@@kelidus while I'm inclined to say that you're right, I think Wally would have eventually figured out a way to escape the void by other means if Albrecht didn't open the initial portal. Evidence points to the void itself being sentient while Wally is just an avatar or manifestation, so I don't think it's out of the question that it could figure out a way to spread on its own
Yo, Rell is the MVP. Dude locked himself in a mental battle with Wally for YEARS to protect all the Tenno. Now the ones who shunned him, have to carry the burden so he can finally rest.
I appreciate that Rell’s “autistic superpower” was being stubborn and not being receptive to typical social cues instead of his savant hyper fixation on void drives Sure the latter helped with building the defense against Wally, but the former prevented him from being manipulated by Wally like everyone else. A being that thrives upon social deception and creating seeds of doubt could not find an entrance with someone with no inclination towards socialization and is very sure of their choices As an autistic person it’s refreshing to see
I love how every warframe is either getting sacrificed or be heroes or just depressing Then u got 2 warframe Kullervo: Criminal, Criminal, Criminal Lavos: I turn a man into Soup. The Soup is alive
Man, Kullervo's story makes a lot of sense. Ballas uses him as a scapegoat (betrays him), that's why he has all those knives in his body as if someone was stabbing him in the back.
Which means that he's innocent. Another commenter said that his arena only appears in 3 emotion spirals. Anger, fear, sorrow, which he must've felt after being jailed.
Kullervo's story is so sad! He probably did everything he could to get ballas' favor, which leads me to beleive he was a tenno controlled frame. A child, looking for someone to love him, in this new world where everyone sees him as a monster.
@@jadestory8410adding onto what you said, if that is the case then it makes a lot of sense why the children of Duviri are so heavily connected to him!
in the fight against him in duviri, during the third phase, he also spawns these shadow creatures that seem to have a face that's very similar to the warden's, and when you kill them one of them quite literally stabs kullervo in the back, which feels like it supports this conclusion
A fun little fact about Sevagoth not mentioned is that the song Sleeping in the cold Below is actually a derivative of a little lullaby that Sevagoth would sing to himself while lost in the void which the sisters eventually took as their own.
@judeamogabe8306 every peice of orokin tech had some biological element. Having a 100% pure machine was a big no-no for orokin which is why it was so difficult to get them to agree to making the sentients. They where the first 100% machine thing the orokin built and it immediately backfired
I love how theres TOXIC MIASMA frames, LITERAL DIMENSIONAL manipulators, ANTIMATER frames, etc and DAGATH is one of the strongest frame by literally THROWING HORSES TO THE ENEMY
8:00 “They reacted with thoughtfulness and maturity. Oh c’mon it’s the Orokin, they executed the HORSE!” That had me absolutely ROLLING the way you said horse
Fun fact about kullervo: his arena only spawns during anger, sorrow and fear spirals which are presumably the emotions he felt after getting imprisoned
@@Thenchresleth well, obviously. If someone close to you, someone who you've been protecting your whole life betrayed you, you wouldn't be happy. You'd be preparing day n night just to brutally delete them.
I remember pre-railjack that the De Facto currency warframe was Oberon since he used to drop like candy from eximus units People used to do “goat sacrifices” as a luck ritual before doing relics by selling off a complete set of oberon parts
You missed a very important detail in Voruna’s Story. The tenno controlling her was supposed to be the executor’s new body. It was upon seeing the tenno and recognizing them that she took the Kuva.
Yep, she really didn't want to lose her therapist and her pack and even tho maybe her operator was smart enough and was the one who advised her to do so to save the op and reunite and resurrect her pack, or maybe it was desperate move by her to just resurrect her pack and save her operator. It was a Kill 2 birds with one stone move
How could it be a tenno? Aren't they neither alive nor dead due to being touched by the void? How would you consciousness transfer into them. I don't recall the game ever mentioning it was Vorunas operator. Nor that the tenno void imbued kids could have transference done to them.
@@thedoomslayer5863 "Within the cryopod, the child's eyelids fluttered and Voruna... staggered. In what scratchy stills survived in Void-corrupted datamasses, what I saw between child and Warframe was... recognition" They both recognized each other because that was her operator. Also, He isn't the only one to try using a tenno as the Kuva Queen tried to do the same to the player in "The War Within" Quest.
About the "names give power" part, I think it's because a name would give an identity, and therefore would lead to more personality. Something like how nier handles its android names, if dagath had a name she would've felt more like an individual instead of a part of the body of dax warriors. Something to think about. Also, I love how long the umbra section is.
as mentioned above, i do think that’s kind of true but it’s less magic and more that the Orokin were so monumentally cruel that even the slightest bit of metaphorical “power”, the agency and individuality to give meaning to an attachment, was privilege that even the Dax were not deserving of. To the Orokin, a Dax had as much agency as a household appliance and as much as you can humanize a fridge or a car… at the end of the day they are not “human”. You do not expect your car to form bonds or have hobbies or wants and needs. Still, one needs to look at the origin of the term “fragging” to see why disregarding the humanity of your subordinates is a bad idea.
@@hambor12I can't think of "fragging" as anything other than me doing amazing in a video game or hobby or activity and screaming "IM FRAGGING OUT RIGHT NOW"
8:50 I think with Dagath's story and the Orokin couple's rule about naming is less about power in the "magic sense" and more in the Power Dynamic sense. For the Orokin couple, The Dax that would become Dagath was their taboo little toy whose appeal was inherently because she was a Dax, a lowly bodyguard with forbidden "steamy" allure. And because she was but a servant, she obediently followed orders and played the role of this "forbidden romance partner". Her value was not as an individual but as an embodiment of a trope, a gross simplification of a character. Adding things like attachments and wants and needs outside of the assigned "role" Dagath was unnecessary complications. This is probably also why the Orokin couple threw Dagath away when she was turned into a warframe. There was no "danger" to their relationship, the Orokin couple figured. Yes, she'd already been doing nothing but Follow Orders to begin with but ironically it was only interesting to them when there was a Power Dynamic of a lower class servant and a royal couple. Now it was just a royal couple and their very expensive sex doll. It wasn't fun if it wasn't taboo.
Yes I agree the Orokin couple only liked Dagath because it was taboo when she was a Dax warrior. Once she became a Warframe it wasn’t taboo anymore and they lost interest. Also, her Warframe face freaked them out because it was always smiling.
Also there's the question that I'm sure R34 would love to answer being, how do you "copulate" with a Warframe? Can you even do that? And if it were possible wouldn't you risk becoming infected? And depending on the official answers to such questions our Wisp Warframe may end up serving......other purposes......
