Covenant religion: Difference between revisions

'''The Great Journey''' is a central theme for the [[Covenant]] and its theocratic government; it is their ultimate goal. It is also that which stopped the war between the Prophets and the Elites. The Covenant believe that their ancestors, the [[Forerunner|Forerunners]], used the [[Halos|Sacred Rings]] to cleanse the universe of all that is unholy, escaping a doomed existence of fighting an endless struggle against the [[The Flood|Flood]], and allowing them to transcend into gods, giving them ancient and unlimited power. The Covenant wish to activate the Halo installations to wipe out [[Human|humanity]] and the [[The Flood|Flood]], which would provide salvation for their doomed existence and allow them to follow the Forerunners to their mysterious destination, where they will share in their power. In Covenant Religious terms the Flood are known as one of the many "obstacles" or "tests" that the covenant must pass to begin the Great Journey.
