The Warframe Wiki provides extensive guides on various aspects of the game, including detailed information on mission types and lore fragments. One such lore fragment, 'Friendship,' is found on Earth within the Plains of Eidolon and requires one scan to uncover its story. This fragment delves into the Ostron culture, where mutual support and protection are key traits, especially given the historical presence of Eidolons, Grineer war parties, and the foundational challenges of Cetus.
The lore of 'Friendship' describes the word 'cetus' in the Ostron tongue as 'landless, cladeless; a body turned to dust turned to mores on a careless wind.' Cetus was founded as a home for anyone, regardless of their background, fostering lifelong friendships. This mutual support was vital in the early days when Eidolons roamed the Plains, walls were low, and Grineer war parties pressed in. As times improved, this trait became a core part of Ostron culture.
Another significant lore piece involves Gara and the Tower of the Unum. The Unum, a lodestone of the people and subject of many stories, withstood a Sentient attack that felled other Towers. This Sentient was a deformed, massive creature from distant space, wounded by daylight. By night, it terrorized, destroying Citadels, but by day it hid, blinded and pained. Gara roamed during the day, seeking to strike the weakened Sentient to safeguard her beloved Unum, but she could never find it. Onkko's transmission further elaborates that by night, the Sentient's titanic mass cast a terrible shadow, railing against the Tower walls, kept at bay only by the Unum's colossal will and the sacrifice of the faithful. Gara yearned to attack the monstrosity, but the Unum forbade it.
