-'''The Age of Discovery''' is a time period in [[Covenant]] history. This Age took place during the [[Prophet-Elite War]]. It is believed that during this Age, the [[Prophet]]s (possibly with the help of the [[Engineers]]) discovered the remains of [[Forerunner]] [[technology]], probably giving birth to the Covenant religion with its central theme that the activation of the Halos would begin [[the Great Journey]] for the Covenant, leading them to salvation.
-This ''"Great Journey"'' would lead to the total destruction of anything within three radi of the galactic centre. It is unfortunate for the Covenant and all it's members that they are being led on a path to death by Prophets who did not understand the secrets or potential of Halo.
+'''Ages of Discovery''' are time periods in [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] history where great technological advancements or discoveries of [[Forerunner]] relics are made. It is believed that during one of these Ages, the [[San'Shyuum]] (possibly with the help of the [[Huragok]]), discovered the existence of the [[Halo Array]], giving birth to the [[Covenant religion]], with its central theme that its activation would begin the [[Covenant religion#The Great Journey|Great Journey]] for the Covenant, leading them to salvation. What they did not know is that activating the array would lead to the destruction of all sentient life in the galaxy.
