Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant: Difference between revisions
→A Long Wait: The Heresy of the Chosen was not a a period or an event; it was the Covenant’s term for the heretical idea that the Humans, rather than the San’Shyuum, were the species the Forerunners intended to inherit their technology. What Dhas Basvod refers to here is his silencing of those suspected of noticing Humanity’s particular compatibility with “holy relics,” and certainly of those suspected of sharing this revelation with others. [sarcasm]Isn’t religious orthodoxy fun?[/sarcasm]

Many began to fear that they would perish on a dead world far removed from their home stars and for nothing but the vanity of a dead Hierarch. Unwilling to let that stand, [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]] culled over the course of twenty cycles as many heretics as he had culled for Truth | For a hundred cycles the loyalists waited, believing that the firing of the Halo meant that the Prophet of Truth had succeeded and they would thus be called to Transcendence at any moment.
