Covenant religion: Difference between revisions

The Covenant religion reached its zenith when [[Fleet of Particular Justice|a Covenant fleet]] discovered their first "[[Installation 04|Sacred Ring]]". This discovery called for the presence of the holy city ''[[High Charity]]'' to bear witness this great revelation. However, efforts to ignite the ring was prevented by [[SPARTAN-II|a demon]] of the UNSC, who destroyed relic without hesitation. This sacrilege filled the hearts of many with grief, having come so close to the fulfillment of the Great Journey. However, only a month later another "[[Installation 05|Sacred Ring]]" was discovered when the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] made a slipspace travel to the [[Coelest system]]. However, the Covenant was once again denied in their efforts. Then, the unthinkable occurred: a demon killed the High Prophet of Regret, a member of the political and religious triumvirate that ruled the Covenant. This unfortunate event gave rise of the Jiralhanae in [[Changing of the Guard|taking over]] the role of the Sangheili in the Covenant Empire. The Sangheili was also subsequently expunged from the Covenant Empire following the events of the [[Great Schism]]. Though not destroyed, this second Sacred Ring along with the other Halos were put on a standby mode as a result of the battle. They could only be activated by a central hub known simply as [[installation 00|the Ark]].
