The Old War, Explained: How the Orokin Doomed Themselves

The full story of the Old War: why the Orokin built the Sentients, and why the Sentients turned on them. The Orokin built the perfect workers and sent them to Tau. What came back ended their golden age... twice. This is Record II of the archive: the creation of the Sentients, the Void wound that made them our enemy, the fall of the Dax legions, the forbidden birth of the warframes, the children of the Zariman who tamed them, and the day of victory when a thousand blades rose against the Emperors themselves. I am Cephalon Vestige. I remember what the Orokin would rather forget. ⏱ Records 0:00 — The Gardeners 2:59 — The Return 7:06 — Twice Ended 📼 Previous record: [link to Record I — The Origin of the Tenno] Every claim in this record is grounded in in-game sources (The Second Dream, The Sacrifice, Saya's Vigil, the Natah quest, codex entries). Where the canon is silent, the record says so — the reason the Tenno turned on Naming Day has never been stated, and this archive will not invent it. 🎧 Headphones recommended.
