Halo: Whispers from the Pyre Halo: From the Soil to the Stars

Halo: From the Soil to the Stars is an entry in the Halo Waypoint Chronicle series of short stories published by Halo Studios, intended for release on March 12, 2025. It is set to coincide with the Blue Team multiplayer event in Halo Infinite and follows the members of Blue Team testing their new MJOLNIR [GEN3] armors weeks before their return to Reach in Operation: WOLFE, an event narrated in the novel Halo: Shadows of Reach. The chronicle fleshes out the Step Inside trailer, taking place around the same planet and space station. The story's name comes from the phrase written at the end of the Lightbringers trailer for Halo Infinite.
