Tenno's abilities encompass conscious transference and manipulation of the Void within physical or mental realms pretty much manipulating matter, or reality, hence we can phase through stuff and void sling/teleport, void beams are pretty much void radiation. Tenno possess the capability of initiating continuity at will, transferring their consciousness to willing or vacant vessels, such as Warframes. While they inhabit physical bodies, it would be an oversimplification to confine them solely to that form. While some aspects may be speculative, they coalesce into a coherent narrative when examined collectively. Warframes serve as conduits or catalysts, necessary for mitigating the strain of our powers. I appreciate these lore videos keep up the great work g
My theory is that we infact no longer posses bodies rather the snap shot of the look in the moment of the deal while being void bull shat and drifter is dominuses "hero role" for his mental cope given something like reality by the void and dominus is a traped version of us on the zariman via eternalisim
@@kalev_knight I would even say that we don't necessary posses bodies, but posses an idea of having a body - while we are aware of our existence, definite form of it is a product of our mind, hence our ability to appear in multitude of forms, since they are not really physical elements of reality, but our idea of them, And since our idea of our body changes once we use transference, we loose the idea of our appearance or in some cases position to embody another, this time - real/physical being.
@@strgn1360 the idea of our body is the point I was going for with the "snap shot of the look at the moment" since other than drifter we don't see any physical change in operator outside of the cosmetic
@@strgn1360 i think that beats the point of form, when referring to the requiem mods and their names. Jahu Xata and Lohk so on. Form is a fixated point. Although we are form fluid. Form still exists. Warframes are literally 3D printed life forms. Hence you get their parts and build them. Each of them had one form that got built and initialized for continuity. Then they simply was given to the tenno. Form is still as important as void. Because remember we use our powers too much. We lose form and a grasp on reality. And practically lose sentience or meaning. The void is just space. The man in the wall, i still can’t figure out what the maliciousness comes from. Cause it insinuates void is bad. When in reality void, is just everything. Intention determines if something is harmful. Imagine if you tried to extend your consciousness too far, youd lose yourself. I think using void powers works the same. Hence why we can’t just void nuke everything. Cause we quite literally risk not existing anymore. Thats why warframes exist. It’s really top tier lore ngl.
@@kalev_knight I'm aware of your point, but I'm referring more towards "Meta" of things - we can have any appearance, any face, skin tone and voice, just as Cavia is able to possess any colour, just as Lotus able to possess any appearance, for me it's representative of the change that operator, drifter, Lotus and Cavia went through - whatever our forms are, they are not representative of any physical form, rather our idea of it, our belief and desire - we are the operator as long as we believe that we are one, and we are the drifter as long as we believe that we are one, we are led by Lotus/ Margulis/ Natah that appear to keep/change colours of choice after the ending of particular quest. Kahl might be a customisable character, but he refers to his gear only as to his gear, while reacting to changes, but it is not the case with Lotus and us - we change forms in ways beyond just changing gear. We change the essence of our being and leave it into nothingness whenever we embody something that is not us. There is possibility of transference being similar to projection on missions, but that wouldn't explain our ability to connect to our Warframe on Kuva Fortress, nor the fact that we got physically stabbed, therefore the only explanation I can find for our form is that we do not possess a physical presence in reality, rather a physical representation of mental presence, which can take any form. Idea of our presence being mental would be consistent with how The Void functioned so far - plane where ideas gain forms whether their authors want it or not. And they must really want it.
tbh i always theorized that the tenno kids were just void recreations and not simply "given powers." wally effectively killed us but also remade us (like the holdfasts) and sprinkled some void abilities in. Only the drifter is that same person from the Zariman Incident.
Absolutely that's the only thing that made sense. Otherwise you're saying that kids with powers, didn't know how to use them and survived an unknown entity for an unknown period of time. Thank you for watching!!
@@PenOfEvil However, IF that's true then to me it doesn't make sense why a void recreation made by the man in the wall (rell) was able to confine the man in the wall. Plus the whispers in the wall quest suggest that we, the dreamer, somehow managed to break out of the deal.
