An Ascension is a Covenant ceremony in which three San 'Shyuum ascend to the rank of Hierarch and announce their names as Prophets to the Covenant.
Background
A monumental ceremony, it draws out thousands of spectators, due to it's rare occurrence. It takes place in High Charity, specifically on the Forerunner Dreadnought. Each San 'Shyuum ascends one of the three legs of the ship until they reach the place where 032 Mendicant Bias has been chained in order to receive the blessing from their "Oracle". They then address the crowd waiting below and declare their new names. [1]
