Template:Ratings Template:New Content The Forerunner caste system was a system used to rank Forerunners in society. Castes were divided into several tiers, including forms, rates, and Maniples.[1]
Practices
Adolescent Forerunners, known as Manipulars, were not associated with any particular caste. However, upon maturing, each individual Forerunner would be assigned to a caste, mostly in accordance with the caste of their parents. For example, Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting was expected to become a Builder like his father.
Each caste had their own ceremonial headgear, worn only on special occasions. However, on a certain day in the Grand Star Season, every Forerunner wore the same style.[1]
