#Belric

[tired-collegestudent]

I DO NOT, however, see the Belric (???) vision. bestie is would've been so easy to fix, why did you give us established relationship only to ruin it all immediately.

[funky-solaris-time]

You know maybe the Lotus being so Invested in protecting Belric and Rania is because she was a victim of an abusive relationship. So she wants the pure love that Belric and Rania had to be protected because it proves that kind of love can be honest and real.

Vega, the Umbral Nova

Vega, the Umbral Nova is done! There is no distance too far for her to travel! The new year arrives with her!

The Tale of Vega

In the origin system, there is a saying that “Bonds can connect people regardless of distance.”. Thus is true for the lovers, Belric and Rania, however it is also true for family as we read of Vega’s tale. Known as the Shooting Star, the New Solar Cycle, or even the Sun’s Guardian, Vega has protected her Origin System since her transformation.

Though most Umbras were Dax as they needed the vigor to withstand their process, Vega was one of the few exceptions. She was merely scientist under the Orokin, born on Lua and raised on Apollo with her legal guardian Altair, her grandfather. Her research proved useful for her golden masters, making strides in the fields of space travel and allowing for easier transit between planets. All of this was for him, she wanted to make him proud.

However before the height of her achievement, Altair fell fatally ill. By the time she returned to his side, he was already on death’s door. She offered Continuity to him, she had the means and the connections. But the old man merely gave her his last words. . .”I am not leaving you, Vega. I am merely joining your parents. Know that we will always be with you as you look to the sun in the sky. “

With those last words, she had lost a pillar in her life. But she had to continue her final project, the Solar Rails. She nearly completed them, allowing for instant teleportation between each rail set on each planet or even system. But a covetous Executor sought to take her ideas for his own. The next thing Vega knew, she awoke strapped to a chair. Unable to move and now morphed by the Helminth Strain, Vega was changed physically but the light inside of her never gave up. The other scientists said she was an anomaly, thus she was put to cryo-stasis to tame the energy radiating from her new form.

Eventually when the system was threatened by the Executor and his cruel Narmer empire, Vega finally awoke. A cry from Altair was heard as the mad Orokin attempted to feed the sun to the Praghasa Sentient Mothership. Vega had different plans, creating a wormhole to save the solar body and pulling his empire away to freeze in another galaxy. She had arrived just in time, and has yet to discover the full extent of her new Warframe powers.

Whenever the new year arrives Tenno, remember that Vega smiles as the planets turn.

Albrecht and Loid, Belric and Rania, (necra) Loid and Otak. Deimos is the most romantic place in the system.

[agoddamn]

So there's a decent chance Loid knew Belric and Rania, right? They were running the Infestation research on Deimos and the Entrati were pretty involved in that. I don't think Loid saw the bio-bomb business go down, but I think he at least knew them as fellow researchers.

...so did Loid know Citrine?

Otak (and therefore Necraloid) is the one to give you directions to Citrine's map in the first place. Necraloid is also very particular about the historical accuracy of the legend.

Otak: "Ooh! Ooh! You know about Citrine? And Belric and Rania? I love that story! Loid says it isn't true, though, boo."

Loid: "I did not say that, Otak. I merely said that it has been significantly embellished."

Otak: "Loid says the Citrine story is 'sentimental fiction'. I guess Loid forgot we got invaded by the sentiments!"

Loid: "Those were the Sentients, Otak. As I believe I have explained before."

Otak: "Some folks say Citrine's story happened right here, on Deimos!"

Loid: "Yes. They do say that. Despite being politely asked not to."

Almost like he has some first-person knowledge?

Anyway I wonder if Loid ever looked at Citrine while the whole Necraloid plan was being built and wondered if there was a real difference between them haha

Tennotober 03: Fragments #art Citrine with Belric and Rania fragments.

