Had Orokin knew about Natah (Lotus) at all? She could have emerged right before their downfall. No states (that I saw) tells that she lead Tenno in the beginning of the War.

After all DE even changed the meaning of the all-around Tenno logo from “Lotus” to “Hayden Tenno”.

And the Lotus symbol? She just could have used it to her ends. Hackers do that, you know.



So had Tenno sided her? No. Not really.

Sentients were masters of hacking Orokin weapons from the start. In the end they just found a way to hack the most powerful one – the Tenno. By introducing them a false messiah or just a brute force hacking is arguable.

It adds up perfectly: Sentients hacked warframes using Natah (Lotus), wiped out entire Orokin race by Tenno hands… and on the last part there was a jam. Natah hadn’t destroyed Tenno, just erased there memories and went into hiding.

Why Natah done that is arguable too. Tenno are a powerful tool after all. My thoughts are - by simply returning home she would become just a crippled war veteran with no way to rebuild her powers or even prolong her dynasty, but with an army of Tenno at her fingertips that is another story entirely (she has all the tools for a grand push to power).

What does it make Tenno? As I said – tools. Perfect warriors to follow orders. Almost mindless in their obedience.

And the only flicker of hope one can get is the Arbiters of Hexis Syndicate which explores if Tenno can be something more… Can’t say I trust their motives btw.
