Current Sevastiel Lore Theories List

(Misc collection of all my interpretations/theories on lore thus far. Warning, theres a LOT. Primary focus on void functions and infestation functions.)

Techrot feed off of energy moreso than they do metal, metal is mostly a conductor and a material that can be used to create more resilient and complex structures. This is why they Can consume machines. (Partially proven correct)

The infestation uses a powerful base to dissolve through things, not an acid. Allows less ultimately destructive techniques and minimum energy loss. Also makes scaldra's use of specifically acid more understandable.

The infestation do not necessarily require a protein base to create their bio... stuff. This is why they can infest, say, a planet, and somehow have the biomass to cover the entire surface without an entire surface covering's worth of protein based life forms. What they do use is absolutely beyond me. Current guess is probably silicon for structure base, as carbon is organic.

Everyone has a bit of void energy inside of them that is modified by their experience. That is what a Soul is, and why people echo in the void after their death. (Consider the Kim discussion with eleanor about the void and the afterlife)

Void energy past a very small amount is very difficult to hold onto if you arent modified to be able to hold more of it, but if you are imbued with more than youre regularly able to hold onto, it can/will fuck up your soul. This is why people who interact with the void go insane, instead of just getting powers.

The adults on the zariman were given an understanding of both the nature of eternity and also what the tenno would become, and how much KILLING they would do. Also, that the tenno would be far more complete void vessels, which could, if they could consume them, possibly allow them to contain more power/and/or not be destroyed by the void

Tenno blood could be used as kuva. The physical aspect of the tenno is, at very least, VERY well equipped to hold onto void energy and thusly ingesting it might spread the effect. (No it wont lol) Queens wanted to transfer into a tenno because of the void capacity.

Red kuva primarily fucks with your mental aspect of the soul(allows the orokin transfer of consiousness) whereas blue kuva fucks with your physical aspect of the soul (allows shapeshifting, in lore) and thusly purple kuva could probably allow you to just Become Anyone

Everything is essentially the void. Reality is held together, much like duviri, by the expectation and understanding of everyone that exists within it. Common consensus decides that the sun keeps rising/that gravity continues to work.

The physical look of the tenno/drifter is entirely based on their perception of self. This is why we can change our cosmetics/gender/voice on a literal whim, and ultimately means that we are not really limited to human forms. Conceptual em-body-ment :)

Void tongue is not an actual language, per se. Each word is more or less simply describing a concept/idea that is taken from across externalism, which is why each word is described with a poem, and not a regular definition. Its like saying 'water' and truly meaning/referring to all of water, everything that has experienced it, every emotion that anyone has ever had about it, every moment that it has existed, and every interaction that it has had with every other thing. This is why void tongue drives you mad to understand it, because it just pushes your mind so far beyond its limits. Like an ant suddenly being raised to the awareness of a human with all the understanding we have of our world, the knowledge of taxes and society and the way people act, all while still limited by the few neurons of an ants brain. The soul can retain that information, your body/brain cannot, and the discrepancy is probably upsetting.

The mind is the connection point between the soul and the body, the void and the physical world we've made, and that is why it is capable of affecting the void at all.

Because our reality is held together by what we think it is, that order extends to all of it, even things that we inherently think of as chaotic, like our energy. Our energy is VERY orderly, and it tends to exert that order on things it comes in contact with. This is why the murmur and void enemies are weak to radiation and electrical damage, because its a high amount of ordered energy that comes up against energy that is only chaotic because nobodys gotten around to ordering it up yet.

Transference works through the manipulation of electrical systems across gaps translated through the void. Void energy to open up the link is necessary. This is why warframes are very Much Metal, and why transference bolts are metal. Because that shit is conductive. It allows us to literally mirror our brain signals inside of a warframe's brain, and visa versa. This is why transference is hard to fight off, and why a stronger will allows domination over the other. Orokin transference probably allows them to cheat at this by amplifying their signals a few times through manipulation of void energy.

Void portals need both a void energy component and an order energy component. The void energy to open the tear in reality, the order energy to pave a way through the void to another place. Like digging a tunnel in sand, and using wooden planks to line the walls to keep it from collapsing. This is why all the void portals we see/use often are tied to large energy generators, and why albrecht needed a nuclear reactor detonation to have enough power to time travel. You need a LOT of power to travel the void safely unless you're of the void, like a tenno is.

Archon shards are 'anti-entropic radiation', which is, I assume, the sentient's way of dealing with the void radiation that would end their race otherwise. The void is said to be both entropy and anti-entropy, it decays, it creates, yadda yadda, so if you order it to be specifically non-entropic through some process, you can basically lock it into one manageable form. Its still void energy, which is why they're not commonly used outside of warframes and archons, but its still a containment method. I wonder if Albrecht is at all curious about how the sentients in tau managed to find ways to contain void energy. Seems it could be useful to him.

