thought since he both formed duviri and duviri molded him that id try to alter his diviris courtiers to have aspects of my drifter bleed into them and also some symbolic void angel aspects on them.
Murderous Comedy X Inky Tragedy
Duviri's writing is interesting in that the courtiers, in a sense, feel like an act of capitulation to the storytelling and characterization limitations of games-as-a-service- the instrumental and perfunctory role that mission givers and bosses tend to have to hold in games like this, if only for reasons of development time and resource allocation. Five endearingly-colorful weirdos who're fun to have as the voice in your ear for a few minutes at a time on repetitive missions.... who are textually only semi-real people, metastasized imaginary friends who exist only to play out the just-so stories for which they were created again, and again, and again, all just sapient enough to express some level of resentment at the fact that they're incapable of character development, existing only to be the mission control and final boss whenever you feel like going on a roguelike jaunt.
I can mow Grineer and Corpus down like wheat without a ton of dissonance- the realities of live-service games aside, if you take the premise at face value those missions are presented as actually being in service of something. But the metatextual stage-play premise of Duviri kind of invites me to feel like my character is, within the narrative, being extraneously awful to someone by choosing to continue to engage at all with the play-acting. It's all very interesting.
Dialogue from Isleweaver regarding Albrecht Entrati (the Scholar)
Thrax
"The entity the Scholar warned of, the Wall's other face. It's here! It broke into Mathila's spiral. It sits on my throne and mocks me! We have to stop her, Drifter. Fighting together, side by side, like the old days. For our people. I shall await you in person, in the hermit's hovel." (greeting the Drifter for the first time)
"Remember what the Scholar told us. The Fragmented Ones tether down the Strands of Khra that weave her false Duviri. Get to the heart of her power, call forth the beast, then kill it."
"Remember what the Scholar said. It mocks us because it fears us."
"The Scholar told us what to do. Shut her up in the Apocrypha."
"If you see the Scholar again, tell him his work was not finished here! Why did he abandon us?"
"Do not trust the Spider. It serves the Scholar no more."
"Remember what the Scholar told us. The Fragmented Ones tether down the Strands of Khra that weave her false Duviri. Get to the heart of her power, call forth the beast, then kill it." (if the Tenno speaks to Thrax)
"Oraxia. The Scholar's pet. I heard the Usurper imitating his voice. The spider is her servant now." (Find Oraxia's lair)
Mathila
"We have to delve deep, beyond the madness. Unlock the reserves the Scholar instructed us to keep!" (Energise the shrine)
"The Scholar knew this day was coming. He prepared for it. Hid things. Find them!" (Find the hidden chest)
"The wise Paragrimms were the Scholar's friends. Look through their eyes to find the eyes of the beast!" (Locate the eyes of Indifference)
Rusalka
"This is where he ran to first. His old workshop! Too bad I have the keys, kiddo." (Spiral start)
"Poor little Thrax. The monster from Albrecht's stories finally came for him." (first stage)
"Look at it, this edifice of guilt. He knew what he did. What he took." (third stage)
"This is where he stowed it away. The secret of my lost flesh. Not lost. Stolen." (third stage)
"You and Albrecht were pretty close in his Duviri days, weren't you, kiddo? Don't say you've forgotten." (Locate the eyes of Indifference)
"Don't expect too much from the Scholar's writings. Most of it is just tortured love poetry." (Recover the Scholar's artefacts)
"Remorse, remorse, remorse. That's all you'll find in those sainted pages." (Recover the Scholar's artefacts)
"Come on, my beautiful scuttler! Secure this kingdom for me, and I will feed you as your old master never did!" (when Oraxia has a third health remaining)
"Albrecht left nothing but dust and darkling spiders in his wake. Isn't it time for a new story?" (when Oraxia has a third health remaining)
[laughs] "Not very nice, kiddo. Albrecht wanted her to help you." (after defeating Oraxia)
"Ah, the Crucibles. One of Albrecht's many sins. Try and finish his work. See what happens to you." (Alchemy mission start)
"If you came here to use Albrecht's Crucibles, the only thing you'll create is a corpse. Yours." (Alchemy mission start)
"Albrecht's Crucibles. Crimes against the laws of nature. Do not think for a second that I will let you desecrate my kingdom with your element mixing." (Alchemy mission start)

a gay server for the gayest game of all time
hi! are you a warframe player thats lgbt+, interested in finding a chill and welcoming community, and enjoy fawning over robots? i have the server for you! LGBTFRAME is an established discord community with over 25+ members! We have an established clan (now with crossplay), and have a channel for trading, in-game help and questions, recruting, and more!
we try to foster a community that's supportive and inclusive, and we do this in a multitude of ways; consistent and vigilant moderation, the use of Pluralkit bot for those who need it, and a variety of channels to discuss real-world issues and problems (which is moderated EVEN more heavily), we try to make sure everyone who wants to feel welcome does feel that way!
A couple of things to keep in mind:
Our server is 18+ ONLY. Please, do not lie about this to get in the server; while we do maintain only a channel to discuss NSFW topics, the actual nature of the server is not NSFW. (Warframe is technically only for people 17 and up anyway, so please don't waste my time asking for an invite if ur not over 18.)
Goes without saying: nazis, terfs, zionists, and bigots of all backgrounds need not apply! You would probably not like the server much anyway; it's mostly gay commies lol
Please message me either with an ask or an actual message (which is preferable) if you're interested in joining after reading those qualifications. Don't hesitate to reach out with other questions!

Finally! A connection was possible and I pulled Eleanor through into Duviri with me. Even better, it was during one of Mathila's spirals!
She fought well in the Undercroft. I'm looking forward to sitting down with Eleanor once she's had time to process the trip and we can really sink our teeth into the discussion of Duviri and the Void.
One can not escape Duviri's spiral without facing the currently ruling Courtier. I know Eleanor was delighted to meet an Orowyrm in person. She has a personal frame of reference for that mural she's been planning now. Truly a joyful victory!
