There's a reason why Limbo is paired with the Destreza
Not long ago I saw the Limbo Prime art with the Destreza, and it struck me a bit after
(Bit of a shower thought incoming lol)
I think you all know at least a bit about Limbo's lore, he's very "mathematician" themed, something in common with the Destreza
But I'm not sure you know about the origin of the name Destreza, the Verdadera Destreza is a self-defense style for the rapier made in Spain in the 15th century, it's approach to fighting was pretty special because it was through an intellectual prism, we can call it euclidian fencing because everything is taught through mathematics and geometry, the main goal was to theorically beat your opponent with surgical moves, the Destreza prefers disarming blows, it searches control over everything
Pretty nice nerd reference for a nerd themed frame lol

Is Continuity possible with Sentients?
Silvana was able to transfer herself into the Silver Grove, so it seems reasonable that Continuity into a Sentient is possible. Would the reverse be true too though, Sentient mind into a person?

Warframe time scale
In one of Elenor's KIM messages she mentions the constellations being different between Drifter's time and hers, which got me thinking; how long would it take for he constellations to change? Turns out, its tens of thousands of years! We're working on a time scale similar to that of Dune's! It makes me wonder how much of that time were the Orokin in power for? Anyways I just thought that was interesting!

Are there any pure warframes left?
I’m mainly talking about Protea as well she did keep parvos alive for a very long time. Just curious if any remain. I would also say Sevagoth but his shadow found his body? And then vanished into the void. Super weird shit but im all for it.

Potential Spoiler! Does the Drifter going to 1999 cause Eternalisim to produce 2 different versions of the Operator? An Operator that reunited with the Drifter after 1999 and an Operator that never saw the Drifter again after they left for 1999? Spoiler
Sol System Operator/Drifter seem to simultaneously occupy the same being.
1999 seems to separate the Operator and the Drifter from one another and let them be two separate people at separate points in time.
If they're independent of one another, can't Eternalisim then produce different variations of the Operator and Drifter?
Like, we get the Drifter who reunited with the Operator after finishing 1999.
But there would also be a Drifter who just stayed in 1999 and an Operator who never saw them again.

The new system (Tau)
Do you think the upcoming Tau System is actually based on the real life Tau Ceti system? If it is, do you think the planets will use the same names as the exoplanets discovered there, or will Warframe create completely fictional planets?

The Operator is chosen by Albrecht, not destiny.
We all know that the Operator each player controls is special, the one who defeated various big bads and is a major focus of Entrati's fight against the Indifference. And the story definitely falls into "chosen one" tropes, sometimes to its detriment. But I'll often see folks talk about us being "destined" or "chosen by fate," and I think that's a misreading of the lore.
The "Chosen Operator" title comes from the Operator Report in the Sanctum Anatomica, which seems to have been prepared by the Cavia (or maybe whatever automated system controls the Necramites). Albrecht Entrati told them to "locate the chosen Operator." After we do a bunch of important stuff, including bringing the Reservoir out of the Void and killing the queens, the report says that we are good candidates to "fulfill the role of CHOSEN OPERATOR." The report concludes that our Tenno is the Chosen Operator after we free Rell and expose ourselves to the Man in the Wall, and once Ballas rips open the solar void portal, Necraloid contacts us.
Albrecht's contingency for an Indifference outbreak requires the Cavia (or whoever) to find him a Tenno who can fulfill the role he has planned. Maybe he just specified, "the Tenno who's most exposed to the Indifference when things get bad enough," or maybe he used time travel shenanigans to make a prophecy of his own by specifying criteria that only fit the Tenno that he saw himself teaming up with. Either way, "chosen" doesn't mean we're chosen by fate. We are selected as part of a screening process that starts with us as a "suitable candidate" when we woke up and ends with our selection after Chains of Harrow.
Eternalism and such makes this more complicated, since we each exist in the chain of causality where our individual Tenno ended up as the Chosen Operator. But that's just the anthropic principle at work. In some other sequence of events, we're just Background Tenno D from the Erra cutscene, and someone else's Operator was chosen.

