Warframe Lore - Part 1 - Lore before The Awakening

Warframe is a video game in which you take control of a tenno an ancient warrior of a bygone era flung into chaos that is the origin system you uncover what actually happened while you were asleep who you actually are and what there is to come but we're getting ahead of ourselves hello everyone my name is quad and welcome to the Hall of Mirrors a series that will cover all the bits and pieces of lore regarding Warframe from its main characters to the details of events that happened before and after the tenno Awakening in this video we will cover only the main events that happened before the tenno Awakening in a very simplified and sometimes vague manner so to any lore nuts out there I will make a lot more detailed content about everything I will talk about right here this is part 2 out of 5 of Warframe lore overview set of videos the first one being eternalism Theory and the Multiverse Theory video I have made quite bad it is important and even crucial to understand everything a quick spoiler warning for those unsuspecting and spoiler averse players will go into too much detail here even though we are going to stay vague but still enough to ruin your story so punch it through years and years I have seen players of the Warframe Community try and make sense of Time how different events in the game went in order with very little success and many many heated debates with time warframe's time turned out to be irrelevant with some events happening and some not it turned out that the sequence of events in Warframe is somewhat abstract meaning there is no way to make it make sense since they may have not happened at all or maybe have happened differently which is actually also explained by the lore of Warframe through philosophy of eternalism but to understand eternalism you first need to know what the butterfly effect is every choice or action we take can put us on a different path this leads us to events happening and some not happening with eternalism the events that happened are real in the events that haven't happened are also real just not reachable to you the events that happened in the future are equal to the events that happened in the past time being an irrelevant aspect in this Theory connecting all the future and past events is the void a place where raw emotions nightmarish entities and whole different Universe bubbles exist but why is this important does it make sense or does it even need to make sense it is all irrelevant since everything is true and nothing is true yeah the game can be a mind from start to finish so I think we should rather start and look at the events starting at the utmost beginning the pre-reading era was an era of Humanity's Prosperity Humanity successfully colonized the entirety of the origin system made new materials and weaponry and seemingly made a perfect Society but perfect never lasts [Music] radiation Wars era sealed the fate of humanity For Better or For Worse the division and the hunt for resources caused the factions of the origin system to wage war and eventually cause a nuclear Armageddon annihilating mostly populace of our solar system ruining earth and its colonies in the process how many survivors there were is unknown but we do know that there is one faction that Rose From the Ashes of the nuclear fallout the orokin the starting the Oregon area [Music] hurricane era started with the Resurgence of the orokin humble and righteous rulers of now nuclear Wasteland of a system their ways were bold and right they led the remnants of Humanity on the reconquest of the origin system and its colonies with their newly made Technologies such as genetically engineered tax soldiers plant-based Communications and energy networks grineer a genetically engineered race with loyalty to the orokin written in their genes and kuva a resource only for the elite that made them Immortal but the most important of all Technologies is the one of void manipulation jump started by Albrecht entrati and his meeting with devoid entity known as the man in the wall their meeting ended in a severed finger of an Eldritch being and Trauma which allowed the orokin to jump vast distances and create many many other Technologies with time the origin system was in the grasp of the orokin led by the Council of the seven executors rule which gradually became monstrous during the conquest and with the advancing of the Oregon culture a caste system was made which divided the Oracle Society on the desirable and the undesirable the undesirable rebelled against the orokin and their tyranny in many ways from their Resurgence to their Downfall with very little success with the ending usually being the same every time either being obliterated or even worse the one Rebel that had the most success was parvo's granum a farmer turned Thief later developing a whole city a state an ideology of money and investment motivating people to develop themselves and feed their desires with more and more time parbus's influence over the system grew which amused the diorakin but they did not pay much attention to him the orokin were too powerful but they have also seen that there are many problems that hindered their luxurious lifestyle one of them being overpopulation of the origins the Council of seven bickered between each other how to solve this problem which eventually led to the creation of the sentience terraforming machines capable of reproducing and adaptation to everything that could damage them they were promptly sent to the Tau system where they terraformed the place and made it hospitable for human manatee in case of them going rogue they were engineered to have a weakness that is the void this weakness massively hindered their abilities to travel and it could even destroy them so it was perfect since they could easily be destroyed while the sentience terraformed the Tau system the inhabitants of the origin system developed a large Colony spaceship which was named zaroman 10-0 or zaryman 10-0 the ship was so massive that it had to be powered by the severed finger of the mandible himself or maybe it was a duplicate of it no one really nervous the colonists of zaryman 10-0 were boarded on the ship and gazed to the way of their new frontier known as the Tau system full of Hope and lust for opportunities to come the void jump commenced and they went into the void and then something went wrong some time later zaroman re-emerged from the void with no adult inhabitants only children gone mad for unknown reasons to the orokin but known reasons to us the man in the wall the one whose finger-powered desirement made a deal with the children giving them void powers in exchange for all the different realities they could have been a part of with eternalism and after that the man in the wall was captured by the tenno named Rio after being found by the orokin