Lore[]
- Main article: The Silver Grove
Silvana was an Orokin-era researcher from Earth who wished to save her dying planet. She was recruited by Margulis to assist in Transference research, but the dream in working with her childhood hero turned into a nightmare as Ballas warped the project into creating Warframes for the sole purpose of destruction. Thus, Titania was born, a killer made by a healer.
Hateful at her own creation, Silvana defected and stowed away on Earth-bound cargo, having stolen Apothics and slapdash Somatics with the intention to revive her planet. Seeding a mighty forest that would become the Silver Grove, Silvana then used her Transference knowledge to successfully and permanently bond with the forest itself.
When the Orokin found out of her defection, a battalion of Dax soldiers was dispatched to bring ruin to her forest. As the trees set ablaze, Silvana sensed a familiar presence: an unseen pixie that proceeded to slay the soldiers, Titania. The Warframe had given her own life to protect the woman who hated her the most.
In the present day, New Loka anoints the Silver Grove as their shrine. Desiring to protect the forest from Grineer, New Loka's leader Amaryn hires the Tenno to craft the Apothic given to them by the forest itself to awaken its ancient defenses. The Apothic blueprints also contain voice imprints of Silvana which details her logs, which horrifies Amaryn as she learns that the Silver Grove is not a pure sanctuary but an "Orokin poison". While anointing the Apothic, Silvana's disembodied voice awakens and initially mistakes the Tenno for an intruder until she gains enough clarity and sees them as a protector like Titania was. Amaryn, realizing that New Loka shares Silvana's ideals in spite of the Grove's artificial nature, sees that her syndicate change their dogmatic beliefs and swears that Titania will fly again.
Trivia[]
- Titania is portrayed as Queen of the Fairies in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream, in which she is wife to Oberon, King of the Fairies. It is worth noting that while Oberon existed long before Shakespeare's play, Titania was created specifically for it.
- Titania shares her name with a mission node on Uranus, which in turn corresponds to one of Uranus' moons in real life.
- In Razorwing mode, the name of Titania's melee weapon is Diwata, which is a Filipino word that historically refers to spirits that reside in the forests, but in contemporary usage typically refers to fairies or elves.
- Throughout The Silver Grove and promotional materials, Titania's name is pronounced "Tie-TAY-nia" (/taɪˈteɪniə/, the same pronunciation as the chemical substance Titania) as opposed to its Shakespearean pronunciation "Tih-TAN-ya" (/tɪˈtɑːniə/), which is deemed the correct pronunciation by the Oxford dictionary.
- Titania's alternate helmet Mab refers to William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, in which Mercutio speaks of Queen Mab, a fairy that enchants humans with dreams of their greatest desires.
- Titania was the first Warframe that required Tellurium to build.
- The Lotus' final remark of "but don't take my word for it, Tenno" in the intro video is a reference to Reading Rainbow, in which the host LeVar Burton would use the line as a catchphrase near the end of each episode.
- Titania is the only Warframe to have two Exalted Weapons, while others have only one.
- Titania was the first Warframe that could go airborne via a channeled ability, Razorwing, followed by Hildryn.
- Prior to Hotfix 24.5.5 (2019-03-25), channeling Razorwing was not considered by the game to be properly airborne and could not benefit from Agility Drift or Aviator.
- True to her theme as a nimble faerie, Titania is a notably short Warframe, her otherwise imposing form helped by her ability to remain afloat with her signature animation sets.
