The Mantle was not a government - it was "awarded" to them by someone else, hinted to be the [[Precursors]], and handed down to humans, who became as a consequence Reclaimers. I'm pretty sure the full name was the Mantle of Guardianship. '''Honour Light Your Way - ''' | ==Untitled== | ||

Note that the text says "the next stage of life". Could the Mantle instead refer to some kind of "ascension" from normal, physical existence? Could the Forerunners, and the Precursors before them, have had some way of enbarking on "the Great Journey"? | Note that the text says "the next stage of life".

While it does certainly put things in a new light, I don't think it necessarily changes anything in a fundamental way. No sources actually say that we were "discovered" during the Forerunner-Flood war; IRIS episode 5 just say that Earth is in "a perilous location beyond the line," which it was. The whole thing about the Forerunners annihilating humanity was so far in the past so as to be almost irrelevant at the time; a lot had changed since then, and I'm guessing the Forerunners (or at least the Librarian and co.) eventually realized that it had been a pretty big mistake. As such, they very well may have come to consider humanity as their successors. I'm sure the whole thing about us being able to defeat the Flood was a big part of it too [[User talk:SPARTAN-347|SPARTAN-347]] 22:57, 7 February 2011 (EST) | While it does certainly put things in a new light, I don't think it necessarily changes anything in a fundamental way.
