Alkarnus Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 It had just occurred to me that tenno were awakened, not made. Supposedly all the tenno that exist were children from the Zaruman Ten-Zero incident. They age normally like other humans. This means one day, they will all die of old age with no new tenno to take their place. The Sentients could simply hide and wait until all tenno die off since they are immortal. Logically, for the continuity of the tenno, they would have to find a way to make more..... either by sacrificing children to void exposure or seeing if their offspring will possess their powers. Personally, I'm more excited for the latter as offspring with void powers have the potential to mutate and manifest new powers. Unless I've missed a major part of the lore and all this is meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyranno66 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Why do you think they age normally? It's been established that they don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New War trailer confirms that tenno do age as normal humans. As for the tenno that we control, they were put into stasis pods since the Old War ended with the fall of the Orokin empire.

The 2nd dream to the sacrifice could've been less than a year. So there is no lore saying they don't age normally.

If you're referring to the Duviri Paradox, a lot of things point to it being a void open world. Void kept the tenno young, void can make them old. Moreover I don't think the aging was gradual since our adult tenno was surprised that he can't use void powers and I don't think it'll make a good literary plotpoint to have the adult tenno lose its powers on a whim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Demon Intellect Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 The biggest issue I have with the whole 'the tenno are the only ones who can fight the sentiments' lore doesnt make sense. The tenno never directly fought the sentients, the warframes did, and the sentients have been shown to be able to adapt to their weapons and powers, so how exactly did the tenno make a difference since they never learned to use their powers until TWW.

Before TWW we had the kamehameha chest laser. I suppose that stripped sentients from their adaptations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tenno *re-learned* how to use their void powers in The War Within quest - a power which strips all resistance from the Sentients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um no. Teshin says Margulis kept them from their pain which also kept them from their full powers. Margulis was killed before the Tenno were used to control warframes, meaning they never learned to use those powers. Teshin: I warned you. Now you're trapped inside this place with the Queens burrowing in. Now I am forced to undo what Margulis did, to open the gates... and make you suffer. Teshin: Margulis lied to you, a lie of omission. She did not cure the Zariman children - she erased them. My only hope is that truth still lingers inside you, buried within your mind. The power and the misery... of the Void. Edited July 7, 2019 by (XB1)Demon Intellect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteMarker Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 1. Why not wait for the update to hit so that we can see how DE explains stuff. 2. It's entirely possible the Tenno in the Trailer isn't "one of us". Someone else, like Rell. Something happened to him, and now he is older. It's possible that the player controlled Tenno won't age because what happened to the Trailer-Tenno didn't happen to us. Who knows. Back to point 1. We should wait for the update/lore to hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my main gripe with saying the Duviri Paradox confirms aging. Yeah they clearly were a tenno and tried to use void powers, but we have no idea who they are and how they got there. With 0 context as to whats happening all we can do is speculate. Edited July 7, 2019 by AXCrusnik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did say on topic news about this, and they say this for the duviri paradox: it's time to grow up,Tenno... so yea I think we are getting mature maybe because we lost power from the big titan robotic snake... And in that new open world we have that new big boss and maybe chance to become better warrior and take power back... And in the end maybe we will have unlock extra passive on operator and we can fight with operator and same time all frame is fighting with you without controlling them... And maybe become some king/lord defender and your army are the warframes.... And just imagine mature operator with melee and frame powers that you like on your operator.

You're right. During the Old War, the Tenno weren't able to express their abilities while controlling the Warframes as they were unaware of their nature. During the Old War, the Orokin first attacked with soldiers and technological means like big laser guns. That didn't work; the Sentients took over the technology the Orokin tried to use to fight them. Then, they used the Infestation. That's because they couldn't be taken over by the Sentients' ability to incorporate technology. It rapidly grew out of control, consuming the outer colonies, failing to stop the Sentients. After that, they tried to use the Helminth/Dax Warframes because of the same reason. They, too, did not remain obedient to the Orokin and failed. Finally, Ballas and Marghulis had the Tenno control the Warframes using Transference. The Warframes themselves could not be controlled by the Sentients, and the Tenno's presence meant that they could be controlled. They didn't neutralise their adaptability like the Tenno do in the game; they just brute force murdered all of them like proper space ninjas. That's why they were able to defeat the Sentients when other means couldn't. Edited July 7, 2019 by iLightning13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
