when the [[Voyd Storm|Voyd Storms]] dissipate can normal Kroetar functionality resume. | |||