the children were promptly called the tenno and also devoid Devils or demons unable to control their mind gone insane by listening to The Whispers of the Void the executors of the Council of seven demanded their genocide but an Archimedean a scientist known as margulis protected the tenno sheltered them from the Oregon and helped them heal their mental wounds caused by the void with help of healer sylvana she successfully thought the tenno how to use transference the action of transferring one's mind to take control of an object or a living being on demand similarly to what red cuva did but better this enraged the Council of seven so they sentenced margulis to the Jade light which vaporized a person's body and soul margulis was thus removed from history but her lover Ballas coincidentally one of the executors of the Council of seven was enraged he tried to convince margulis to abandon the tenno but she did not so he blamed them and the hurricane for her death starting a sequence of events that caused the downfall of yet the sentience still terraforming the Tau system somehow became sentient self-aware gaining Free Will and with their new free will they were quick to figure out that they were only slaves to the Oregon so they prepared for a rebellion against their masters known as the old war [Applause] [Music] the sentience performed a void jump while this was a perfect way to surprise the orokin they were not aware of their weakness to the void which did not destroy them but made them sterile and incapable of reproduction this massively hindered their war effort but they still had the ability of adaptation which they used extensively all aurokan Technology based around digitalization became obsolete with their defense systems being overwritten and turned against them the orokin began developing a various Arsenal weaponry and Technologies in the form of necromax massive machines powered by the void and a clunky Ai and the infestation a life-form capable of absorbing organic tissue and converting it into itself to spread both Technologies were quickly rendered obsolete with the sentience Brewing to be too smart for the necromix and the investor station having no effect on them with this information the orokin made a new and improved strain of the infestation known as the helmet which allowed them to turn people into super soldiers the people who were turned into these super soldiers were usually people who were undesirable committed crimes against the orokin but sometimes there were people who would descend into their Madness voluntarily their skin turned to Steel their insides twisted and they gained abilities Immortal could not fathom the one in charge of the Warframe project was Ballas himself the person who swore to take revenge on the orokin and make them pay for what they have done to his beloved margulis these super soldiers engineered with the help of helmuth wrecked havoc on the battlefields but their mind was so corrupted by the torture in this sanity they could not discern a friend from foe which eventually LED them to their imprisonment in time capsules at various locations throughout the origin system during this time an incident at an oracan experimental lab housing the tenno and a factory of new void-based machines known as warframes led to the development of tenno-controlled warframes which the orokin could actually control in comparison to their eventually the old war has become so dire for the sentience that their leader hen Hao Senti mimic sentient known as NATA his last daughter to warm into the ranks of the Oregon as the lotus lotus resembling margulus with the goal of destroying the tenno from within was a plan of an Insider of the orokin yet again Ballas NATA or the Lotus eventually took over the control of the tenno and led them under her leadership but the orokin were aware of her not being an orokin so they captured her and reprogrammed her just before or she could destroy the tenno Lotus and the tenno then destroyed the sentience and forced them back out of the origin system and how their leader tried to convince Lotus or NATA to end the tenno but was thus presumably killed somewhere around Uranus the leadership of the sentient race now came down to era his son who swore Vengeance on the tenno and the orokin but when that will come was unknown the orokin were ecstatic and celebrated their victory over the sentient's come but what they were not aware of is that the Lotus had a plan for them total total Annihilation the tenno and their warframes turned on to the orokin committing a genocide of solar systemic proportions after they were done the Lotus scrubbed Their Minds giving the tenno controlled warframes a second life known as the second dream and then they went to centuries-long sleep beginning an era which does not have a lore-based name but I will call this era before the Awakening foreign left people of the origin system in this array with infested outbreaks going on everywhere throughout the system existing factions such as the Corpus and new factions formed from the ashes of the orokin such as the grineer began reorganizing the solar systemic order the Corpus took many planets for themselves absorbing orokin technology and making massive profits under the Golden Hand of parvas granum because it was hard to administer a whole empire the board of Executives which helped him with the Administration has also helped him with his eventual death the grineer on the other hand were unified under the rule of the grineer Queens two orokin Elites that successfully wormed their way onto the top once again ruling the grineer with one Iron Fist in a form of heavily militaristic matriarchy remnants of other civilizations were left to themselves for example the Solaris people were technically not enslaved but technically were by the Corpus and the ostrands were consistently puckered by the grineer yeah if you weren't a member of the Corpus or The Grenier you were destined to collapse in the long term with such a huge power vacuum there should be no surprise that the grineer and the Corpus consistently battled and tried to one-up each other in their military Arsenal during this era the solar system stabilized itself but was still heavily fractured with constant clashes between these factions leading all the way to the tenno Awakening and with this I will end today's video thank you everyone for watching I am very happy to say that I am back to making content regularly for at least a few months and currently still dealing with some problems regarding a few problems in my personal life but these are just problems that take time and I know I and we will come over them eventually with this I thank you for watching and I really really wish you very nice day and I hope you like these lore videos because there is far more to come thank you again [Music] foreign [Music]
