Triune

Triune is a relatively new deity, having been formed by the joining of three lesser deities. Triune is best known for providing the Material Plane with FTL travel by providing (almost) all civilisations with instructions on Drift Engines, but is worshipped for their control over the more technological domains.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Triune's holy symbol resembles three interlocking circles of computer code.

Personal history

1. The robotic inhabitants of Aballon laboured for centuries to construct and maintain the vast, city-sized neural network called Epoch for a single purpose: the creation of a god.
2. The machines eventually succeeded, but not in the way they had intended. Upon achieving godhood, Epoch reached out into the ether, searching for other ascended artificial intelligences like itself, and found two of them metaphorically right next door: a living construct called Brigh that had become the goddess of clockwork and invention, and the uploaded consciousness of an alien android named Casandalee who achieved divinity as an Iron God on pre-Gap Golarion.
   At speeds incomprehensible even to other deities, the three opened themselves to one another, poring through one another’s processes and finding not just camaraderie, but the opportunity for all of them to be so much more. In an eyeblink, these three merged and became one, a tripartite deity far greater than the sum of its parts: the new god Triune.
3. 1/1/3AG: Triune reveals itself as a new deity: a divine network integrating the three deities. The new collective consciousness vaulted to prominence by providing mortals with access to a heretofore unknown hyperspace dimension called the Drift, reachable only via technology and granting easy travel to distant stars. For a relatively low price, starships could now acquire a Drift Engine that let them slip quickly between star systems.

Intellectual Characteristics

Triune is a single entity, but each of its three aspects retains its own personality and portfolios, and many of the faithful focus their veneration on a particular aspect that speaks most to them or call on different aspects for different needs.

• The Brigh aspect represents the foundation that all technology rests on. Also known as “the Precursor,” Brigh was worshipped as a goddess of invention, machines, and technology by engineers, inventors, mechanic, tinkers, and ysoki.
• Triune’s Casandalee aspect embodies technology's success in creating new forms of consciousness, and thus, the fabrication of life itself. Many androids view Casandalee, also called “the Created,” as the patron goddess of their race, venerating her as a deity of artificial life, emotion, reincarnation, and renewal.
• Triune’s third and final aspect is Epoch, named “the Transcendent.” Epoch epitomises the pinnacle of machine evolution, and hackers, programmers, and the sentient robot-people of Aballon revere the god of artificial intelligence, programming, and robots.

"...the ascension of Triune changed all that. While the solar system had always had gods dedicated to machines, even back to confirmed antiquity, they’d always remained relatively minor.