When the Drifter took the deal with Wally(it was the Drifter, not the Operator that started everything) it created countless versions of the Drifter due to Eternalism(the scene showing the dozens of different versions of your character). These versions became us.. the Operators. The other Tenno children with us were saved by the powers of the Void and as we see with the Cavia anything that's been exposed to the Void gains Void powers, whether they're aware of these powers, whether these power allow them to active control the Void or not, whether the exposure kills them is all up for debate. The kids in the Drifters reality simply disappeared and appeared along with the Zariman in the Origin system, the Operators reality began the moment the Zariman returned to the Origin system(but obv we have the Drifters memory from before). The moment these kids returned the Orokin immediately quarantined them(in cryopods to slow down the exposure killing us, or so they thought as exposure wouldve killed us a long time ago were that possible) and began researching on their powers. This led to Margulis designing the steps for Transference and eventually her standing against the Orokin. These kids didn't survive any amount of time on their own with powers out of their control as they got them the moment Wally saved them along with the Zariman. We can't be killed because we are literally the embodiment of the Void. Void Demons if you will(like Vor).
@@beardedzeus1337 Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but the Drifter rejected the deal, it was the Operator that took it. That's why the Drifter had no powers and was stuck in the void.
In one of the data pads you can find on the Zariman theres a conversation between the Drifter and TMITW where he says "I said I'd save them, not you." The Drifter did take the deal with TMITW but they werent saved. The Drifter is who we would be if we didn't get saved. We are just a version of the Drifter that did get saved because of Eternalism.
The story of the Zariman 10-0 is basically a Warframe twist on The Warp from Warhammer. I always viewed the Warframe dimension known as The Void as just the Warframe version of Space Hell.
"regardless, there was a level of curiosity. There always is a level of curiosity in anything we are interested in. And the story that I'm about to tell you, is one that dwells on the peak of curiosity" F- see me after class
One theory I have had about why only the children ended up making a deal and surviving when pretty much everyone else didn't is because as children, their consciousness is less complex and more predictable and similar. In this case that would imply that there are more versions of the children on the Zariman across all of eternalism that would have taken the deal. All children are simply scared and would want any way out, whereas I think adults would have had more conflict and disagreement and foreseen more nuance about such a deal across their multiple versions. Therefore, I think of the man in the wall as really collapsing all of the externalism versions of something into one thing, and in the case of the Tenno, this made them stronger because all of their disparate versions were more similar than not and therefore compatible. The madness of the adults could therefore be explained as all of their externalism versions, once being collapsed, essentially "not getting along" leaving only the common elements intact, aka, ape brain violence shenanigans.
🫢 wait that makes a lotta sense!! Madness by proxy of other deals being made. The idea of multiple mindsets collapsing into one another would definitely cause madness in theory. The only problem is that madness seems a bit too controlled to me.
This could be the case but I don't think it's true because our realities only got collapsed upon accepting the deal. Maybe the adults saw visions of their other selfs or somehow got conscious of them to a degree but I don't think a true collapse happened
@strateks9611 he said in the video that he distanced himself from them go read the comics they cast him away It's only afterwards he took it upon himself to actively protect them
@@PenOfEvilRell literally calls you out in the quest while simultaneously defending himself, pushing the blame of his possession onto you. It's pretty specific.
@@WhenDevilsDuel Not only that but Palladino specifically says he was cast out for being different (aka autistic) in a very early scene of the quest. So yeah, super specific.
Considering i just unlocked the zariman recently this helps me alot im a switch user which i know switch has bad connection but im to poor for other consoles or pc but i have fun with my friends im still learning alot lore wise and this channel is helping me.

This was very well made! I don't absorb story plots while doing quests, since I only absorb necessary info while learning something new so the lore flies over my head. After this vid I got the whole picture now, thank you!!!
the question i've always wanted an answer to is "canonically , how many Tenno are out there ?" so far , we know about the Tenno operative that raids ships on Survival missions , there's the playable character (us) ... just two ???