Oh yea there is a bit of info about gara that should be mentioned: in her prime trailer ball(a)s tells us that the person who became gara prime volontiered instead of getting kiddnaped. Nihil then wants to jaden light her ass, but ballas laughts at his ass and proceeds to "glass" her via giving her cool glass powers
Tuvul: You want us, the Orokin government, to turn you into a warframe to protect your girlfriend who is a building? What kind of request is that? We should Glass you for this insolence Ballas and Gara simultaneously : aight bet
Mild note on Parvos and the Corpus. The Orokin *never* like Corpus, they tolerated them since they became to big of a conglomerate for them to just squash. It's part of why Ballas made Vauban, as in his respective prime trailer. Protea was a reluctant capitulation from the Orokin, the reason why of currently unknown.
If I'm remembering correctly, Protea was created as part of a deal between the Orokin and Parvos. Parvis had created Specters and the Orokin wanted the tech so Parvos made a deal in that, in exchange for the Specter tech, he would get a Warframe made with his design, as we found out in Protea Prime's video. So similar to Caliban, Protea has two creators: Ballas who made her and Parvos who came up with the design for her.
another thing to note about dagath's face..how she was basically called a doll... yeah, that's not a lie. we can see her face in dagath's hallow in the dojo. those stone faces are HER face and it is mad creepy with her just standing there and staring with that smile.
So she went from forbidden sex doll to discarded Warframe sex doll... I wonder if the story implies that the Orokin couple tried to "make it work" with her Warframe body before tossing her out.
I like to think that the lore is a strong component of why the Warframe community is one of the most kind and giving communities in gaming. Sure the background, almost subconscious thought of saving someone the horrid grind you personally went through is there, but i think, underneath it all, Its because we know that the characters and warframes we love, from the sassy "must be hard being poor" snark from Baro, to the "Be better than the you of yesterday" harsh lessons from Teshin, right down to the "you cant keep me down" attitude of the Vent Kids want us to be the best version of ourselves we can achieve. To be the best Tenno you can, you help others (Sevagoth, Inaros, Rell/Harrow, Jade probably, Neewa (not a warframe but you get the idea)) To be the best Tenno you can, you grow and learn from your past decisions trauma and mistakes (Voruna, Lavos, Umbra, Stalker) To be the best Tenno you can, you sacrifice your own happiness for the joy or safety of someone else (Citrine, and many others) (Please dont give your life for things, youre human, not a godlike machine-zombie hybrid) To be the best Tenno you can, you dont let injustice and immorality pass by when you can do something to stop it (Mag, Grendel) To be the best Tenno you can, you do the best YOU can to see the future you want come to life (Gauss, Limbo) No one is asking you to do the impossible. Warframe teaches you to do what you can, and the Tenno just happen to be really damn good at what they do. Warframe and its lore subconsciously teaches its community to be Heroes. Even if only a little. Even if only in a video game. And I think thats cool.
Nah my main takeaway is I need to go to space, find some weird point in space that disobeys all laws of existence then shake the hand of some doppelganger of me and then I get cool void powers and ascend to a higher being.
Yo i love all the lore, just wanted to give some more details on one frame Voruna. Voruna was ment to guard the tower and be obedient to that Orokin guy (i don't remember his name so let's call him Greg). But all the continuity shenanigans happened and turned out Greg wanted to use a Tenno sleeping in a cryopod as the vessel, Voruna feeling a connection to the child and wanted to protect it killing Greg and then she used the Kuva on herself to bring back the doggos, after that it's described that Voruna felt the connection to the child and took it with her, cradling it in her arms as she left. Presumably the Tenno she saved was herself which she didn't realized. That's all i had to add, absolutely love the lore vids!
I love the humor in these videos. It reminds me of Bricky and his WH40k summarized series. A mix of memes and lore that doesn't take itself seriously and embraces the insanity of the setting. Love it! Make more videos like this.
That's so awesome to hear because he's definitely an inspiration. Him, Bizly, Gigguk, Isyander and Koda, and Sir_Superhero on tiktok were all things I would watch to get the creative thoughts flowing (if you happen to know those folks.
This game's lore is what probably made me stick with it for such a long time. Its just soo cool yet simple to understand when you try to understand it. Thank you for making this great summary. It was a great refresher and I'm sure it will come in handy to many new players.
Now we'll just have to wait for Jade and the new Stalker quest to get more new lore... This video was amazing. The last line, "take away the pain of the origin system" really hits hard!. Great video!!!
I love how when this went live, near the end people in chat were saying "take it's pain away" "take it's pain away", and I was just sitting and smiling thinking to myself "They have no idea it's coming. This'll be fun"
So many people seem confused about the nature of warframe sentience or the existence of first gen frames. I've even seem some people claim the prime frames are the original frames. Maybe that can be a topic for a future video, the second dream seems to cause a lot of confusion.
I think the prime frames are the original versions that were sealed away after the orokin fell. The regular ones are possibly a mass-produced version that Ballas probably had made after but is never actually confirmed, but is a theory I had.
@@Aquageo555 No, some frames started as prime others didn't, the ones that did start as prime were likely created AFTER the discovery of the tenno since they had transference bolts. The original frames don't have transference bolts and were without piolets, think like Stalker and Jade in the recent update. The Warframes we make and use today, even the primes, are just copies that follow the blueprints of the long dead originals.
that final speech really reach me to heart. i know what's the point of the Tenno, but this kinda open my eye and make me understand what it meant. thank you O' Loremaster, i'll continue to listen to your story, your ramble, and even your jokes. and i will continue to enjoy it, every second of the way. ps.(i finally got Protea after one hell of a grind for that one part.)
Congrats on getting Protea! And thank you for the kind words, definitely put some time into making sure that ending hit just right for me, so glad I could impart that feeling to some of you guys too!
I feel like there's something really misunderstood about Lavos' story, or at least how it's told in this video, and I don't know if it's just me reading too much into it. From my perspective in the story, it's not that Javi whispered non-sense to Lavos, scribbling on the wall and Lavos suddenly figuring it out, it's that Lavos was getting taught how to use alchemy and transmutation by Javi himself in order to defect. The way it's told that Lavos was extremely punctual, beatings, food and water, all at the same time each day, much like a student going to class, the beatings being a disguise, Javi getting brutally beat but knowing that that was the only way it'd work and wouldn't raise suspicion, which is SO METAL and cool and gives their story such depth. And also Lavos' syandana in the Leverian literally calling Javi and Lavos teacher and student respectively and that Javi was teaching Lavos.
I guess if they turned *only* his dead body, then maybe he could be Ash? Turning someone into a cephalon involves glassing their brain to turn them, so there's no way Ash could have a personality.