[eljeebee]

Citrine, Guardian of Belric and Rania

[cephalon-celaeno]

there is extra rania and belric lore hidden behind the item you get from buying citrine’s big pack… and i only know this bc a friend bought it for me cause im so over-the-top obsessed with citrine

and if this dialogue had been in the mission at all I would have been 1000x more invested in rania and belric from the beginning. it’s SO good 😭😭

[warframestuff]

Fixed Protea’s Grenade Fan’s Shield Satellites (held cast) and Wisp’s Reservoirs (Vitality Mote & Fused Reservoir) healing the Belric and Rania’s Crystals.

This is a follow up fix to the one made in Hotfix 32.2.3 with the same reasoning/intention: Mirror Defence was designed to allow healing, grant overshields and provide active protection with the Prismatic Ward all through collecting Citrine’s Remnants instead of relying on Warframe and Weapon abilities.  

[mjikthize]

"Tenno, you're here to defend something that defies my own understanding of the Void. These crystals need you. Stop the Grineer and Corpus."

Belric and Rania's Crystals. 3d printed decorations for your orbiter. #warframefanart #Tennovation #3Dprinting #Blender3d #EryonePLA

[novustrad]

Hey, what if Belric and Rania were Citrine's parents?

A Tenno who was lucky enough to not lose their family on the Zariman because they weren't there for some fortuitous reason.

Only to lose them later down the line but manage to preserve their bodies in their dying moments.

[alteredsilicone]

1550 Rania crystals + 1500 Belric crystals for a full Citrine set

So far I have 610 of each :") Almost halfway through

[jessiollyolive]

Another sketch commission! This is Clara Belric, from our Curse of Strahd party, The Ghoulies. An heiress who was fleeing an unhappy marriage when she was spirited away to Barovia, Clara is surprisingly handy with a knife.

[agoddamn]

@alteredsilicone if I'm understanding things correctly, WITW retconned/"expanded on" the timeline in a lot of interesting ways. Albrecht's Notes seem to imply that the Grey Strain is actually native to 1999 and Albrecht is the one who brought it back.

I went among the denizens of the plague year like a savior, my hands filled with healing. To those who volunteered, I brought more than health. Their bodies were primed; it needed only the Helminth infusions, brought from my own time, to work the alchemy of transformation. 

As their loyal doctor, I have taken repeated samples from them. The sight of their Technocyte-riddled cells mutating gave me fresh visions. I could take this material, work with it, forge new creations. Eagerly I brought the samples back to Deimos and began to cultivate them.

It was Loid who pointed out the singular attributes of the Grey Strain. How it stimulates growth to monstrous dimensions.

Albrecht brings the modern Helminth strain to 1999, takes samples of the 1999 strain, and brings that back to modern Deimos. Belric and Rania made their bio-bomb from Albrecht's samples.

Deimos's bombing seems to have happened late in the Old War and Deimos to have been--not exactly abandoned, as the Entrati family bunkered down in the Necralisk, but lost as a strategic location (Belric and Rania are called Deimos's last line of defense).

Belric and Rania seem to have worked at an Infestation research facility that was most likely Albrecht's work, though I don't think he was still around at the time.

So I think the order of events is Albrecht brings back samples from 1999 -> his research facilities study the Grey Strain -> Belric and Rania use those to make the bio-bomb and nuke Deimos -> bored Kermerros breaks lockdown protocol and infects his family. It's not clear when Albrecht vanished, but it was somewhere between step 2 and 4.

Personally, my headcanon for the Orowyrms in the Void is that they're a failed security measure created by Albrecht Entrati, to try and prevent the Man in the Wall from interfering with Orokin Void installations. I have no evidence for this, unfortunately, but Orowyrms clearly existed as a concept outside of Duviri, since they're featured in Euleria Entrati's book. They're also clearly of Orokin design when we see them in Void Storms, the Belric and Rania Void tunnel, and in Void mirrors, rather than the Duviri ones, which have different colouration. As for why I think Albrecht is responsible for them, I can't really think of anyone else who would think that sticking a giant dragon in a nightmare dimension would be a good idea.

Soooo what about the orowyrm we see in the Void? Is it the one from Duviri or something else
