Do you think whatever was left of Amar recognized the operator in the Drifter during New War.

Do you think that his sanity returned in that moment before his death as his old friend, equally as changed by time and hardship finally led him to rest?

Only to look into Drifter's eyes and see no recognition or compassion, and realized in that final moment that he himself had been contorted into something unrecognizable and beyond redemption? Never knowing that the person standing before him was not his old friend, but a stranger?

I'm so exited for Warframe: 1999, like nobody has any idea. Aoi looks so good! I really hope we get a Mag skin to resemble her because I'm getting sick of the 3 standard skins. I really want whatever Arthur's modified Skana is, and all the other protoframes look good too but Mag's my main girl Speaking of, I think it's a shame we didn't get Archon Helmets/Signas. It would have been a fun way to make the drop table a bit more varied from sorties, and they could bring back the concept of Arcane helmets for it. Like a helmet that takes up some amount of Archon slots for a larger bonus than normal from that crystal type, it could have been a fun way to give a small bonus to older frames. I'd even take just an Archon helmet in general, at this point.

I’ve been considering working the Archons into Children of Sol. But I don’t know which one I want to give the most relevance. So poll!

Which Archon should get the lost screen time in COS?

Amar

Boreal

Nira

I was reading through OrokinArchive (it's a very cool website, I 100% recommend checking it out) and I spotted something I never really noticed. The archons are people. Moreover, they remind me of three types of people in the origin system.

Let me begin with the Owl. Solitary and thinking himself above all, only recognizing the Ram as an equal, Boreal feels hatred for what was done to him. Mutilated, grafted onto the body of this abomination. Just like Umbra, just like Dagath, and perhaps like Arthur. Unwillingly turned into a weapon. In a way, Pazuul is his revenge for what Erra had done to him.

Amar has the least about him in this tale. The Wolf was simply a hunter with no prey. I can't say much about him unless there's something in his codex entry that I don't have. My best guess is that he actively chose to become an archon, promised this New Creation and hoped to become a lord of Tau. The only parallel I can draw is of the Zariman colonists. Choosing (probably not entirely of their own volition) to go on a dangerous mission to Tau and hoping for a new and better life. Instead they became a weapon of something greater. Just like Amar but did not become a trophy like he did.

Finally, the Snake. Nira is old, full of secrets, and with a forked silver tongue. Her venom poisoning those it afflicts with delusions. The Snake would go so far as to devour her own siblings. Nira reminds me of the Orokin and their greed. A class of people who'd keep secrets from their entire empire, sweet talkers who would always get what they wanted regardless of how many they'd hurt. Yet they were greedy, willing to descend into delusional madness to get what they want.

I don't think Pazuul is the Ram. I believe that the Lotus is wrong. I think Pazuul is simply a cruel mask placed on Erra to get what the archons want. Besides, keeping Natah's brother under what is essentially a veil. Playing with her guilt at times, and forcing her to hear one of her greatest failures? Sounds like something at least Boreal would do.

And well, Pazuul doesn't have his own shard color. In his head is a fragment of a serpent's amber venom. Feeding him delusions to keep the herd of bios subservient.
