So, the long short of it is I guess this. The Void is for a lack of a better term a higher dimensional intelligence that for all intensive purposes is an Old One ala Eldritch Horror Cthulhu-ish whatever. That the Tenno are in a way like extra sensory appendages of it so it can better observe the lower dimensions we occupy. That through this the Tenno are probability engines that are walking talking causality nexuses, that through their actions the set the path which the throw of the dice will fall. Well this just got a lot deeper than. Lets hope no one makes a Tenno mad, or we all may blink out of existence via wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.
