Zariman Tablets
Tablets from the Zariman have begun appearing around Duviri. These testing tablets contain a single question and await the correct answer. You have the answers, don’t you Tenno?

I looked around for a few hours to find these and as far I know there are 29 30, but I've probably missed some?

Here's an album with a screenshot of each with the answer written below in description: https://imgur.com/a/wak3U4X

If you answer wrong: 'the Wall' laughs.

If you answer right: 'the Wall' starts to speak Requiem sentences, which is a whole another can of worms to decipher.

These texts are suprisingly blunt about Lore details, which I find quite fascinating.

Does this mean that the tales of duviri, is some kind of a contingency plan in case things go south? 

Not really. Rather a book that can help you calibrate your mind should you be exposed to Void.
You CANNOT be to emotional when in Void, or things will become real, that's why everyone in Duviri is "bad", because they are TOO emotional.

Pretty much this, but it kind of makes it a contingency plan in a way. This also probably means that a version of a Duviri existed before Zariman accident, which was conjured by another person than Drifter so the Tales of Duviri could have been written beforehand.

Nope. That's not how it is I think. Duviri was as real as Middle-Earth. Fictional story in a book, but it was like a guiding ideology for void travel, probably for the kids. But the trauma that Drifter suffered on Zariman caused them to create (through conceptual embodiment) the Duviri (as a hiding place???) they knew from the book. It was not real, until Drifter created it around themselves. Then they over time forgot and lost control. And then the quest happens.

Interesting that some of these questions seem to be posed by the Orokin, others by the Man.

Also some of these make me want to punch the Orokin even harder than they already have been so congrats DE.

 

I particularly like the 'I never said I saved you'. Interesting note here. suggests that we, the player, are the ones of interest to You-Know-Who.

Chosen one narratives are always more interesting when you absolutely do not want to be chosen by the person in question.

The Tales of Duviri is a book written by Euleria Entrati (Mother, pre-Deimos) for this exact purpose. We know this because she is the one narrating the spiral stories, and the description on the Fabled Gene-Masking Kit also suggests so. Whether she had any real inspiration for such a thing isn't clear but the Plains of Duviri we know now is a result of Conceptual Embodiment from the mind of the Drifter, given form as characters and places from the book.

It's probably referring to the drifter and how he basically gets a free ticket to void powers because of Duviri quest or operator in the new war.

DE never disappoints in the lore department. The lines are all slowly connecting, and I am legitimately terrified of what Man in the Wall has planned for us. He seems to be impatient and angry.

 

Yup, DE got right the lore. 

 

Wally is getting very interesting.

According to "old" in-game lore Duviri was a real place. If I remember correctly it was The Business that mentioned he had "worked" there. It was supposedly a very royal and festive Orokin house/colony or whatever it was he refered to it as. Sadly those in-game ties have been removed and potentially retconned out, or it might just be that Euleria Entrati based the book on real history of the place. Kinda like how we do these days with "based on a true story" or "historical" dramas and so on.

B: Yes, so long as we control our emotions

if that's the case, what if the zariman is actually travelling to tau, creating a bridge between systems, and only the passengers that can regulate emotion are getting there alive, like the drifter with the duviri coping plane of existence.

I wonder if that's a hint at what's coming at tennocon?

 

The orokin never tried that in the past or did they?

Rebecca did hint at sentient stuff beeing at tennocon.

We've been waiting for TAU content for 8 years, so let's hope so :D

All of the update between 15 -> 33 have been in preparation for us going to Tau.

Yonta knows how to perform the Void jump now, if we are to believe her enthusiasm =)
