Only two known reliquary's are known. The first was likely the planet where the [[Sangheili]] and [[San 'Shyuum]] encountered each other, a world in Sangheili territory with Forerunner relics.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', pg. 147</ref> The second was the human-colonised world of [[Harvest]], which was glassed by the Covenant believing the humans had destroyed or stolen the relics present, leading to the [[Human-Covenant War]].


Only two reliquaries are known. The first was likely the planet Ulgethon, a world in [[Sangheili]] territory with [[Forerunner]] relics where the [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]] encountered each other.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 147''</ref> The second was the human-colonized world of [[Harvest]], which was glassed by the Covenant believing the [[humans]] had destroyed or stolen the relics present, leading to the [[Human-Covenant War]]. In reality, the signal being read by Covenant scans as Forerunner artifacts to be reclaimed were in fact individual human beings, who were all labeled as [[Reclaimer]]s until scanning technology was altered to prevent that knowledge from falling to the general Covenant populace.
The [[Sangheili]] homeworld of [[Sanghelios]] was a Reliquary, having it's [[Forerunner]] Artifacts start [[Elites|their]] religion and giving [[Elites|them]] a quick rise in the Technology Tiers.


Both the San'Shyuum homeworld of [[Janjur Qom]] and the Sangheili homeworld of [[Sanghelios]] were Reliquaries, with their [[Forerunner]] artifacts jump starting both their religious and [[Technological Achievement Tiers|technological]] progress.