@@popkb Unless they introduce another Warframe that first his lore better, yeah. I just can't see the Orokin letting the body of their greatest assassin go to waste.
For a fun breadcrumb trail, read some of Parvos early lore fragments about how/where he got the idea to found the Corprus. Consider that Protea's powers only transport people to places they've already been. And really pay attention when the Captain lady is "rescued" to what you hear and what you don't see. And that Loid mentions having to defend the Sanctum from Parvos "thugs" in the past.
Dagath, im pretty sure, is based on a Celtic faery called a Dullahan, think the grim reaper meets headless horseman except this faery carries it head by its side as it rides through the night. The idea that knowing something's true name gives you power over it is a theme in Celtic myth. Youre never supposed to tell a member of the fae your real name as it could let them place a hex on you or do any number of evil things. You're never supposed to make deals with them either cause despite what they promise, making a deal with them is either like a Monkey's paw thing or they'll always want your first born child. Her lore is very old world myth-like and I REALLY love it.
And it's also a gateway for R34 Warframe to have a field day.... You know what she was "used for" by the Orokin couple pre Warframe body. Who's to say she didn't serve the same use for a time in her new Warframe body. Hey wisssppppp lol.
The Orokin occupy that category of sci-fi factions who are 'the dumbest smart people.' Smart enough to be technically advanced, not smart enough to avoid making odd decisions. Also, Rell is the GOAT. RIP King.
While I don't have any theories to add to this smorgasbord of lore, I do want to shout out two honorary Tenno from other works: Hayden Tenno - darkSector: Literally the Tenno's namesake from a meta perspective as they took their name from Hayden's surname (and the Japanese word roughly meaning "Heavenly Emperor", which is also the honorific used for Japan's Emperor), Hayden Tenno was a CIA Agent sent to investigate a mysterious plague in the fictional nation of Lasria that he winds up infected with, eventually becoming a powerful armor set for him. That armor wound up in Warframe as the Proto-Armor Skin for Excalibur, and a boss from darkSector also became a unique skin for Nyx. Prior to a few retcons, Hayden Tenno was also said to have been the first Tenno by DE; it looks like Warframe 1999 is going to be a redo of darkSector's modern Earth setting, redressed so that Arthur is Hayden's equivalent. Firefly - Honkai: Star Rail: Firefly is likely one of the first examples of Warframe being used as a reference point in designing a character's lore and backstory. Firefly is an adorable little cutie patootie (...Sorry) who is one of the few, if not only, survivors of the Iron Knights of Glamoth, superpowered artificial humans created to defend Glamoth from the Swarms of Tayzzyronth, Aeon of The Propagation (think one of HSR's Gods), using powerful armor suits known as Strategic Assault Mechas, or SAMs; kind of like how the Tenno were used by the Orokin to defend Origin from the Sentients via using their Warframes to channel their Void powers. The effort the Iron Knights went through to save Glamoth ultimately failed, though, and Glamoth fell to the fell bugs of The Propagation while Firefly fled into interstellar space; eventually coming into contact with the mysterious Elio who offered to give her a purpose in life if she worked for him as an agent of the criminal organization known as the Stellaron Hunters. Under the Stellaron Hunters, Firefly would use her SAM, a cross between a Kamen Rider, a Tekkaman, the Turn A Gundam, and a masculine version of the Warframe Ember to wreak utter havoc and devastation but she was always frustrated by this as she wanted to be more - think of her as a post-Old War Tenno but without the Lotus to guide her - eventually leading Elio to direct her to go to the planet Penacony where she would wind up meeting the Nameless, followers of Akivili, Aeon of The Trailblaze and the group HSR's player-character, the Trailblazer, belongs to, and forge some genuine friendships with the group, especially the Trailblazer. Oh, also, Firefly is sick like the Tenno but instead of rampant Void poisoning she deals with something called "Entropy Loss Syndrome", a disease built in to the Iron Cavalry's human components by the Glamothian leadership so as to not have to rehabilitate them after the Swarm had been dealt with that basically means she experiences time more slowly and eventually will just fade from existence as Creation moves on without her.
The Gauss and Grendel one was pretty damn good. But Excalibur Umbra...dude. I didn't know what the lore was back then, but me living the lore of Excalibur Umbra was awesome. And you explaining the lore of everything until Excalibur Umbra made me wanna play it again. Excalibur Umbra was a loving father. Reliving the memory of him killing his son over and over again, until we came. We basically made him regain peace and made him forgive himself. Now he is in our side and is actually still around. Ordis (Spoilers)during the new quest was searching around for whoever entered our ship, and actually called out for us and then Umbra. So he is still around on our ship just...doing whatever the hell he does and not some throwaway Frame. I'm glad about that.
Dagath - In Dagath's hollow (a room you can build in your clan's dojo for dagath Bps) there are masks/faces on the walls that are suppposedly Dagath's face before .... You know....
What a great way to end a video. Way to make me cry (again). "Sacrifice" really was a game changer. It's such a specific turning point, a huge shift for gaming (I think) and for how I approach games/stories. DE is really out here writing some of the best lore, weaving in all kinds of emotional and philosophical themes. And yeah, the game is still a runny-shooty-flippy sci-fi power fantasy, but the warframes themselves are also kind of like a wish fulfillment, being a big damn hero. Maybe we'll never do anything as heroic or cool as we see in game, but there's still some lessons you can take out of the game. Simple stuff, like being kind, being dependable, and don't be a podcaster or create bioweapons.
Warframe is one of the most wildest rides you can have in the world of gaming industry. At first it's a confusing mess, as you get hold of the systems, combat and the cycle of constantly upgrading your gear... But then something hit you. You learn about the story of this world, you're being constantly questioned if whatever you're doing is right. Why things like wrath are considered a "good" or "white" choice, while emptiness or lack of emotions is considered "black" choice. And in some quests you're hit even more. Warframe's aren't just robots or meat puppets condemned in metal coffins. They were all people. They were humans... With shattered minds, tortured beyond imagination, shunned for whatever they were at this specific point in time. It's this type of things which made us rethink some things. Was it right? Are we the good guys? Was it even worth it? Yes, I'm talking about the game where you slaughter enemies by millions. Burn them, decapitate them, crush, send into different reality of melt into biological pulp. These are these little stories which made us sit down and think: "Maybe small acts of kindness, having someone open up to you, care for you. Maybe knowing you're not alone is enough... And maybe all we need is just hope."
Beautifully written my friend. If somebody just wants to play Warframe for the explosions and grinding and stuff, that is totally fine, but I appreciate that they've added this narrative layer to it for anyone that's interested
The story that hit with me the most was Titania's, its a Frankenstein's monster type of story with a good ending. Imagine, creating a creature you hate and despise so much, something you wished to die so badly. Yet, it protected you, it saved you, gave it's life for you, knowing full well that you despise it. Imagine the feeling one must have at this, the shock that after such cruelty and hatred, the same being you expected to leave you to die, died for you.
