'''''Promises to Keep''''' is one of several short stories in ''[[Halo: Fractures|Halo: Fractures: Extraordinary Tales from the Halo Canon]]''. Written by [[Christie Golden]], the story takes place in the closing days of known [[Forerunner]] history following the events of [[Greg Bear]]'s ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]'',<ref name="bbb">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/books-browsers-and-big-team '''Halo Waypoint''' - '' Books, Browsers, and Big Team'']</ref> as a group of surviving Forerunners embark on a perilous journey to the devastated [[Maethrillian|capital world]] of the [[ecumene]] in order to restore the [[Domain]]. Due to the revelation of [[Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns]] being [[000 Tragic Solitude]], it has narrative connections to ''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''.
