The '''Age of Abandonment''' is one of the first periods in [[History of the Covenant|Covenant history]]. | |||
The | ==History== | ||
===First Age of Abandonment=== | |||
The first age of Abandonment started on [[2200 BCE]] at the start of the [[Stoic-Reformist conflict]], and ended on [[2100 BCE]] when the conflicted ended with the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] leaving [[Janjur Qom]].<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 30''</ref> | |||
== | ==Background== | ||
It is speculated that the Age of Abandonment was the period of time when the [[Forerunner]]s activated the [[Halo Array]], or, as the Covenant put it, "embarked on the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]]". Covenant belief holds that the Forerunners departed from the universe when they used the "sacred rings" to ascended to a state of divinity. In actuality, the Forerunners perished when they activated the array and killed all sentient life in the galaxy in order to contain the [[The Flood|Flood]]. This event happened almost [[97,445 BCE|100,000 years prior]] to [[2552]]. | |||