35:40 I think they didn't do it because if he ever survived the jade light, people will eventually found out about it and raise even more interest regarding alchemy and transmutation.
Amazing video and as a lore nut I appreciate them especially with the jokes thrown in as a lot of them got a good chuckle from me. The only point I was iffy on is Harrow because (and correct me if i'm wrong) iirc the Harrow frame itself is of unknown origins and was believed to be a gift from Wally to Rell only for it to later become their prison. I think it's in the lore entry or somewhere around (it's been a long time) that mentions Harrow was already ON the Zariman something that shouldn't have even been feasible at the time given the warframe timeline and just showed how otherworldly and powerful Wally really was. Edit: also as a lore nut extremely excited for Jade's release. Can't wait to get more info on the stalker and to learn just how/why theres now a stalker....for the stalker.
Ash has always been my favorite Frame And not only did you kick this video off with him You gave us what the Leverian didnt Play by play of just how badass our boy is. Thanks dude Amazing videos
Yeah, I do want part 2. Thanks very much. I appreciate it, and I will enjoy watching this with a nice drink while I work. Keep up the god damn good work. I'm subbing.
Bro, just the name Rell sent a goosebump down on my spine. Yes, that quest scared the shit out of me, how did you know? Also the mantra of good ol' Wally appeared there first so, you know.... Rap tap tap
I have a theory, might be wrong might have holes but here it is. Parvos is the Man in the wall, or at least one of them. We see the Man in the wall who looks like us sitting in the chair at the end of Whispers in the wall quest. Another entity that looks like Albrecth Entrati then stands next to him, and we learned that was actually the Man in the wall who followed Albrecht into 1999, and apparently came back. So now there were 2 of them. When Parvos extends his hand to the Sister, we hear his voice distorted and the music is the theme of the Man in the wall, also giving out the hand kinda shows it too. Lastly in Operation Belly of the Beast, Parvos reveals he understands Voidtongue, and understood it naturally when he heard it. Plus he was in the void for how many years? Rambling over, thanks.
Can't imagine how much time and reasearch this must of taken but it was still very enjoyable to watch Edit: My friend and I have 2 nicknames for Qorvex because he's made from concrete, at least his plates are, so we called him the "Concrete Connoisseur" or sometimes "Concrete Drinker" and on rare occasions "Funny Rock Man"
These videos really make what happens during the quests easier to digest. A lot of the side quests especially I lose track of what's actually happening
The dialogue can also be very vague and potentially mean multiple things so I'm glad I can hopefully break things down in a slightly more straight forward way!
The best update to this game, and probably a dream to be left forever in my mind, would be to find Umbral bolts for every Warframe, allowing access to a special mini quest and unlocking some bonus for that Warframe (possibly not the Umbra passive of walking around, since that usually causes more problems than it solves).
About the Inaros story: there was an event where Alad V wanted to take Mars and experiment on a Warframe he found there. But we could also side with the Grineer in taking Mars to prevent Alad from getting his hands on the Warframe with the trade off being that the Grineer would Exterminate every colony on Mars... And well we sided with the Grineer... And with Inaros not there to protect them, we were kinda responsible for the deaths of Baro's people...
Umbras quest is something else, despite all of the warframes lore and how they become one, umbra shows the true torture that happens, which with the 1999 update and proto frames, is interesting to see how would go forward
One thing to note about Gara(besides her name, you actually got it right before you corrected yourself, it's pronounced with a long a) is that we know why she's the glass warframe, and it's actually surprisingly wholesome. Essentially the woman who would become Gara volunteered herself to become a Warframe, knowing the truth. Nihil called for her to be glassed, essentially punishing her "for her presumption". Ballas took all this and used it as inspiration for her design. To honor her sacrifice he "encased her in crystal most fine" i.e. made her into the glass warframe. Source: Her prime trailer
I like how Dagath doesn't have a face as a copy. Like we the Tenno, did not look for the original schematics for Dagath, but instead settled on the damaged one. Imagine what power she had before then.
I love how for every other frame I had some meme audio or general background noise, but for Umbra I was like "Nah, it's got to be his yell, there's nothing else that can go here."
“Bro, it wasn’t glass, it was a BOMB”
Nobody ever accused Vay Hek of being too smart.

@@kelidus while I'm inclined to say that you're right, I think Wally would have eventually figured out a way to escape the void by other means if Albrecht didn't open the initial portal. Evidence points to the void itself being sentient while Wally is just an avatar or manifestation, so I don't think it's out of the question that it could figure out a way to spread on its own
Moral of Dagath's Story:
Don't attempt to kill your goth warrior polygamy partner, and Old Yeller their pet horse.
I'm surprised Bluey hasn't taught me that lesson yet, it's a good one.
Why would you ever want to kill your hot goth horse rider second GF? One of the Orokins least understandable decisions.
Yo, Rell is the MVP. Dude locked himself in a mental battle with Wally for YEARS to protect all the Tenno. Now the ones who shunned him, have to carry the burden so he can finally rest.
Honestly rn, he's easily stronger than everyone in-game (except for wally) so far, even lotus. Much less our tenno.
Eh, I feel like it's up to you if your Operator was an ass or not.
I appreciate that Rell’s “autistic superpower” was being stubborn and not being receptive to typical social cues instead of his savant hyper fixation on void drives
Sure the latter helped with building the defense against Wally, but the former prevented him from being manipulated by Wally like everyone else. A being that thrives upon social deception and creating seeds of doubt could not find an entrance with someone with no inclination towards socialization and is very sure of their choices
As an autistic person it’s refreshing to see
Rell for President
@@fairlywren3664 in my head cannon, my operator didn't shun Rell.

He mathed the wrong equation and got shredded cheese.
that moment when you equip umbra for the first and it goes mad and dashes for your tenno will always be top 3 moments in warframe for me
Same here!
Man, Kullervo's story makes a lot of sense. Ballas uses him as a scapegoat (betrays him), that's why he has all those knives in his body as if someone was stabbing him in the back.
Didn't even think of the knife analogy but that definitely works!
Which means that he's innocent. Another commenter said that his arena only appears in 3 emotion spirals. Anger, fear, sorrow, which he must've felt after being jailed.
Kullervo's story is so sad! He probably did everything he could to get ballas' favor, which leads me to beleive he was a tenno controlled frame. A child, looking for someone to love him, in this new world where everyone sees him as a monster.
