The Progression of the Ages is a ceremony performed by any devout Jiralhanae follower of the Great Journey before a meal or important undertaking.[2]
During the ceremony, the leader of the group steps through rings of obsidian, iron, jade, geodes, opal, and other stones (each representing an Age of the Covenant).[2]
| Obsidian | Age of Abandonment |
| Iron | Age of Conflict |
| Jade | Age of Reconciliation |
| Geodes | Age of Discovery |
| Unknown | Age of Conversion |
| Opal | Age of Doubt |
| Unknown Forerunner alloy | Age of Reclamation |
Chieftain Maccabeus performed the Progression of the Ages prior to eating the Thorn Beast on Rapid Conversion, to give thanks for the ship's safe jump.[2]
