The inspiration behind the warframe story... How much is real human history?

[MollAgdeduba]

Ok... i was bored and to make time pass, i had this idea: make a comparison to the real world story, with the warframe story. 

At the beginning there were Orokin. Is impossible to not notice that Orokin are inspired at the Roman Empire. The two empires shares a lot of similitudes: both were great empire that collapsed, both ruled on immense territory and different people and on those territories now there are just ruins as evidence of those ancient civilization. Other thing that support this similitude are the words: orokin use a lot of latin words and also "theyr theme" is a latin song. 

But the most similitude between Orokin and Romans is not what they have done, but what they left, abandoned and ruined in theyr ancient domains. Using a quote: "we are dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants" and this is true. In both cases the technology, the greatness and everything was lost, not forever, but just since it is slowly being rediscovered. And that's exactly what we are doing now in warframe; slowly recovering relic, and technology of an ancient forevergone era. The ancient orokin science, for the tenno, but also for other faction, is like something "magic", cause is too advanced for us, so everyone try to study and to replicate those things, and we are discovering again little peice of that technology. 

Another faction in the game that has some similitude and fit perfectly in this comparison are Corpus. The roman/orokin empire fall and centuries after this fall, is time for merchant to rule the world/system. The story of Corpus is really interesting if looked form this point of view. If orokin were sytill alive, probably corpus will be still merchant, but subjugated to their "golden master". Now they rule. We don't know what happened to the corpus in the ages that separate the fall of the orokin to our current time, but we know how they started and how they are now. Instead, we know what happened to the humanity in the time from the fall of Rome to the age of more similar to our currently state. The war corpus/grineer is like the free cities nad the other alliances that fight against the Holy Roman Empire.

So, now i want to present the "Holy Grineer Empire". Grineer  have an empire, lead by orokin queen that claim to be the successor of the Orokin Empire and want to conquer back all the territories that was of the gold master. In fact grineer are still loyal to the orokin empire, cause they follow and work for """orokin""". Of course grineer empire shares with the Holy roman empire two things: the first, both are not legitimate to claim to be the successor of the previous empire but both want to claim it, and recreate the ancient empire. The second is both are made of people thatduring the Empire were at the edge of the society. Grineers were some slave/labour force/soldier for the Orokin. German tribes were a strange part of romans society; they lived outside the "wall", since the romans avoid to conquer those territories after Teutoburgo disaster, but live out of the empire doesn't mean that the were out of the society. In fact those tribes were allied, protected and sometimes enemies wih romans but most important germans were (at the end of the empire) a very important part of the legions.

So.. supposing that the Infested could be thinked like a wave of a plague more than a real entity or state or reign, what could have inspired the invasion of Sentient? Well.. this is difficult to say. Probably sentient could be the Mongolian Empire or maybe the Ottoman Empire. Both arrived from far, far away, and both show that internal division (Sol System for warframe, Europe in real history) were pointless and most important thing was to avoid that internal problem will lead to become all vassals of a 3rd great power. 

The great, final question... the Tenno? Tenno probably are the thing most similar to a Crusader. Both are surrounded by a type of religion ("Tenno, that power is sacre!" cit. Lotus ) and both are warrior. Like the Catholicism, that start under the Roman Empire, the tenno start in the Orokin Empire; both helped a lot for the fall of theyr ruling empire. Without a master, both achieved an immense power.  

Ok... thax for have read all... i hope could be at least a little bit interesting or touched your curiosity... Glory to Rome!