@@jadestory8410adding onto what you said, if that is the case then it makes a lot of sense why the children of Duviri are so heavily connected to him!

@judeamogabe8306 every peice of orokin tech had some biological element. Having a 100% pure machine was a big no-no for orokin which is why it was so difficult to get them to agree to making the sentients. They where the first 100% machine thing the orokin built and it immediately backfired
I love how theres TOXIC MIASMA frames, LITERAL DIMENSIONAL manipulators, ANTIMATER frames, etc
and DAGATH is one of the strongest frame by literally THROWING HORSES TO THE ENEMY
The enemy is simply that hungry.
Horsing around, doing damage.
How hungry?
Dagath: "Honse"
Everyone else:*dead*
She got the horses in the back, that's why.
8:00 “They reacted with thoughtfulness and maturity. Oh c’mon it’s the Orokin, they executed the HORSE!” That had me absolutely ROLLING the way you said horse

….and the rest is a pain to get. 🗿
I remember pre-railjack that the De Facto currency warframe was Oberon since he used to drop like candy from eximus units
People used to do “goat sacrifices” as a luck ritual before doing relics by selling off a complete set of oberon parts
Love how you noticed that!
What 30 Harrow Chassis for 35k could get you backthen.
You missed a very important detail in Voruna’s Story. The tenno controlling her was supposed to be the executor’s new body. It was upon seeing the tenno and recognizing them that she took the Kuva.
Yep, she really didn't want to lose her therapist and her pack and even tho maybe her operator was smart enough and was the one who advised her to do so to save the op and reunite and resurrect her pack, or maybe it was desperate move by her to just resurrect her pack and save her operator. It was a Kill 2 birds with one stone move
How could it be a tenno? Aren't they neither alive nor dead due to being touched by the void? How would you consciousness transfer into them. I don't recall the game ever mentioning it was Vorunas operator. Nor that the tenno void imbued kids could have transference done to them.
@@thedoomslayer5863 "Within the cryopod, the child's eyelids fluttered and Voruna... staggered. In what scratchy stills survived in Void-corrupted datamasses, what I saw between child and Warframe was... recognition"
They both recognized each other because that was her operator.
Also, He isn't the only one to try using a tenno as the Kuva Queen tried to do the same to the player in "The War Within" Quest.
About the "names give power" part, I think it's because a name would give an identity, and therefore would lead to more personality. Something like how nier handles its android names, if dagath had a name she would've felt more like an individual instead of a part of the body of dax warriors. Something to think about.
Also, I love how long the umbra section is.
Kinda like how Dresden Files works with naming things, in a way. How a Lash is different than a Lasciel.
as mentioned above, i do think that’s kind of true but it’s less magic and more that the Orokin were so monumentally cruel that even the slightest bit of metaphorical “power”, the agency and individuality to give meaning to an attachment, was privilege that even the Dax were not deserving of.
To the Orokin, a Dax had as much agency as a household appliance and as much as you can humanize a fridge or a car… at the end of the day they are not “human”. You do not expect your car to form bonds or have hobbies or wants and needs.
Still, one needs to look at the origin of the term “fragging” to see why disregarding the humanity of your subordinates is a bad idea.
@@hambor12I can't think of "fragging" as anything other than me doing amazing in a video game or hobby or activity and screaming "IM FRAGGING OUT RIGHT NOW"
I like how Nezha is sharpest image from all even sharper than our Loremaster XD
The loremaster? No. Our Loremaster *soviet anthem intensifies*
Just saying there's a reason he's lookin to the right. And it's a damn fine reason.
That's why I subbed. Guy knows how to swing a lay
I like that too!
8:50 I think with Dagath's story and the Orokin couple's rule about naming is less about power in the "magic sense" and more in the Power Dynamic sense. For the Orokin couple, The Dax that would become Dagath was their taboo little toy whose appeal was inherently because she was a Dax, a lowly bodyguard with forbidden "steamy" allure. And because she was but a servant, she obediently followed orders and played the role of this "forbidden romance partner". Her value was not as an individual but as an embodiment of a trope, a gross simplification of a character. Adding things like attachments and wants and needs outside of the assigned "role" Dagath was unnecessary complications.
This is probably also why the Orokin couple threw Dagath away when she was turned into a warframe. There was no "danger" to their relationship, the Orokin couple figured. Yes, she'd already been doing nothing but Follow Orders to begin with but ironically it was only interesting to them when there was a Power Dynamic of a lower class servant and a royal couple. Now it was just a royal couple and their very expensive sex doll. It wasn't fun if it wasn't taboo.
I definitely appreciate the points made here! It's an interesting theory! Thank you for your contribution to the library!
Yes I agree the Orokin couple only liked Dagath because it was taboo when she was a Dax warrior. Once she became a Warframe it wasn’t taboo anymore and they lost interest. Also, her Warframe face freaked them out because it was always smiling.
Also there's the question that I'm sure R34 would love to answer being, how do you "copulate" with a Warframe? Can you even do that? And if it were possible wouldn't you risk becoming infected?
And depending on the official answers to such questions our Wisp Warframe may end up serving......other purposes......
16:05 and in game Grendel can keep up with Gauss' speed. So they literally are besties for life
Oh yea there is a bit of info about gara that should be mentioned: in her prime trailer ball(a)s tells us that the person who became gara prime volontiered instead of getting kiddnaped. Nihil then wants to jaden light her ass, but ballas laughts at his ass and proceeds to "glass" her via giving her cool glass powers
Tuvul: You want us, the Orokin government, to turn you into a warframe to protect your girlfriend who is a building? What kind of request is that? We should Glass you for this insolence
Ballas and Gara simultaneously : aight bet
Mild note on Parvos and the Corpus. The Orokin *never* like Corpus, they tolerated them since they became to big of a conglomerate for them to just squash. It's part of why Ballas made Vauban, as in his respective prime trailer. Protea was a reluctant capitulation from the Orokin, the reason why of currently unknown.
If I'm remembering correctly, Protea was created as part of a deal between the Orokin and Parvos. Parvis had created Specters and the Orokin wanted the tech so Parvos made a deal in that, in exchange for the Specter tech, he would get a Warframe made with his design, as we found out in Protea Prime's video.
So similar to Caliban, Protea has two creators: Ballas who made her and Parvos who came up with the design for her.
We end as we began... With my favourite frame!
Had to save the best for last!
another thing to note about dagath's face..how she was basically called a doll... yeah, that's not a lie. we can see her face in dagath's hallow in the dojo. those stone faces are HER face and it is mad creepy with her just standing there and staring with that smile.
So she went from forbidden sex doll to discarded Warframe sex doll... I wonder if the story implies that the Orokin couple tried to "make it work" with her Warframe body before tossing her out.