It's possible that tenno operative isn't a tenno themselves, but rather an agent of the tenno who works with us, simliar to the people we recuse in rescue missions (I say this as those agents all bare lotus symbols, which are obviously assosicated with the tenno
@@scorpiowarrior7841 that’s trueeee also , if i’m not mistaken too , some of the Parvos Sisters’ dialogue mentions how they are pretty good at killing Tenno . but now that this could mean people that associate themselves with the Tenno as well , the answer seems more convoluted . because if canonically there are as many Tenno as there are players in the game . it makes the Tenno look really really week . like enough of us for the worlds biggest army and we haven’t won the war ? we might as well be another Grineer grunt then . so because of how noticeable you are to all the NPC’s in the game , i imagine there’s only a few of us at most , with accolades that precedes our reputations . 💭
@juniornxumalo3225 it wouldn't make us look super weak tbh. The grinner, corpus, and infested are borderline endless at this point. The grinner can endlessly grow new soldiers, the corpus are primarily robots, and the infestation is...a zombie faction.
The Tenno who helped defeat Erra showed there was at least 6. The new war we are directly told all kids except Drifter were rescued. The Zariman being a giant colony ship with a sizeable amount of classrooms suggests minimum 4 digits of kids, most likely 5. But it's a video game after all, there were enough kids for there to be 1 per player.
So I couldn't enjoy the new war as my ps4 was dying and over heating so I skipped most of the cutscenes with the tenno. I've been debating going back to see what I missed and you just convinced me. Bravo tenno you are truly amazing
If that were a raid it’d have to include railjack and archwing sections of the boss fight and crazy ass platforming challenges for frames while fighting. That actually sounds amazing.
I hope not. The man in the wall is a literary device not a final boss and the best parts of him are the parts at don't and can't know. The more we know about the man in the wall the worse Warframes story gets.
You need to explore the concept/theory of parachronic time; in that theory there is an eternal "point/place" [eg the Void] and multipul time lines exist aranged around this eternal un-place/central place [like the petals of the Lotus].
i think you need to find the zariman tablets around duviri where the man in the wall (mores specifically the conceptual embodiment of the man in the wall created by albreacht when he visted duviri) that explains undefined lore to the player with pointed questions and rewritten options. resources were not an issue in any way.
I don't understand what you mean. What resources? Albrecht shouldn't have been able to go to duviri in our timeline at least. The person manipulating the tablets is just Tmitw.
The backstory to Exalted might provide an interesting way of viewing the Indifference, as if you're correct it would make the Man In The Wall either a Primordial-equivalent or one of the big Fae overminds. I leave researching that whacky funhouse mirror unreality to you, though.
To me its more like the man in the wall keeps you well "alive"or something since he mentions a deal with in whisper. Like its I can keep you alive no matter what, but i just need a small favour from you in return
You guys are forgetting somethimg, we saw on lua it was several tenno under lotus control killing Erra, but only we are the special that always win. Thats why ballas sent us to the void.
you know this kind of explain how the tenno have powers ...i dont think the tenno have a physical body like ordinary humans but something like a ghost just with extra things ...and i think the drifter is truly physical hence the lack of void powers but maybe was kept safe in the void but coming to contact with the tenno self they can now link hence switch places ..my random thoughts i think i m on to something
@@PenOfEvil no the tennos powers are conscious transference and void manipulation within matter or mental scope. tenno can perform continuity on demand, on willing or empty vessels. such as warframes. they have a physical body, but to say they are restricted to it is the stretch. theres some speculative stuff but it makes sense when you piece things together. we need warframes because we cant handle the strain of our powers without a conduit or catalyst. i love these lore vids keep it up!
