Loreframe: The Sentients 

NEW CANON ALERT: the sentients gained perspective in Tau and realised what the Orokin would do to it, as they did to Earth. As such, they decided that for the good of the universe, they should kill their creators.

Personally I think the Orokin had a kneejerk reaction to finding out the Sentients had become sentient, and basically wanted to recycle them. Hunhow says something along the lines of "you would work with these beings, who would make weapons of our bones?" to Lotus regarding the "Orokin named Alad V". For all intents and purposes there's no real reason they would want to come back to the origin system to destroy humanity, as the Tau system is supposedly a paradise compared to homebase, unless the Orokin did something to really, *really* piss them off. Also, gender stereotypes for Sentients went out the window when Hunhow said "my womb" lmao.

Eidolon- //Edit circa SIX YEARS LATER (Feb 2024) Plains are named after 'Eidolon' because they're literally a 'Plains of the Dead' (for Sentients). Eidolons are 'undead' Sentients; bound together by energy and either latent programming or the equivalent of a will to live. Other fledged Sentients can try to revive them, or Archons can donate their Shards to more quickly restore them to stability (as we do with Natah).

Eververse roast was on point 👍

I have an idea Why dont we just call the unamed dead sentient on Earth, Eidolon? All of it's fragments are called eidolon

Still watching his vids years later

Lotus being an amalgam of Natah and Margulis (either 2 "souls" in one body, 2 mixed souls in one body, or the chair + body etc) has been my theory for a long long time now, how exactly Margulis went from executed to part of Lotus is an interesting missing bit, but I imagine Hunhow only wanted to give Natah Margulis' appearance and enough of the personality to fool the tenno but got almost all of her if not all of her into Natah by mistake, or Margulis "took over" the amalgam more than intended etc. Maybe the sentients swapped Margulis with a fake before the execution? Who knows.

The way you edit and direct your lore videos is always fun.

Thoroughly enjoyed the video, very concise and informative yet funny and entertaining at the same time. I loved all the names you used for the characters (Marge, Terry, Gary, Ect.)

2:22 LOOK BROTHERS!!!

Hey dude. Just discovered your channel, great stuff. It's nice to have good lore vids that aren't by DKvoiceandmethodofspeechmakesmewanttokillmyself. Your actual video quality and edits themselves are really excellent too!

A prometheus-esque living sentient spaceship tileset? A W E S O M E

I have recently came up with a theory that the lines by Balass in the Sacrifice teaser was directed at Natah to save all the sentients, all she had to do was sacrifice her body for the Margulis who we hear on death bed by using trasferance. This also offer posibility that just like Rell she is suffering from memory loss. Also a quote from wiki "The umbra (Latin for "shadow") is the innermost and darkest part of a shadow, where the light source is completely blocked by the occluding body." and the name Hunhow used for stalker in the second Dream quest waaaass... jup "Shadow". Edit: If the offer was to Natta it could be pausible that Lotus used the teleport on your orbiter to save you, but was not able to help since Stalker locked the door, so Margulis subconsciously used transferance to take temporary controll over your warframe when it was free from your influence during the quest.

Lol Harry and Gary coming to help their little brother Terry XD

You sound a little bit like ordis.

It's June 2019 there new Sentinent quest. Even in 2018 your lore pretty much covered it all. Now I know more about them.

Soon TM

I never knew this channel existed. My life has been a lie! Gonna binge the rest of your videos!

YESSSS. MY FAVOURITE RACE IN WARFRAME GETS A VIDEOOOO! Thank you so much Xayl!

I love your cinematography for this series!

another amazing video as always

Here's to hoping for some scorn-looking sentient tilesets. I just can't get enough of that disgustingly biomechanical aesthetic.

and now we have the chimera prologue and both his theorys on if natah is margulis and why the sentients rebeled is out the window

Your videos are amazing, You're attention to detail appreciated and style swaggerly. Good day sir

I love hearing lore from you

Honestly never seen such a good looking fashion frame for Excalibur before props to you m8

"To face the sentiments in full." Tennocon 2019: Hold my new war

Digital Extremes REALLY Needs to work their Lore Development.

Wouldnt it be cool to have a Sentient Style Station where there are Friendly Sentients like we have Friendly Corpus, Grineer or the occasional Orokin. (And other Folks ofcause). I wonder how a friendly sentient would behave ... i mean they arent humans so its likely they may or maynot have a large collection of Ancient stuff ... and willing to sell them for other stuff like ... i dunno ... Orokin Tech Modules?

This channel needs more subs. You deserve to be rich for how great this content is.

I’m hella jealous of that excal prime

Also have anyone else thought about that Ballas his blood is umm Kuva? And Natah took his dying or already dead body?