That speech at the End , Beautiful simply Beautiful ✋😔
Thank you my friend! Glad you enjoyed!
"All in the hopes that one day we can look at this ugly broken thing that is the Origin System, *and take its pain away.*" Chills, well done.
I like to think that the lore is a strong component of why the Warframe community is one of the most kind and giving communities in gaming.
Sure the background, almost subconscious thought of saving someone the horrid grind you personally went through is there, but i think, underneath it all, Its because we know that the characters and warframes we love,
from the sassy "must be hard being poor" snark from Baro,
to the "Be better than the you of yesterday" harsh lessons from Teshin,
right down to the "you cant keep me down" attitude of the Vent Kids
want us to be the best version of ourselves we can achieve.
To be the best Tenno you can, you help others (Sevagoth, Inaros, Rell/Harrow, Jade probably, Neewa (not a warframe but you get the idea))
To be the best Tenno you can, you grow and learn from your past decisions trauma and mistakes (Voruna, Lavos, Umbra, Stalker)
To be the best Tenno you can, you sacrifice your own happiness for the joy or safety of someone else (Citrine, and many others) (Please dont give your life for things, youre human, not a godlike machine-zombie hybrid)
To be the best Tenno you can, you dont let injustice and immorality pass by when you can do something to stop it (Mag, Grendel)
To be the best Tenno you can, you do the best YOU can to see the future you want come to life (Gauss, Limbo)
No one is asking you to do the impossible. Warframe teaches you to do what you can, and the Tenno just happen to be really damn good at what they do.
Warframe and its lore subconsciously teaches its community to be Heroes. Even if only a little. Even if only in a video game.
And I think thats cool.
Nah my main takeaway is I need to go to space, find some weird point in space that disobeys all laws of existence then shake the hand of some doppelganger of me and then I get cool void powers and ascend to a higher being.
This is like a damn mythological story. A glass women and a tower fight a damn giant sterile metal monster I love this damn game
Dude, that closimg message legitimately made me cry😭

Well you know what you gotta do now. Pull a Pokemon and Catch'em All lmao
I also like Lotus' line at the end of New war, dream not of what you once were, but who you have become
Yo i love all the lore, just wanted to give some more details on one frame Voruna.
Voruna was ment to guard the tower and be obedient to that Orokin guy (i don't remember his name so let's call him Greg). But all the continuity shenanigans happened and turned out Greg wanted to use a Tenno sleeping in a cryopod as the vessel, Voruna feeling a connection to the child and wanted to protect it killing Greg and then she used the Kuva on herself to bring back the doggos, after that it's described that Voruna felt the connection to the child and took it with her, cradling it in her arms as she left.
Presumably the Tenno she saved was herself which she didn't realized.
That's all i had to add, absolutely love the lore vids!
Thank you for your contribution to the library my friend!
You gotta cover Revenant Prime, he comes from a parallel universe and is a Vampire-Eidolon frame
O.o
I love the humor in these videos. It reminds me of Bricky and his WH40k summarized series. A mix of memes and lore that doesn't take itself seriously and embraces the insanity of the setting. Love it! Make more videos like this.
That's so awesome to hear because he's definitely an inspiration. Him, Bizly, Gigguk, Isyander and Koda, and Sir_Superhero on tiktok were all things I would watch to get the creative thoughts flowing (if you happen to know those folks.
This game's lore is what probably made me stick with it for such a long time. Its just soo cool yet simple to understand when you try to understand it.
Thank you for making this great summary. It was a great refresher and I'm sure it will come in handy to many new players.
I hope so! It can definitely be intimidating to get into but I hope I've done a good job of making it relatively straight-forward.
Now we'll just have to wait for Jade and the new Stalker quest to get more new lore...
This video was amazing. The last line, "take away the pain of the origin system" really hits hard!. Great video!!!
I love how when this went live, near the end people in chat were saying "take it's pain away" "take it's pain away", and I was just sitting and smiling thinking to myself "They have no idea it's coming. This'll be fun"
vay hek eventually found out how to kill a sentient through a lone greneier that actually pulled a gara.... for my .... for my brothers *boooooomm*
"Don't be afraid."
So many people seem confused about the nature of warframe sentience or the existence of first gen frames. I've even seem some people claim the prime frames are the original frames. Maybe that can be a topic for a future video, the second dream seems to cause a lot of confusion.
"Some Warframes were Prime from the start. Others earned it. Ballas never told the whole truth." -Varzia
I always thought prime warframes were the peak versions of their performance: where everything was golden
I think the prime frames are the original versions that were sealed away after the orokin fell. The regular ones are possibly a mass-produced version that Ballas probably had made after but is never actually confirmed, but is a theory I had.
@@Aquageo555 No, some frames started as prime others didn't, the ones that did start as prime were likely created AFTER the discovery of the tenno since they had transference bolts. The original frames don't have transference bolts and were without piolets, think like Stalker and Jade in the recent update. The Warframes we make and use today, even the primes, are just copies that follow the blueprints of the long dead originals.
@@zaviki7819wouldn't a prime be the Ballas masterpiece enhanced version?
It's a shame that Xaku's fragmented Warframes aren't the same squad that died when attacking the mirmudon with ivara.
that final speech really reach me to heart. i know what's the point of the Tenno, but this kinda open my eye and make me understand what it meant. thank you O' Loremaster, i'll continue to listen to your story, your ramble, and even your jokes. and i will continue to enjoy it, every second of the way.
ps.(i finally got Protea after one hell of a grind for that one part.)
Congrats on getting Protea! And thank you for the kind words, definitely put some time into making sure that ending hit just right for me, so glad I could impart that feeling to some of you guys too!
I feel like there's something really misunderstood about Lavos' story, or at least how it's told in this video, and I don't know if it's just me reading too much into it.
From my perspective in the story, it's not that Javi whispered non-sense to Lavos, scribbling on the wall and Lavos suddenly figuring it out, it's that Lavos was getting taught how to use alchemy and transmutation by Javi himself in order to defect.
The way it's told that Lavos was extremely punctual, beatings, food and water, all at the same time each day, much like a student going to class, the beatings being a disguise, Javi getting brutally beat but knowing that that was the only way it'd work and wouldn't raise suspicion, which is SO METAL and cool and gives their story such depth.
And also Lavos' syandana in the Leverian literally calling Javi and Lavos teacher and student respectively and that Javi was teaching Lavos.
I am CONVINCED that Ash is what's left of the Beast of Bones. If you know, you know.
I guess if they turned *only* his dead body, then maybe he could be Ash? Turning someone into a cephalon involves glassing their brain to turn them, so there's no way Ash could have a personality.
