    Kullervo, Kullervo, swaddled in lies
    Raised to a life of groans and cries
    Took to his task with sorrowing sighs
    Kullervo, Kullervo, death was his prize.
    Kullervo, Kullervo, stranger to mirth
    Spoke with the ragged who toiled in the earth
    Learned of the truth of the days of his birth
    Kullervo, Kullervo, what was he worth
    Kullervo, Kullervo, warrior born
    From his mother’s breast he was torn
    Doomed to go wandering all forlorn
    Kullervo, Kullervo, made to morn
    Kullervo, Kullervo, sworn to the sword
    Sweated and slaved for the head of the horde
    Bruised and bludgeoned and scard and gored
    Kullervo, Kullervo, warriors ward
    Kullervo, Kullervo, burdens he bore
    Many the woes and horrors he saw
    Tyrants and conquerors ravaging the poor.
    Kullervo, Kullervo, witness to war
    Kullervo, Kullervo, far he strayed
    Lips to the steel he blessed and prayed
    Whispered promises that boy made
    Kullervo, Kullervo, friend to the blade
    Kullervo, Kullervo, broke like a flood
    Ripped and he ravaged with a slash, slice, thud
    Many lay headless, armless in the mud
    Kullervo, Kullervo, bathed in blood
    Kullervo, Kullervo ragged and thin
    Tracked back the path so steeped in sin
    All the way back to where it did begin
    Kullervo, Kullervo, sought for his kin
    Kullervo, Kullervo, stood all alone
    Over the graves of the ones he’d known
    Homestead warmth turned to ashes and bone
    Kullervo, Kullervo, cold as stone
    Kullervo, Kullervo, long did he weep
    In his own breast his sword drove deep
    Down to the dark and a merciful sleep
    Kullervo, Kullervo, your secrets we keep.

    The existance of Kullervo is an interesting one, because him being a protowarframe means that we could see other protowarframes and even warframes that were thought to be completely destroyed through Duviri or other void shenanigans.
    Also, when Kullervo Prime comes, I predict he will look in style similar to Excalibur Umbra.

    So... Kullervo would be kind of cool if he got Proto Kullervo instead of Prime... Could be fun to have Warframes become more monstrous. Mouths, eyes, maybe thoughts we hear sometimes? Maybe we fight their control as we level it until mastery stops then fighting you? Could be a fun twist. Add back self damage then have Warframes that can take control and run away from points or run to kill more when they need to be defending the target. Self mutilation while they mock us? Could get weird.

    Ya know, kind of an off comment but if there is one thing I would love to see warframe do, is give us a proper look at the original Orokin capitol. Heck with Wally becoming more important to the story and we know he can show us images I think it could be neat to have a big story quest that throws us back to the original orokin empire, not a corrupted image like Duviri or the destroyed/empty remnants of Lua/the void towers. I would love to see the original council and the executioners in thier glory and the empire before its fall.

I would even like to have a quest in such surounding... something that would allow us to go through a day... or a week.. or a month living in such empire, but that would go too much out of Warframe and into RPG space (Which is not bad, but I doubt DE wishes that for Warframe)

    It certainly does sound like Kullervo is more of a proto frame, I suspect DE - if they ever expand on his lore - will go with something like Kullervo originally being a Dax soldier who was turned into a warframe as partial punishment for his crimes.
    As for the thought of a video on Kullervo's mythical inspirations, maybe you could do a series of videos where you dive into the stories/myths that served as inspirations for the frames.

  • @FoAmY99
    @FoAmY99 Год назад +9

    All this lore makes me want Warframe's next really big lore expansion to be where we somehow are able to re-live the events of the Old War. I want to see the Orokin Empire at its peak, or at least its peak during the Old War. Its a great way to expand upon exactly what was the tipping point, that caused virtually all Tenno to rise up and go full Exterminatus upon the Orokin. My understanding was that we Tenno were either manipulated or flat out mind controlled to slaughter all Orokin on sight, when the Old War ended; As some kind of one last Sentient fuck you to the Orokin, by turning their greatest weapons against them. But with Kullervo's lore, where he supposedly was poisoning the minds of the Tenno against the Orokin (like that's particularly difficult) implying that we WILLINGLY exterminated the Orokin, dooming the Origin System to utter chaos, and collapse.

    I don't know exactly how this would fit lore-wise (if there even is any lore to conflict), but I think an interesting potential 'proto-warframe' if they decided to expand in that route would be an infested necramech. It'd be an interesting idea to show the failures of the project and how it manifested in some half-sentient (as in aware not the sentients) but half bound by machinery psuedo-proto-warframe. Maybe the corn in the middle could've expanded to a kind of warframe itself and the rest of the necramech would simply be armour, and to represent the failed and tormented state you could choose between better warframe oriented skills in the main frame but a basically non-existent health pool or clunky movement and basic abilities but superior defence. How they would implement that I don't know but there's definitely lots of room to work with the concept.

    Like others theorise, these all sound like things Ballas, known traitor, would have done and pinned on Kullervo. The daggers in his body seem like a memento of betrayal/being murdered (Caesar-style).
    So, we've had "the seven crimes of Kullervo", imagine for his prime, "the seven exonerations of Kullervo". No longer driven by revenge, but justice.

    @krananananana2550 4 месяца назад +1

    I think it's important to take Kullervo's tale with a MASSIVE, GIGANTIC grain of salt, since Ballas is the one telling it. Y'know what I think? Kullervo was a scapegoat for Ballas' own crimes. I don't think he killed those orokin, or even his mother for that matter, I think Ballas is the one who orchestrated their deaths and placed the blame on Kullervo. A little theory of mine is that Kullervo's mother was one of the people Ballas wanted to get rid of, and he decided to go after her family first, that would be pretty typical of him, don't you think? To me, the guilt in Kullervo stems not from his crimes, but from his failures. His failure to help his fellow proto-frames, his failure to keep his mother safe, his failure to put down the lying snake who ruined his life and so many others.
    Kullervo is such an interesting character to me, because as far as I'm aware he's one of the few frames out there who mantained their sanity and personality (at least to some extent?), and not only that, he's still alive! I wish we could free him for good and get him out of duviri, and not just by building him in our foundry, y'know? I hope DE does more with him in the future, because it would feel like a waste to give him so much character (compared to some other frames at least) and then not expand on it even a little.

    • @THERATSANDTHERATS
      @THERATSANDTHERATS Год назад

      ​@@Okabe_Rintaro thats HORRIBLY incorrect, Umbra existed AFTER proto frames because Umbra had a transference bolt in him but kept his free will because Ballas was torturing him
      The Proto frames were effectively flesh golems with no real way to control them unless they were either loyal or effectively brain dead, and essentially psychosis was the usual outcome creating things like the Proto Rhino who was literally eating people like a wild beast.
      Also Umbra is called Umbra because of his containment on the moon or because thats just where he was kept for all eternity to keep reliving the same horrible memory over and over and over, its also related to the Tenno's own resting grounds because Lua is where the tenno also rested in their transference pods after the massacaring of the Orokin, to try and forget the painful memories of war and violence, something Umbra is also trying to forget, something we, who have moved past their trauma and pain, can now help Umbra do the same and be better.

Cause if Ballas set him up then kullveros’ cause was just, but otherwise it’s just a tragedy.

    My headcannon is that Kullervo is an Ordan Karris turned Warframe rather than Cephalon.
    With no operator to tie a guilty Beast of Bones to, Ballas turned him into a warframe instead as a form of attonement for his crimes.
    As a Cephalon, Ordan Karris was torn apart from who he once was; and Kullervo as we see, is also fragmented.