I dont think the Drifter part is entirely correct for one reason: the Sirocco. It runs on Void energy and since the Drifter can use it outside the Void it has to be getting its energy from somewhere or rather someone. The Drifter did say, its not that they don't have "Void fury" it's more like they havent gotten it yet. Which I think means that unlike little Tenno who spent many years honing their Void powers, the Drifter spent arguably longer either suppressing them or channelling them into Duviri.
this could be also kinda how is the real life.Maybe thats why we have deja vous(memories from others you),and maybe,thats what anti matter is(man in the wall).Void=space and so on,so forth.
All of you are so hooked on "borderline magical abilities", but miss the gold that is "they also may have had bathrooms, considering the level of technology here"
Thanks for handling the broom pal, but I'm not sure how to start with the resulting mess😅 Pretty good understanding and collecting for this big puzzle called warframe, I think you just started me back to the game 😂
Since in the cavia's quest the doppelganger says that they'll take our sun and that void creation need a light, I mean I hate scenarios where they remove a character then pu tit back only to kill itr for good, so if we thn k of it that way, there is a theory that states > and I'm starting to believe it...despite the fact that we literally saved her
What I've seen after playing new war, the YOU who was brought back was not the original you, you died by the hands of balas, and the drifter escaped the duviri for some other reason, and somehow pulled a different you to take over your place after your death
"Drifter escaped the duviri for some other reason." We are directly told that it was a childrens story book made manifest by conceptual embodiment. Originally meant as something while the kids waited. The problem happened when a reset happened and the Drifter legitimately forgot they were in a story book. They were then trapped in the story book world until Natah/Lotus hand came down and helped break the Drifter free from the cycle. It's why the end of the quest is Drifter sitting on the throne and reinstalling Dominous Thrax as the king, in the process reviving Teshin. Now they know it's a story book it can go back to functioning how it was designed. As for "the original you" that ceased to be 1000 years before the new war. A decision was made, you were rescued or you were not rescued. The game directly tells us the split was being rescued or not. That decision with 2 outcomes meant the Operator was assigned one and the Drifter was assigned the other. Same person, 2 individuals. Inside the void they can exist together, outside the void they can only exist in their original timeline. It's why only one can exist at any point in time, the assigned outcome was changed. Both Op and Drift were rescued, the main difference is time and what happened between the first rescue and the rescue 1000 years later. Ballas saying "you can't kill the devil" is more literal than most people realise. We're referred to as angel/demon/some form of light by all who know of the Tenno. While there is a physical body, any fatal damage is made null and we are restored by void magic. Ballas did banish the Operator, the Drifter helped out (most likely with some help from Man in the wall) and eventually the Operator was unbanished and the Drifters timeline was changed.
Does this broom have an alternate firing mode? Loved this, and the attention to details in the timeline of the Zariman events is both sauce and quality.
Basketball? Isn't it more like that game with the slings? Heck the lunaro slings even look like the one my friend had. I don't remember what it was called but they used soft plastic balls and wore basically rugby equipment.
@@williamemami3507 kinda but like with these scoop like things like the ones they use in Jai Alai. And the goal is way smaller, there's also no goal keeper and the players full tackle each other if needed. The field also doesn't really have a set size since the goal thingy is portable. It seems to have disappeared but I remember a lot of people playing it when I was a kid.
I think this is a very good video. I'd like to suggest that you change the title and thumbnail to avoid spoilers for people who get this video in their "recommended" feed, since it won't just be people who have finished the Warframe story quests.
Just to point it out SPOILER ALERT; Everyone on the Zariman doesn't actually die canonically this is just a theory and should be treated as such. There are actually spoilers in the video but other than that the thumbnail is in fact NOT a spoiler.
@PenOfEvil Doesn't Archimedean or however her name is spelled of the Steadfasts say that they have all already died? She mentioned specifically that they're already dead but still alive somehow and she grew distressed then changed the subject.
"Reality is a facet of a great block, it is *relative*, and we can change the frame." I don't think us as the player can anymore, not after the new war. I think all of the facets were wiped out but 2, which merged into 1 after the new war. Meaning we don't exist in the multiverse anymore, only 1 version of the universe, the one where we made the deal. All other versions of us in the multiverse are dead, so if we as the player die, we truly die, nothing in the multiverse can revive us.