So Cephilon Ordis, previously known as Ordin Karis is... Ash?
@@popkb Unless they introduce another Warframe that first his lore better, yeah. I just can't see the Orokin letting the body of their greatest assassin go to waste.
For a fun breadcrumb trail, read some of Parvos early lore fragments about how/where he got the idea to found the Corprus. Consider that Protea's powers only transport people to places they've already been. And really pay attention when the Captain lady is "rescued" to what you hear and what you don't see. And that Loid mentions having to defend the Sanctum from Parvos "thugs" in the past.
You are the first person to ever be able to get me to not only understand, but like Warframe lore, I'm truly glad I stumbled upon your channel.
Maybe the warframe lore is the friends we made along the way?
Dagath, im pretty sure, is based on a Celtic faery called a Dullahan, think the grim reaper meets headless horseman except this faery carries it head by its side as it rides through the night. The idea that knowing something's true name gives you power over it is a theme in Celtic myth. Youre never supposed to tell a member of the fae your real name as it could let them place a hex on you or do any number of evil things. You're never supposed to make deals with them either cause despite what they promise, making a deal with them is either like a Monkey's paw thing or they'll always want your first born child. Her lore is very old world myth-like and I REALLY love it.
And it's also a gateway for R34 Warframe to have a field day.... You know what she was "used for" by the Orokin couple pre Warframe body. Who's to say she didn't serve the same use for a time in her new Warframe body. Hey wisssppppp lol.

Titania - killing platoon of dax just to be killed by a bleed proc
While I don't have any theories to add to this smorgasbord of lore, I do want to shout out two honorary Tenno from other works:
Hayden Tenno - darkSector: Literally the Tenno's namesake from a meta perspective as they took their name from Hayden's surname (and the Japanese word roughly meaning "Heavenly Emperor", which is also the honorific used for Japan's Emperor), Hayden Tenno was a CIA Agent sent to investigate a mysterious plague in the fictional nation of Lasria that he winds up infected with, eventually becoming a powerful armor set for him. That armor wound up in Warframe as the Proto-Armor Skin for Excalibur, and a boss from darkSector also became a unique skin for Nyx. Prior to a few retcons, Hayden Tenno was also said to have been the first Tenno by DE; it looks like Warframe 1999 is going to be a redo of darkSector's modern Earth setting, redressed so that Arthur is Hayden's equivalent.
Firefly - Honkai: Star Rail: Firefly is likely one of the first examples of Warframe being used as a reference point in designing a character's lore and backstory. Firefly is an adorable little cutie patootie (...Sorry) who is one of the few, if not only, survivors of the Iron Knights of Glamoth, superpowered artificial humans created to defend Glamoth from the Swarms of Tayzzyronth, Aeon of The Propagation (think one of HSR's Gods), using powerful armor suits known as Strategic Assault Mechas, or SAMs; kind of like how the Tenno were used by the Orokin to defend Origin from the Sentients via using their Warframes to channel their Void powers. The effort the Iron Knights went through to save Glamoth ultimately failed, though, and Glamoth fell to the fell bugs of The Propagation while Firefly fled into interstellar space; eventually coming into contact with the mysterious Elio who offered to give her a purpose in life if she worked for him as an agent of the criminal organization known as the Stellaron Hunters. Under the Stellaron Hunters, Firefly would use her SAM, a cross between a Kamen Rider, a Tekkaman, the Turn A Gundam, and a masculine version of the Warframe Ember to wreak utter havoc and devastation but she was always frustrated by this as she wanted to be more - think of her as a post-Old War Tenno but without the Lotus to guide her - eventually leading Elio to direct her to go to the planet Penacony where she would wind up meeting the Nameless, followers of Akivili, Aeon of The Trailblaze and the group HSR's player-character, the Trailblazer, belongs to, and forge some genuine friendships with the group, especially the Trailblazer. Oh, also, Firefly is sick like the Tenno but instead of rampant Void poisoning she deals with something called "Entropy Loss Syndrome", a disease built in to the Iron Cavalry's human components by the Glamothian leadership so as to not have to rehabilitate them after the Swarm had been dealt with that basically means she experiences time more slowly and eventually will just fade from existence as Creation moves on without her.
that was some solid effort putting this video together. cheers!
DE need to either sponsor or just straight up hire him. I've never been more addicted to a series. Story telling is immaculate
Honestly this might be the most beautiful and inspiring video i’ve ever seen thank you for making this.( It was also entertaining and informational!😁)
It May be cheating but its alluded to in khoras prime trailer that she was made by ballas to honour margulis after she was executed
Ballas once again, the wierdest and biggest simp in warframe. my god
The Gauss and Grendel one was pretty damn good. But Excalibur Umbra...dude. I didn't know what the lore was back then, but me living the lore of Excalibur Umbra was awesome. And you explaining the lore of everything until Excalibur Umbra made me wanna play it again. Excalibur Umbra was a loving father. Reliving the memory of him killing his son over and over again, until we came. We basically made him regain peace and made him forgive himself. Now he is in our side and is actually still around. Ordis (Spoilers)during the new quest was searching around for whoever entered our ship, and actually called out for us and then Umbra. So he is still around on our ship just...doing whatever the hell he does and not some throwaway Frame. I'm glad about that.
Dagath - In Dagath's hollow (a room you can build in your clan's dojo for dagath Bps) there are masks/faces on the walls that are suppposedly Dagath's face before .... You know....
I like how the chad atlas was all the orokin sent to destroy a world exploding meteor🗿
What a great way to end a video. Way to make me cry (again).
"Sacrifice" really was a game changer. It's such a specific turning point, a huge shift for gaming (I think) and for how I approach games/stories. DE is really out here writing some of the best lore, weaving in all kinds of emotional and philosophical themes.
And yeah, the game is still a runny-shooty-flippy sci-fi power fantasy, but the warframes themselves are also kind of like a wish fulfillment, being a big damn hero. Maybe we'll never do anything as heroic or cool as we see in game, but there's still some lessons you can take out of the game. Simple stuff, like being kind, being dependable, and don't be a podcaster or create bioweapons.
Warframe is one of the most wildest rides you can have in the world of gaming industry.
At first it's a confusing mess, as you get hold of the systems, combat and the cycle of constantly upgrading your gear...
But then something hit you. You learn about the story of this world, you're being constantly questioned if whatever you're doing is right. Why things like wrath are considered a "good" or "white" choice, while emptiness or lack of emotions is considered "black" choice.
And in some quests you're hit even more. Warframe's aren't just robots or meat puppets condemned in metal coffins. They were all people. They were humans... With shattered minds, tortured beyond imagination, shunned for whatever they were at this specific point in time. It's this type of things which made us rethink some things. Was it right? Are we the good guys? Was it even worth it?
