==Lore & History==
=== General ===
The Warframe Nezha has been known far before the Orokin Fall. A swift warrior, his tales have reached the farthest reaches of the Origin System, sparking hope in any who hear them.
Once such location in Nezha's myth is the farmland of Reshantur. It is unknown what the exact relation is between Nezha and Reshantur, although various relics of the Warframe were a common find throughout its fields. Some would be unearthed and turned in out of fear, or for hopes of food, while others would be kept, becoming objects of worship for a group known as the Children of Reshantur.
The Children of Reshantur was a cult-like clan of children. Since MOAs and other defensive instruments were too expensive to defend the farmlands, the children instead chose to defend it themselves. Based on Nezha's tales of courage, they chose him as the clan's patron and protector. The children swore oaths of dedication and loyalty to the legendary figure, swearing to defend Reshantur's fields to the very last drop of their blood.
Every day, the clan trained in the ruins of an old abandoned temple, and even fashioned improved weapons and uniforms from repurposed farming equipment, such as fertilizer bags, wood, and cloth; all were based on the weapons and gear of Nezha himself.

After the collapse of the , and the attempted assassination of Parvos Granum, the farmland Reshantur become a lawless and cutthroat shadow of its former self. Overrun with control, the farmers of Reshantur merely became servants, as the fields they tended and plowed would never belong to them.
Bloody land grabs became a routine; every brutal takeover resulted in those who rebelled being slain, with their corpses becoming fertilizer for the next yield of crops, which in turn were tended to by the survivors. This led to an overall population decrease, as there were not enough adults left to both defend and care for the crops. To remedy this, the children banded together to form a cult known as the Children of Reshantur.
The massacre started off as just any other day, except for the children. With filthy syandanas donned and flimsy spears readied, the child warriors began to charge at their oppressors. The Corpus took aim, prepared to open fire upon the swarming mass of adolescents. However, almost immediately, the farmland was wreathed in flame.
After the massacre, Reshantur became the site of a Corpus archaeological excavation, resulting in the discovery of various relics; Nezha's was found within the children's temple, while their spears and syandanas were unearthed from the scorched earth of the attack. Corpus surveyor, Jena Xasparin, was sent to look over the excavation. At the site, she found a solitary boy in the middle of a field, wearing Nezha's Circa helmet. The field he was in was filled with the corpses and cadavers of slain Corpus troops; some were dismembered, others were impaled, all were burned.
"Nezha did it." the boy said calmly. He claimed that Nezha descended from the sky, tearing the Corpus apart with rings of fire. The fiery footsteps from Nezha's would raze the ground, burning the earth wherever his feet touched. Any child that fell was healed by Nezha and rose to continue their fight. The boy also claimed that all the other children had gone with Nezha to be a part of his celestial army, and that he stayed behind to tell the story.