You would think that the Orokin would have exploited the Sentients' weakness to ths void sooner, possibly by developing void-based weapons instead of resorting to the Tenno

3:14 lotus really went full order 66 on them that’s my favorite meme of all warframe

Funny that you were kinda right with Ballas being insane And trying to hold to any image of Margulis he could find.

Omg i love the funny way you explain the lore. Truly awesome!

Lotus: Iam not who do you think iam. Ballas: But ofcourse you are ........... as she was.

I'm pretty sure the sentients want revenge. The Orokin sent them thru the void which pretty much damned their "race".

Its finally here! Xayl thank you for your blessing!!!! Took too long for you to make a vid tho, was hella hooked for some time

Informative, amusing, and presented quite well. Instant sub.

I love how killing these bastards is hard ingame. Until you get Ballas sword, they were the ultimate enemy for the Orokin. Beautiful freaking lore.

4:28 *New war has entered the chat*

I would like to say it might be worth a re-look at this now that the ERRA quest introducing the new sentient ERRA, Natah's brother, and the Ropalolyst mission from the Jovian concord update has some more lore drops from Natah which give more clarity on the speculation you had a year ago

Or this : Margulis gets executed-> old war starts-> Hunhow send his daughter Natah a sentient mimic to destroy the Orokin empire within-> Natah takes the from of Margulis to look like the Orokin but with a helmet and scarf so they won’t think it’s a her dead body-> lotus defects from the sentients-> stays in the lotus form. Meaning Margulis is dead her corpse is six feet under the ground. Natah looks like her because she is a sentient mimic and stayed in her form. So the lotus is just Natah just mimicking the body of Margulis

i thought that the sentient were pissed abut the whole no more reproduction thing

3:00 Is this actually canon? I'm currently up to the Apostasy Prologue, but I don't recall any actual information on how Natah infiltrated the Orokin.

balas plans to bring back the sentients on the plains

bite size ideas 1. Sentients - first itteration and discovery of kuva (regeneration ability ---> immortality) 2. Veil speeker probably asums they are not the same since they probably look different, if we saume margulis is using transferance 3. Hunhow tryed using his rezerves of kuva to corrupt and transfer in a cephelons "body", just like the old queen tyed to use kuva on tenno 4. Teshen is kuva addict and fallowas who ever can give him more kuva/continiu his immortality 5. the tower at Cetus is a supersized kuva siphon

YES MOAR LOAR

isnt the sentients created by the orokin to fine a new earth but deduced that ths orokin will inevitably destroy this new place so the sentients rebel. then wf are created to battle the sentients but the orokin failed to control the wf.

Vay hek is the true mastermind of it all!

3:47 wait is that why the Eidolon roams the plains?! they’re looking for kuva from the tower in front of Cetus?

And now we have mimics

YES! Finally another fantastic video!

Space mom is forever I hope

Rokkin narration!! Lots of fun!

Excalibur prime making you look like a god

Eronius Drivel. You’ve earned my heart. And my sub.

terminator warframe edition

As Sacrifice and Chimera came out well after this video, it's worth noting we have additional hints to that Ballas betrayed the Orokin, and had planned it for a LONG time, even before the Tenno and the Warframes were created, even before Margulis was executed. I'm still a bit confused on the timing of it all, because if that's the case, WHY did he want to betray them, if it wasn't originally Margulis' death? Either way, it seems Ballas was behind it all, intentionally hiding things from the rest of the Orokin. He may even have done something to preserve Margulis' body or consciousness or something. After all, supposedly, Orokin get reborn into new bodies and never really die, based on what we learned from War Within and from Ordis' story in the Codex fragments. Still don't know how the Lotus ended up being connected to all the Tenno through that random throne and her weirdo hat, but again... that was probably all Ballas. I'm thinking after Chimera that he'd tried to cut a deal with the Sentients to "bring Margulis back" or even just providing her with a body, something to that extent, in return for helping them take down his fellow Orokin by sabotaging the Tenno, and maybe he'd been convinced that Natah IS Margulis... and now his eyes are open to the truth of what they meant, that Natah isn't really Margulis, and he only now regrets his deal after losing his humanity and becoming part Sentient. Talk about hindsight, but hey, at least we have a cool Sentient-slaying sword now. I'm really looking forward to the next cinematic quest, which will hopefully answer some questions, while also providing even more questions in DE's slow attempt to drive us all mad.

ptsss don't search "StallordD" it's not like it's a totally underrated lore RU-vid channel about Warframe and the OST of the game yes there it is more stuff but mostly Warframe lore and music Nice vid tho :P

Man, there's so many fascinating possibilities for the lore, but they're just taking their very, ve r y , v e r y sweet time with this

coming back post sacrifice. Ballas says that the sentients turned on the orokin because they knew that even if they did colonize this new world, the orokin would bring ruin to it eventually just like they did earth.

