What We Know Warframe Lore - The Entire Warframe Timeline (2017)

A chronological arrangement of all events and lore pieces currently in Warframe.

This does not include quests themselves as the current star chart progression clashes with established events.

The exact placement of events is rough, but should give a general timeline of things, most importantly, retired events and alerts that are no longer accessible in-game.

I didn't include them in the video because they clash with current progression, but going roughly, here is how the various quests would align in this timeline by going off of a combination of release date, story progression idealism, and current gameplay progression (yes I know it's contradictory). When I inevitably update this video, I'll likely include this list.

Vor's Prize - Listed in the Video
Once Awake - Listed in the Video
Howl of the Kubrow - After Fusion Moa Event, Before Gradivus Dilemma
Stolen Dreams - After the Gradivus Dillemma, Before Hunt for Alad V
The Limbo Theorem - After the Hunt for Alad V
Patient 0 - During the Mutalist Incursions, Before Tubemen of Regor
The Archwing - After Gate Crash, Before Eyes of Blight
A Man of Few Words - After Tubemen of Regor, Before Natah
The New Strange - Before the Second Dream, After Stolen Dreams, (possibly after Second Dream? [Higher MR Req])
Natah - After Tubemen of Regor
The Second Dream - After Natah, Before Operation Shadow Debt
Sands of Inaros - After Operation Shadow Debt
The Jordas Precept - After The Second Dream, After the New Strange
Octavia's Anthem - After The Second Dream, After the New Strange
The Silver Grove - After The Second Dream
Hidden Messages - Before The War Within, After the Second Dream
The War Within - After Operation Rathuum
The Glast Gambit - After The War Within
The Pacifism Defect - After Operation Rathuum, Before Chains of Harrow
Ambulas/Ambulas Reborn - After the Glast Gambit
Chains of Harrow - The actual most recent event on the timeline. After Ambulas Reborn.

Honestly, it's a confusing mess, and a single re-interpretation of a timeline placement could rearrange the whole thing. Here's hoping they fix it someday.

When you send your own daughter to kill off the last and greatest defense against your war effort but she somehow becomes their mom and leaves you at the bottom of the ocean.

if warframe is ever all said and done one day, i would love a standalone single player story focused remake of warframe that has you play through all of these events as quests in chronological order. I would easily pay $60 for that.

[DarkDom]

Lotus: Space Mom

Hunhow: Space Gramps

Teshin: Space Uncle

Ordis: Space Nanny

Ballas: Space Mom's Space Boyfriend that keeps her out to late and stops her from making us cheerios.

All we need now is tv series with several seasons

I know you are overly-critical of your work but this is a really good video. Simple and effective; it's nice to have some order in the System's timeline

4:57 Anyone notice the glow of the ring and his voice are almost in perfect sync

I was wondering exactly what Rell's story was. Chains of Harrow cleared up jack. Now Rell sounds like an unsung hero and I love it.

HOLY MOTHER OF THE VOID! This video is pure gold! Man, u deserve a medal for putting together so many scattered pieces of lore into one single coherent narrative. Mad props to u, bro!

[thecrionic]

What's the lore behind the ever increasing grind?

[sinofren]

I hope he makes an updated version of this 2019 even for 2020, because some of the more recent lore is really confusing and doesn’t really make sense. I hope you may be able to clear things up.

[pivkemrzli]

Alad V is such an awesome character!
kind of mad scientist type.. always up to something funky and keeps coming back every time with another crazy idea.
who could blame him for trying to kill you a few times, or dissecting a couple of tennos?
hes a cool guy.

Ruining Baro's mystique out of spite that is great.

This free game has a better story line than most full priced games

[joebrockman]

[DE] should hire you to make sense of their game yo.

Hek didn't really fail, he destroyed 6 out of 9 relays.