Gameplay doesn't match that, tenno still can't die, probs cuz Wally needs us still or we started exerting our own authority over void we don't fully know, "you can't kill a tenno devil, but you can send it back to hell"
Yes I believe this is true and i believe this is part of why loid says that the next thing we are doing is going back in time and fixing our broken timeline. It's not just Albrecht's mistakes, it's our own too.
The Man In The Wall specifically says that he'll save ' All of them' but he leaves the Drifter in the Zariman because 'all of them' didnt include the Drifter. So, multiple versions of the Operator made the deal. This is reinforced by the animation when the deal is made. Multiple versions of the Operator appear to be making the same deal. Man In The Wall is sadistic, so he could've left one child in the Zariman Ten Zero to see what happened. What happened was Duviri. If you remember the Umbra Quest, the Operator has a specific animation if Umbra kills them. They close their eyes when they're killed, pass through the Void, and open them to being alive once more. It's not a go back to the past objective restart. It's a restart from the moment they originally died. This isnt awakening in a new world because this is the exact same world. You're the specific you in your individualized world. The Zariman in game has different possibilities. The Holdfast dialogue explains that the children murdered the adults after gaining Void abilities. There's no comment on the children reviving like the Holdfasts, so the original children could have been saved and then the ship sent back into the Void as a method of dispoal. After being sent into the Void, the Zariman went from normal reality into Wallys reality. He could then create the Holdfasts because the ship was in his 'posession'. The Ember Prime lore says that children should've never been on the ship. Other lore describes a ruinied Zariman and a perfect conditon Zariman. So, the Orokin either made a decoy or the Void was influencing the ship. In any case, we don't know whose specific Zariman it is.

@@kalev_knight I'm aware of your point, but I'm referring more towards "Meta" of things - we can have any appearance, any face, skin tone and voice, just as Cavia is able to possess any colour, just as Lotus able to possess any appearance, for me it's representative of the change that operator, drifter, Lotus and Cavia went through - whatever our forms are, they are not representative of any physical form, rather our idea of it, our belief and desire - we are the operator as long as we believe that we are one, and we are the drifter as long as we believe that we are one, we are led by Lotus/ Margulis/ Natah that appear to keep/change colours of choice after the ending of particular quest.
Kahl might be a customisable character, but he refers to his gear only as to his gear, while reacting to changes, but it is not the case with Lotus and us - we change forms in ways beyond just changing gear. We change the essence of our being and leave it into nothingness whenever we embody something that is not us.
There is possibility of transference being similar to projection on missions, but that wouldn't explain our ability to connect to our Warframe on Kuva Fortress, nor the fact that we got physically stabbed, therefore the only explanation I can find for our form is that we do not possess a physical presence in reality, rather a physical representation of mental presence, which can take any form.
Idea of our presence being mental would be consistent with how The Void functioned so far - plane where ideas gain forms whether their authors want it or not. And they must really want it.

tbh i always theorized that the tenno kids were just void recreations and not simply "given powers." wally effectively killed us but also remade us (like the holdfasts) and sprinkled some void abilities in. Only the drifter is that same person from the Zariman Incident.
Absolutely that's the only thing that made sense. Otherwise you're saying that kids with powers, didn't know how to use them and survived an unknown entity for an unknown period of time. Thank you for watching!!
@@PenOfEvil However, IF that's true then to me it doesn't make sense why a void recreation made by the man in the wall (rell) was able to confine the man in the wall. Plus the whispers in the wall quest suggest that we, the dreamer, somehow managed to break out of the deal.
When the Drifter took the deal with Wally(it was the Drifter, not the Operator that started everything) it created countless versions of the Drifter due to Eternalism(the scene showing the dozens of different versions of your character). These versions became us.. the Operators. The other Tenno children with us were saved by the powers of the Void and as we see with the Cavia anything that's been exposed to the Void gains Void powers, whether they're aware of these powers, whether these power allow them to active control the Void or not, whether the exposure kills them is all up for debate.