After the sacrifice: Coukd it be possible that the mimics are parts of Natah (this could explain howbshe 'mimicked' Margulis' form) Still not entirely certain about the Apostasy prologue And yaaay we already have the larger Eidolons. Yet still no name. Maybe mask of the Revenant will reveal more.

Something to think about What if rell was stalker instead of harrow? Lotus says stalker was drawn mad and rell was mad.

This is AMAZING, You need to make more-MORE.

oedipus complex in full swing

Some ppl think the sentients saw what the orokin did to tau and decided if they got to tau the orokin would ruin tau too so the sentients would just wipe them out.

on "UrAnus" i knew someone else must have got that joke! i though i was the only one who found that kinda funny

Ah, that Hitchhikers reference!!! The Vogons are terrible!!

The orokin couldn't make shit without it trying to kill them

Is anybody else questioning how the hell do he have that frame

2:20 personally, my best guess is that they used basic pattern recognition when they figured out how every OTHER creation of the Orokin was treated.

Ballas also knew she was different cause of the line ‘just as she was’ He just love her so much he came for lotus

Maybe lotus is just the lotus... shaped helmet? Sentients are robots after all.

Would be fun as hell if they reformed the Eidolon in the New War and there was a big chunky war to fight, seeing as railjack will be out by then.

Meet the fragments Terry Barry and Harry

Love your videos! Keep it up!

Sentient ship tileset?! Bring it on :) I don't think I wanna go toe-to-toe with Gary and Harry solo, not if there bigger and stronger than Terry. He's bad enough to solo lol

So the sentients are basically the skynet of warframe

I can't wait till the next cinematic quest because the sacrifice raised more question than it answered I hope soon they make a 2 hour quest

Interesting concept that Natah didn't infact have a change of heart but was infact captured and used as a new body to essentially hide Margulis

The sentients knew that the Orokin trashed the origin system, and wished to prevent this from happening to the tau system

that bungee shade tho

6:05 we know that the way the put people to death was by blowing them up or some weird shit

Just re-wached your Chains of harrow content and came up with a theory that the void/void damage is dengerous to the kuva within the sentients and not sentients directly. It maybe drains kuva from their bodys. With that in mind and knowing that Orokin use kuva to poses other bodys, I theorize that the adult bodys on Zariman 10-0, got clenzed of all kuva in their bodys therefor casting the Orokin out of the host bodys. The original body owners or whats left of them went on a revane murder spree also explains why the children were not effected, exept harnesing the absorbed void energy. Further more the cast out orokin are probably the man in the wall and were trying to poses the children but failing since there were no kuva in their bodys. The only question to answer is what is kuva and what does it exatly does? After a google search in wiki it comes up as synonim for "shadow/reflection"... hmmmmmmmm. Edit: Teshen on the montain sead that kuva grants immortality, it probably needs to periodicaly consumed to stay immortal in the case of Teshen since he is probably older then Rell was, but he is still kicking. And perhaps Orokin lose their povers if they use it that way, as we could see the older queen in "War within" used her staff to focus her power in a similar beam to tenno.

7:07 is there a transliteration of this weird loading screen you get it randomly? I rarely see it anymore the past few month now. Where can I read up about it?

Man we miss ya Xayl. You should cover other lore topics in different franchises.

dude we attacked them the tenno were there she says are last thoughts are with us thats probably ere we snapped and attack them

Just discovered your channel just now. Subscribed.

LOTUS WILL BE THE ONE THAT WILL BE USED FOR THE SACRIFICE QAQ I WANNA SAVE MOMMY *BIRB NOISES*

What if margulis is a sentient and when she was disintegrated she regrew herself but lost all her memories and was taken in by hunhow who then became natah

I think the man in the wall is a result of the Void and it’s probably part of it too.but as for sentients they are technically good people

Have you noticed that most of the deatroyed Sentients on the Plains are Snetient carriers, like from the trailer. Of you have, you probably have also noticed that they come in different sizes, from a little bigger than you, to large enough to carry the Gantalyst...

Maybe the Umbra variation has to do with tenno sacrificing their dependence of Marghulis/Natah. Or maybe they are fully committed to the voids powers at that point where before hand the tenno only stuck a foot or leg into it

this man is a treat. =v=

Xayl reminds me so much of Deadpool

My vote is on the "man in the wall" theory on why the sentients changed the way they did.

Well like I always say, literally the Orokin created all of the enemies did us... we now need aliens or another dimension being to fight us

Well now we know that the sentients didn't want the orokin to destroy the tao system like they ruined the origin system. So thats why they started the war.
