The Jade Light was a method of execution used by the Orokin. Often seen as "honorable", it was mainly used on defectors or apostates to grant them a quick a merciful end.[1] The light basically functioned as a disintegration ray; after a mere flash, the accused is is turned into nothing but mist, gore and hot dust.
Lore & History[]
Overview[]
- Main article: Jade's Promise
The Warframe, Jade a criminal of the Orokin Empire who was converted into a Warframe as punishment. Jade was often kept in stasis within the execution chamber on Lua, and was only released to carry out the Executors' executions.
Despite Jade being the sole wielder of the Jade Light, it could be used in a portable manner, such as on the Zariman 10-0, or by the Myrmidon, who could wield the Light with a braclet.
Granum's Desecration[]
- Main article: Operation: Belly of the Beast
When Jade passed, she disintegrated into motes of Jade Light which have now permeated the Stalker's hideout. Sensing opportunity, Corpus Founder Parvos Granum sends his Corpus to collect the motes to further his Jade Eximus project,[2] intent on using her power as a tool of his desire.[3] However, Parvos's current Jade Eximus are unfinished, and he requires Jade's Volatile Motes to perfect them. The Tenno now fight to collect these motes first, consigning them to be burned in the Sun so Jade can fully rest.[4]
Despite his remaining hatred for the Tenno, the Stalker would provide them aid, and could be seen fighting alongside them.
The Tenno are ultimately victorious, with Parvos now attempting to harvest Jade's lesser Vestigial Motes to complete his project. However, due to their lack of sheer power compared the Volatile Motes, his progress is virtually halted.[5]
Known Victims[]
- Archimedean Margulis - Sentenced by Ballas for protecting the Tenno.[6]
- Archimedean Yonta - Committed suicide to escape the horrors of the Zariman Ten Zero, an "undeserved" honor. Survived due to Conceptual Embodiment.
- Archimedean Javi - Was sentenced due to his forbidden research into alchemy and transmutation. Sentence was overturned into cellular reversal, as his executors believed he would somehow survive the Jade Light.
- Ivara's two Warframe allies - Killed by the Myrmidon, a Warframe hunter whose victims were deemed unworthy of being remembered and thus erased from history.