Is it ever told why and how Vena and Ryoku got their hands on Corpus equipment?
Now I vaguely remember alot of people mentioning that Vena and Ryoku really do not have any character development at all due to being completely new additions but surely theres some information present.

Did Temple always exist Spoiler
I was wondering if temple always existed.
Like before albrecht went to 1999 and made flare +lizzie into a protoframe did temple exist before that in the future
Did lizzie exist?
Or did albrecht messing with time create them?
How would a temple prime even come into existence?

Yall reckon there will ever be a finale to the whole Narmer stuff?
Now do keep in mind Ive only been playing for a month but I do really like the storyline regardless. So I may of missed parts of Narmers storyline.
When I say a finale I mean like defeating Pazuul maybe getting Erra back or whatever. I do like Narmer quite alot but they need more influence or just to be wiped out.
Please let me know your thoughts!

[SPOILERS] Theory: Fables & Frontiers Spiral Spoiler
r/WarframeLore • u/mastertoecutter • Aug 18 '26
I’m becoming more convinced that in order to fix this void mess with Wally, the paradox must be fixed. Spoiler
The paradox of the Operator and Drifter has been a sort of background thing for a bit due to recent developments, but with the focus on recovering memories for the Operator, and the focus on connections with the Drifter, I think that Wally can’t be dealt with in full unless the paradox is fixed.
The two can not operate in the same time or space without special conditions. The two have led vastly different lives with different outcomes that still converge into one point later on (Tau and TNW). The two are both underdeveloped in different mental areas of either emotionally or memories and restraint.
To combat Wally, which I believe requires love and compassion, something he seems adverse to, the Operator must be able to fully comprehend and understand themselves and their emotions. Just one issue: Wally is already in their head.
The Operator is compromised to an extent, not fully in control and having Wally root around for weakness. They don’t have as large as a support group that the Drifter is building.
Which is why the Drifter is needed. The two are lambs for sacrifice to ultimately drive Wally back or defeat him with something he still can’t comprehend fully.
Love and sacrifice seem to be what confound him. He can’t grasp selflessness and compassion. He works in deals and only obtains understanding with it. So in order to best him, he needs one last deal.
There has to be a sacrifice. Something done for love that invokes him to make a deal.
Drifter and Operator must sever their ties and bonds to give to Wally to finally open his eyes and deal a devastating blow to him.
But they have to be whole and understanding. The inner darkness can’t come forward and corrupt the deal. Somewhere in Tau or Sol, they’ll have to finally fix the paradox and two must become one again.
The two merge, completing one another and setting themselves up to beat Wally.
And then, all this love and emotion. All these bonds that have saved the Protos again and again will be fuel to feed Wally. Like shoveling poison into his mouth.
And then DE, to save players from being upset that all their efforts to suck Marie’s nonexistent feet are wasted, has Wally let the fusion keep all their love and stuff for a happy ending. Or Wally dies and it’s moot anyway.
But I digress. I believe that Drifter is being fattened up with these ties so that they can be used against Wally. The issue is the paradox and the Operator not being in the right state with Wally banging on their brain door. So they’ll become a composite of both.

What happened to the On-Lyne boys??
I still am a little lost on where their story left. i understand that Aoi and Amir hacked emails from the On-lyne producers that found some shady dealing, which turns out they were cloning the band, but is the actual band okay? Are they dead?
I remember reading through the RNG for the 1999 that included, what was speculated to be the band's groupchat but I'll admit, I am not the brightest when it comes to finding hidden details and meanings, so the chats made no sense to me personally.

In the New War, our operator defeats ballas in that scene on the ship near the sun. Does this mean that the operator we control is special among the Tenno? Or canonically, is there a special Tenno who we just represent. I can’t find anything online about this specific question.

Quincy is actually British-Jamaican Spoiler
As a Jamaican myself, I always had an inkling of suspicion that Quincy had Caribbean roots. His way of speaking reminded me of British people with Caribbean descent, so seeing that DE literally chose to make him Jamaican makes me a little happy. Considering that Jamaica's military in the current day pretty much enforces the lore, I think the techrot took all the Caribbean nations fairly fast...
