Mantle: Difference between revisions

The Mantle is represented by a [[Forerunner symbols|glyph]] comprising a series of angular, branching lines framed by a circle. This glyph is ubiquitous in Forerunner art, architecture and technology due to the Mantle's wholesome influence on every aspect of Forerunner life. Many Forerunners, mainly [[Builder]]s, referred to this symbol as the Tree-mark, due to its resemblance to a heavily stylized tree; among [[Lifeworker]]s, it was also known as the Eld. While the Forerunners had associated the symbol with the Mantle throughout their history, its origin had been long forgotten. The symbol was also observed among the [[Path Kethona Forerunner|primitive Forerunner relatives]] in [[Path Kethona]], who were isolated from the mainline population living in the Milky Way galaxy over ten million years earlier.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 142-143''</ref>