Archon shards are not perfect, as we can see them visibly leaking void particle styled energy, and the 'effect' we get from an archon shard is due to a specific desire/idea that the crystalized energy is centered around being. Tauforged shards have more energy. if they are described as anti-entropic, we must assume taht means they are at least mostly so. So, most of the energy that escapes gets pulled back in, and we use the liiittle bit that we siphon off the top/that leaks out. Like drinking from a recycling water fountain but infinitely less gross.

Void energy tends to either pull in more void energy, or de-order the energy around it. Chaos begets chaos, entropy begets entropy.

The albrecht membrane is literally the separation between what is and what we think is.

The skin of a warframe is bolstered by multi-cell-wall layers, (The tougher/more leathery bits, maybe 2? the more flexible bits maybe just 1? unsure. Not a biologist, just talked with some.) growths akin to a horses hooves but with a more flexible structure, (the toughest bits) pleeenty of lignin, a thick layer of skin/padding overall, and an underlayer beneath the skin of a thick, non-Newtonian liquid. Likely either highly conductive or held within a lattice of highly conductive tissues, possibly incorporating metals like gold into the structure either held between cells or somehow within them. The outer layer offers us our slash resistance, the fluid provides both the impact resistance and the energy channels for our energy to go through, and is what makes up our emissive effects. Also is why all the orokin towers have that layer of golden veining beneath the fat and flesh, and are able to 1, bleed, and 2, transmit/control energy.

Warframes have extra organs/mechanisms for storing both bioelectricity and a pinch of void energy. Void energy draws in itself, but might struggle to do so when surrounded by regular energy, which keeps it contained and harmless. Most of the warframe's abilities are pulled from the void energy collective, physical functions are pulled from the bioelectricity collective. Shields are probably fueled from the bioelectricity, and abilities are from the void. (theres no physical way at all ever to generate enough energy to unleash a portal to the sun at whim) This is why we naturally have no/very low energy regen, and start missions at very little energy, because holding a high amount of void energy in general would be Extremely dangerous.

Energy orbs are kinda just The Power That Makes Up That Guys's Fucking Soul. Consume it to use void magic. Yippee.

Overguard is made up of void energy. (glances at kullervo) It allows the haver to simply Resist shit because with that much void energy around you, it can 1, nullify energy that comes into contact with it, (stop bullets by instantly countering out kinetic energy, absorb the impact of a fall, etc etc) and 2, it sort of just alters your percieved 'existence' when it comes to other void things. Like, a void ability will just blitz through or slide off, which is why we cant target overguarded enemies with abilities. Their physical location exists, but their physical energies do not.

Eximus units are probably people who have specialized units of programmed void energy that they can utilize. I dont imagine they last long power-wise or mentally.

Infested eximus units probably have the same separation between void energy organs and bio-electric organs as warframes do.

The infestations various hiveminds came to be because it consumed living beings with souls/connections to the void, and, as void energy risks destroying regular energy, and it NEEDS the regular energy to exists, it probably had to contain it carefully. that adds up, and all those souls together, all those memories, all that consciousness, would form the hivemind.

Wally/all of the clones are a decentralized hivemind. All have access to the same knowledge/shit, but each individual facet/clone creation is just that, its own facet on the same gem.

Thrax is the drifter's void clone, but is the natural one that happened not because the wally collective made it, but the result of the drifter really REALLY wanting someone to protect them/a friend, and only having themselves. A shadow cast with natural light, instead of a shadow cast by wally pointing a flashlight at someone.

Warframes feed through the helminth, which is why we dont need to feed them but do need to stuck up the wall mouth, and why their backs always look so rough.

The warframes we pilot are shadows of the originals, with the orokin having devised ways to sever parts of the brain to reduce the likelihood of them having consciousness while retaining their capacity for memory.

The mod system/arcanes are a mixture of a physical item, like a little chip, and a charge of stabilized void energy thats set to do a certain thing. Like an archon shard, but less... Archon-y. And way less powerful. Powering up the mod is done by increasing the charge of energy within the chip, which increases its effects on reality. Stick those mfers in the warframe's spine or something. The physical aspect of the modding system is why we cannot alter the protoframe's modding, because Ow.

Time travel works by anchors if you dont want to do it the regular way. Go into the void and pray you can keep your destination in mind. (Proven correct, thank fucking god)

you could kill a tenno with a sufficient amount of energy.

The ascaris probably worked on the same wavelength as transference. (metaphorically) And probably both induced brain-wave style electrical waves and charges of a high enough power, siphoned from the warframe's own energy supplies, to eat through the void energy.