Yes, I'm talking about the game where you slaughter enemies by millions. Burn them, decapitate them, crush, send into different reality of melt into biological pulp.
These are these little stories which made us sit down and think: "Maybe small acts of kindness, having someone open up to you, care for you. Maybe knowing you're not alone is enough... And maybe all we need is just hope."
Beautifully written my friend. If somebody just wants to play Warframe for the explosions and grinding and stuff, that is totally fine, but I appreciate that they've added this narrative layer to it for anyone that's interested
This is great I just saw pt 1 and tought I had to wait forever for part 2. Thanks man
Lol, perfect timing! Glad to hear that.
As someone who has played Warframe since 2015, that speech at the end, encapsulating the whole of the game so perfectly, gave me actual chills
YAAAAAAASS and with Queen Titania on the thumbnail too let's go
Great video man we really appreciate your efforts, i really enjoyed this and the first part and your other lore videos, keep it up
I found your page from part 1 in my recommendations great vids wish there where longer i like to play and listen
i love how Umbra is potentially the most horrifying story but we just give him a sedative and he’s like “ight, i’ll bite”
This, this was beautiful. Thank you for your hard work.
During the recent stalker quest, theres a cool detail that umbra is just chilling in the orbiter when ordis called him out.
An hour long lore? I loved it damn. Keep it up man.
My hands are broken but my spirit is not!
Last part was really well written sales pitch for warframe! Love it!
The story that hit with me the most was Titania's, its a Frankenstein's monster type of story with a good ending.
Imagine, creating a creature you hate and despise so much, something you wished to die so badly. Yet, it protected you, it saved you, gave it's life for you, knowing full well that you despise it.
Imagine the feeling one must have at this, the shock that after such cruelty and hatred, the same being you expected to leave you to die, died for you.
35:40 I think they didn't do it because if he ever survived the jade light, people will eventually found out about it and raise even more interest regarding alchemy and transmutation.
Good point, they probably could've kept it a secret somehow though I imagine.
nailed the homies Gauss and Grendel perfectly. i dont think i could have done so any bit better
I love when Warframes have an established relationship with each other. Makes them feel more connected.
The sacrifice is the reason for why it is legally required to play new war with Umbral.
Amazing video and as a lore nut I appreciate them especially with the jokes thrown in as a lot of them got a good chuckle from me. The only point I was iffy on is Harrow because (and correct me if i'm wrong) iirc the Harrow frame itself is of unknown origins and was believed to be a gift from Wally to Rell only for it to later become their prison. I think it's in the lore entry or somewhere around (it's been a long time) that mentions Harrow was already ON the Zariman something that shouldn't have even been feasible at the time given the warframe timeline and just showed how otherworldly and powerful Wally really was.
Edit: also as a lore nut extremely excited for Jade's release. Can't wait to get more info on the stalker and to learn just how/why theres now a stalker....for the stalker.
Ash has always been my favorite Frame

an hour of corgie? The razorback can wait, we're learning good today.
Literally stops fighting an entire space fleet to learn about lore. That's a great loreling right there lmao
I have a theory, might be wrong might have holes but here it is.
Parvos is the Man in the wall, or at least one of them.
We see the Man in the wall who looks like us sitting in the chair at the end of Whispers in the wall quest. Another entity that looks like Albrecth Entrati then stands next to him, and we learned that was actually the Man in the wall who followed Albrecht into 1999, and apparently came back. So now there were 2 of them.
When Parvos extends his hand to the Sister, we hear his voice distorted and the music is the theme of the Man in the wall, also giving out the hand kinda shows it too. Lastly in Operation Belly of the Beast, Parvos reveals he understands Voidtongue, and understood it naturally when he heard it. Plus he was in the void for how many years?
Rambling over, thanks.
I love this video. It made me laugh, cry, spooked, tears of joy and all. Even made me love Warframe more. 😅

Edit: My friend and I have 2 nicknames for Qorvex because he's made from concrete, at least his plates are, so we called him the "Concrete Connoisseur" or sometimes "Concrete Drinker" and on rare occasions "Funny Rock Man"
i have a friend that calls him "chernobyl imminent"
@@nerovanbraus9119 I love that
Combined with part 1, at least a couple hundred hours! The script itself was 54 pages long, so I'm glad that people are taking to it.
Gauss and Grendel being bros is awesome. It's such an odd couple as well.
These videos really make what happens during the quests easier to digest. A lot of the side quests especially I lose track of what's actually happening
The dialogue can also be very vague and potentially mean multiple things so I'm glad I can hopefully break things down in a slightly more straight forward way!
I love timezones (it starts at 1am for me)
2 am for me bro
But the lore is worth losing some sleep
I love that you guys are excited! But please make sure to get some sleep!

The best update to this game, and probably a dream to be left forever in my mind, would be to find Umbral bolts for every Warframe, allowing access to a special mini quest and unlocking some bonus for that Warframe (possibly not the Umbra passive of walking around, since that usually causes more problems than it solves).
this is master piece mannn thx for your hardwork tenno
About the Inaros story: there was an event where Alad V wanted to take Mars and experiment on a Warframe he found there. But we could also side with the Grineer in taking Mars to prevent Alad from getting his hands on the Warframe with the trade off being that the Grineer would Exterminate every colony on Mars... And well we sided with the Grineer... And with Inaros not there to protect them, we were kinda responsible for the deaths of Baro's people...
Umbras quest is something else, despite all of the warframes lore and how they become one, umbra shows the true torture that happens, which with the 1999 update and proto frames, is interesting to see how would go forward
The game is a treasure and so are you! Really good lore videos! Love them so much ❤
The real treasure are you guys the lorelings enjoying the content! Thank you for the kind words!
One thing to note about Gara(besides her name, you actually got it right before you corrected yourself, it's pronounced with a long a) is that we know why she's the glass warframe, and it's actually surprisingly wholesome.
Essentially the woman who would become Gara volunteered herself to become a Warframe, knowing the truth. Nihil called for her to be glassed, essentially punishing her "for her presumption". Ballas took all this and used it as inspiration for her design. To honor her sacrifice he "encased her in crystal most fine" i.e. made her into the glass warframe.

I like how Dagath doesn't have a face as a copy. Like we the Tenno, did not look for the original schematics for Dagath, but instead settled on the damaged one. Imagine what power she had before then.
54:34 when i saw it i was like "so metallll lessss goooooo thats what we been wating for my loose canon boi"
I love how for every other frame I had some meme audio or general background noise, but for Umbra I was like "Nah, it's got to be his yell, there's nothing else that can go here."