The kids in the Drifters reality simply disappeared and appeared along with the Zariman in the Origin system, the Operators reality began the moment the Zariman returned to the Origin system(but obv we have the Drifters memory from before).
The moment these kids returned the Orokin immediately quarantined them(in cryopods to slow down the exposure killing us, or so they thought as exposure wouldve killed us a long time ago were that possible) and began researching on their powers. This led to Margulis designing the steps for Transference and eventually her standing against the Orokin. These kids didn't survive any amount of time on their own with powers out of their control as they got them the moment Wally saved them along with the Zariman. We can't be killed because we are literally the embodiment of the Void. Void Demons if you will(like Vor).
@@beardedzeus1337I liked this
@@beardedzeus1337 Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but the Drifter rejected the deal, it was the Operator that took it. That's why the Drifter had no powers and was stuck in the void.

In one of the data pads you can find on the Zariman theres a conversation between the Drifter and TMITW where he says "I said I'd save them, not you."
The Drifter did take the deal with TMITW but they werent saved. The Drifter is who we would be if we didn't get saved. We are just a version of the Drifter that did get saved because of Eternalism.
That's a rabbit hole in itself.

The story of the Zariman 10-0 is basically a Warframe twist on The Warp from Warhammer. I always viewed the Warframe dimension known as The Void as just the Warframe version of Space Hell.
It definitely is the warp in a way, though the warp is a lot more malevolent in my opinion
@PenOfEvil The Warp isn't inherently malevolent. It was changed to the state it's currently in due to the War in Heaven, iirc.
@@chrisdufresne9359 Hm in that case I agree, I haven't sharpened my Warhammer knowledge enough to fully understand it. So you may know better than me.

I don't ever plan on stopping🫡 Thank you!!
Good job on the video. I appreciate the attempt and gave me clarity on some theories about the void.
I'm glad I could help!
One theory I have had about why only the children ended up making a deal and surviving when pretty much everyone else didn't is because as children, their consciousness is less complex and more predictable and similar. In this case that would imply that there are more versions of the children on the Zariman across all of eternalism that would have taken the deal. All children are simply scared and would want any way out, whereas I think adults would have had more conflict and disagreement and foreseen more nuance about such a deal across their multiple versions. Therefore, I think of the man in the wall as really collapsing all of the externalism versions of something into one thing, and in the case of the Tenno, this made them stronger because all of their disparate versions were more similar than not and therefore compatible. The madness of the adults could therefore be explained as all of their externalism versions, once being collapsed, essentially "not getting along" leaving only the common elements intact, aka, ape brain violence shenanigans.
🫢 wait that makes a lotta sense!! Madness by proxy of other deals being made. The idea of multiple mindsets collapsing into one another would definitely cause madness in theory. The only problem is that madness seems a bit too controlled to me.
This could be the case but I don't think it's true because our realities only got collapsed upon accepting the deal. Maybe the adults saw visions of their other selfs or somehow got conscious of them to a degree but I don't think a true collapse happened
Rell was cast out by the others he didnt leave to protect them
he was still protecting us from the man in the wall.
@strateks9611 he said in the video that he distanced himself from them go read the comics they cast him away
It's only afterwards he took it upon himself to actively protect them
Kinda, its not really specified.
@@PenOfEvilRell literally calls you out in the quest while simultaneously defending himself, pushing the blame of his possession onto you. It's pretty specific.
@@WhenDevilsDuel Not only that but Palladino specifically says he was cast out for being different (aka autistic) in a very early scene of the quest. So yeah, super specific.

Bro, I can’t wait to see your videos hitting 100K you deserve
🥹 Thank you!
the question i've always wanted an answer to is "canonically , how many Tenno are out there ?" so far , we know about the Tenno operative that raids ships on Survival missions , there's the playable character (us) ... just two ???
Ooooo good question I see what you're saying, so maybe the two.
