The Call of the Tempestarii introduced the fascinating story of Sevagoth, the Captain of a Ghost Ship that drifts through void storms. The fierce Vala Glarios pursues the Temperstarii into dangerous space for some unknown reason.

Let's explore what we know about the mysterious Warframe, his Shadow and his connection to the Railjack known as the Tempestarii.

    This answered the doubts I had . So sevagoth is dead , the shadow was created by the void and the Blueprint we got is the void build of sevagoth which is far different from the original one
  • @silent0089
    tldr: Sevagoth's stand's mission is to rescue his Stand user
  • @bananajoe8370
    So ya all gonna ignore the fact that sevagoth is the ONLY warframe that can talk? Also releasing sevagoth prime would be wierd because he does exist since the orokin era.
  • So the sevagoth we use is more likely one version of the original. The void gives you a version of sevagoth (at a certain time) it created.

    Your Cold Below video improved a lot on this one by adding independent research! Here's some extra symbolism with Sevagoth though. He's patterned in some ways after a shinigami, hence the heavy use of white as a death-symbolizing color as opposed to Nekros' black. Nekros is actually more of a necromancer; Sevagoth is more directly a Grim Reaper archetype. Now, what's interesting about that is that the Grim Reaper, shinigami, and others of that ilk are collectively referred to as psychopomps; their role is not to raise the dead or necessarily to kill, but to guide the souls of the dead to the afterlife. That's why the Charon symbolism is present in Cold Below - Sevagoth is also Warframe's Charon, ferryman of the dead. Except for one thing: Sevagoth is a savior of lives. He guides lost souls away from death rather than toward it, at least in the lore. As a Warframe he does what one might expect of a reaper - send our enemies to the other side - but as a character, Sevagoth is a neat little inversion. There's something that could be read into all that from the Orokin fascination with dualism, I suppose - that the guide between the living and dead realms goes both ways. Also, I interpreted the Shadow as such: It was part of the original Warframe, but Void energy is what keeps it animated, able to stay autonomous despite the loss of Sevagoth. So we're not getting a vastly different Warframe like Valkyr presumably should have been (Prime being expedient for gameplay, I suppose), but rather, what the Warframe was originally like, only able to separate his Shadow for a limited time rather than the Shadow being a semi-living remnant that persists indefinitely and searches for its owner.

    Just finished the quest. I had alot of questions, glad to see you had a video already out
  • @mattin5850
    For some reason I think Cy was tempestari's Cephalon
  • @plate_fox
    What I want to know is why a rescue ship has some kind of void nuke or whatever that thing was. You would think it would be built for speed and just have enough offensive to fend off whatever it’s trying to save people from and wouldn’t need a weapon that powerful
  • @TheMindefer
    I felt that The ending where Vala Glarios met Parvos Granum is the time she's the only survivor of the first ship she's in where she mentioned that her sisters, or probably crewmembers, died And the story you're playing was Vala Glarios' Revenge against the Temperstarii but failed due to the Tenno,You, interventions . and as she sings, she's with her sister now as her ship explodes
  • I like to think his head is shaped like that because he’s a railjack captain and boards ships by shooting himself into them and his melee focused skills tell the rest of the story
  • @Srt_resium
    Sevagoth is my favourite warframe because of his adaptability in combat Reap cutting the enemy’s health Gloom slowing enemies His shadow shredding flesh and steel alike I have replaced sow with valkiers warcry to decrease speed further
  • @jamesmclaren4
    I need to get back into this. New frame looks slick.
  • @sixeswild274
    Different from original spec, kinda long the same vein as Revenant then perhaps, who was molded by Sentient energy instead of Void?
