The Ages of Conflict are time periods in Covenant history where the Covenant suffered from large internal or external conflicts. There have been 39 Ages of Conflict, two of which are known of to date.

History

The First Age of Conflict

A Covenant mural depicting the war.

The First Age of Conflict may have happened many thousands of years after the Age of Abandonment. It is believed that in this Age, the Sangheili and the San 'Shyuum started the Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War, due to different religious beliefs in the treatment of Forerunner objects.[1][2]

The Thirty-Ninth Age of Conflict

The 39th Age of Conflict was ushered in by the Unggoy Rebellion, which arose from a long list of grievances finally set aflame with the Infusion Incident. This Age of Conflict led on to the 23rd Age of Doubt.[3]

Progression of the Ages

During the Progression of the Ages, an appropriate dialogue is as followed:[4]

Leader, or Chieftain: Conflict.
Congregation, or Pack: The Second Age! Rivalry and bloodshed!

In the ritual, the Ages of Conflict are represented by iron.[4]