It's possible that tenno operative isn't a tenno themselves, but rather an agent of the tenno who works with us, simliar to the people we recuse in rescue missions (I say this as those agents all bare lotus symbols, which are obviously assosicated with the tenno
@@scorpiowarrior7841 that’s trueeee
also , if i’m not mistaken too , some of the Parvos Sisters’ dialogue mentions how they are pretty good at killing Tenno . but now that this could mean people that associate themselves with the Tenno as well , the answer seems more convoluted .
because if canonically there are as many Tenno as there are players in the game . it makes the Tenno look really really week . like enough of us for the worlds biggest army and we haven’t won the war ? we might as well be another Grineer grunt then . so because of how noticeable you are to all the NPC’s in the game , i imagine there’s only a few of us at most , with accolades that precedes our reputations . 💭
@juniornxumalo3225 it wouldn't make us look super weak tbh. The grinner, corpus, and infested are borderline endless at this point. The grinner can endlessly grow new soldiers, the corpus are primarily robots, and the infestation is...a zombie faction.
The Tenno who helped defeat Erra showed there was at least 6. The new war we are directly told all kids except Drifter were rescued. The Zariman being a giant colony ship with a sizeable amount of classrooms suggests minimum 4 digits of kids, most likely 5. But it's a video game after all, there were enough kids for there to be 1 per player.

I hope not. The man in the wall is a literary device not a final boss and the best parts of him are the parts at don't and can't know. The more we know about the man in the wall the worse Warframes story gets.

you know this kind of explain how the tenno have powers ...i dont think the tenno have a physical body like ordinary humans but something like a ghost just with extra things ...and i think the drifter is truly physical hence the lack of void powers but maybe was kept safe in the void but coming to contact with the tenno self they can now link hence switch places ..my random thoughts i think i m on to something
Maybe, there are a few holes in my theory but it's truly difficult to try and fill them all.
@@PenOfEvil no the tennos powers are conscious transference and void manipulation within matter or mental scope. tenno can perform continuity on demand, on willing or empty vessels. such as warframes. they have a physical body, but to say they are restricted to it is the stretch. theres some speculative stuff but it makes sense when you piece things together. we need warframes because we cant handle the strain of our powers without a conduit or catalyst. i love these lore vids keep it up!
I dont think the Drifter part is entirely correct for one reason: the Sirocco. It runs on Void energy and since the Drifter can use it outside the Void it has to be getting its energy from somewhere or rather someone.
The Drifter did say, its not that they don't have "Void fury" it's more like they havent gotten it yet. Which I think means that unlike little Tenno who spent many years honing their Void powers, the Drifter spent arguably longer either suppressing them or channelling them into Duviri.
@@Hellothere-ss4jqthe drifter didnt know about void stuff void stuff is basically matter it exists everywhere. So it can fuel everything.
this could be also kinda how is the real life.Maybe thats why we have deja vous(memories from others you),and maybe,thats what anti matter is(man in the wall).Void=space and so on,so forth.

Thank you!! I am humbled. 🙏
Since in the cavia's quest the doppelganger says that they'll take our sun and that void creation need a light, I mean I hate scenarios where they remove a character then pu tit back only to kill itr for good, so if we thn k of it that way, there is a theory that states > and I'm starting to believe it...despite the fact that we literally saved her
What I've seen after playing new war, the YOU who was brought back was not the original you, you died by the hands of balas, and the drifter escaped the duviri for some other reason, and somehow pulled a different you to take over your place after your death
That's a video in itself lol
"Drifter escaped the duviri for some other reason."
We are directly told that it was a childrens story book made manifest by conceptual embodiment. Originally meant as something while the kids waited. The problem happened when a reset happened and the Drifter legitimately forgot they were in a story book. They were then trapped in the story book world until Natah/Lotus hand came down and helped break the Drifter free from the cycle.
It's why the end of the quest is Drifter sitting on the throne and reinstalling Dominous Thrax as the king, in the process reviving Teshin. Now they know it's a story book it can go back to functioning how it was designed.
