Fixed Point

Lore & Background

The Void is not merely a dimension of energy but a river of time where past, present, and future bleed together. Within this chaotic expanse exist Fixed Points—moments so significant that altering them would unravel reality. Ballas discovered this truth and sought to exploit it, believing he could save himself by undoing the events that created the Tenno as warriors. His ambition threatened to collapse history into a singularity where his version of order reigned supreme. The quest explores the philosophical weight of the Tenno's existence: they are weapons forged in tragedy, and their very presence is an anchor holding the timeline together against those who would reshape it.

In Their Own Story

The air hums with static as the fissure opens, a tear in reality glowing with violet light. Stepping through feels like falling upward into a memory that never happened. The Orokin towers loom above, pristine and untouched by decay, yet shadows move within them that do not belong to this age. A voice echoes from the golden halls, smooth and cold as polished steel. He watches you with eyes that have seen too many tomorrows die. You raise your weapon, knowing that striking him here might shatter everything. The Void whispers that some debts must be paid in blood before time can heal.

Reader's Guide

The journey begins when anomalies in the Void threaten the stability of history itself. The Tenno receive urgent guidance from the Lotus, directing them into a temporal fissure that leads back to the height of the Orokin Empire. This is not merely observation; the player must actively intervene to prevent a catastrophe orchestrated by Ballas. Traveling through shifting corridors of time, Tenno encounter echoes of ancient battles and corrupted constructs. The objective shifts from survival to protection as the antagonist attempts to alter a specific moment in history that defines the Tenno's existence. Combat takes place across surreal landscapes where gravity and reality bend unpredictably. The climax arrives within the Void itself, where Ballas reveals his true intent to rewrite destiny for personal gain. Players must defeat him before he can finalize the alteration. Success ensures the timeline remains intact, preserving the Tenno's legacy while leaving lingering questions about the cost of their power and the nature of time.