As for "the original you" that ceased to be 1000 years before the new war. A decision was made, you were rescued or you were not rescued. The game directly tells us the split was being rescued or not.
That decision with 2 outcomes meant the Operator was assigned one and the Drifter was assigned the other. Same person, 2 individuals. Inside the void they can exist together, outside the void they can only exist in their original timeline. It's why only one can exist at any point in time, the assigned outcome was changed. Both Op and Drift were rescued, the main difference is time and what happened between the first rescue and the rescue 1000 years later.
Ballas saying "you can't kill the devil" is more literal than most people realise. We're referred to as angel/demon/some form of light by all who know of the Tenno. While there is a physical body, any fatal damage is made null and we are restored by void magic. Ballas did banish the Operator, the Drifter helped out (most likely with some help from Man in the wall) and eventually the Operator was unbanished and the Drifters timeline was changed.

I think this is a very good video. I'd like to suggest that you change the title and thumbnail to avoid spoilers for people who get this video in their "recommended" feed, since it won't just be people who have finished the Warframe story quests.
Just to point it out SPOILER ALERT;
Everyone on the Zariman doesn't actually die canonically this is just a theory and should be treated as such. There are actually spoilers in the video but other than that the thumbnail is in fact NOT a spoiler.
@PenOfEvil Doesn't Archimedean or however her name is spelled of the Steadfasts say that they have all already died? She mentioned specifically that they're already dead but still alive somehow and she grew distressed then changed the subject.
"borderline magical abilities" LMAO *takes off my trench coat and turns it into a dragon*
Chroma!!
No wonder why we killed the orokin
😂
"Reality is a facet of a great block, it is *relative*, and we can change the frame." I don't think us as the player can anymore, not after the new war. I think all of the facets were wiped out but 2, which merged into 1 after the new war.
Meaning we don't exist in the multiverse anymore, only 1 version of the universe, the one where we made the deal. All other versions of us in the multiverse are dead, so if we as the player die, we truly die, nothing in the multiverse can revive us.
Gameplay doesn't match that, tenno still can't die, probs cuz Wally needs us still or we started exerting our own authority over void we don't fully know, "you can't kill a tenno devil, but you can send it back to hell"
Also externalism, shitty thing to just throw out there, but there will always be multiverse shenanigans in this now
Yes I believe this is true and i believe this is part of why loid says that the next thing we are doing is going back in time and fixing our broken timeline. It's not just Albrecht's mistakes, it's our own too.
Technically yes and no, I don't believe we can die. At least by normal means.
The Man In The Wall specifically says that he'll save ' All of them' but he leaves the Drifter in the Zariman because 'all of them' didnt include the Drifter. So, multiple versions of the Operator made the deal. This is reinforced by the animation when the deal is made. Multiple versions of the Operator appear to be making the same deal. Man In The Wall is sadistic, so he could've left one child in the Zariman Ten Zero to see what happened. What happened was Duviri.
If you remember the Umbra Quest, the Operator has a specific animation if Umbra kills them. They close their eyes when they're killed, pass through the Void, and open them to being alive once more. It's not a go back to the past objective restart. It's a restart from the moment they originally died.
This isnt awakening in a new world because this is the exact same world. You're the specific you in your individualized world.
The Zariman in game has different possibilities.
The Holdfast dialogue explains that the children murdered the adults after gaining Void abilities. There's no comment on the children reviving like the Holdfasts, so the original children could have been saved and then the ship sent back into the Void as a method of dispoal. After being sent into the Void, the Zariman went from normal reality into Wallys reality. He could then create the Holdfasts because the ship was in his 'posession'.
The Ember Prime lore says that children should've never been on the ship. Other lore describes a ruinied Zariman and a perfect conditon Zariman. So, the Orokin either made a decoy or the Void was influencing the ship.
In any case, we don't know whose specific Zariman it is.
Indeed this Zariman possibly isn't the original. 🤔
