The First Immolation, also referred to as the great civil war,[1] was vicious, decade-long Jiralhanae civil war that took place on the species' homeworld of Doisac.[2]
History
Prior to the civil war, the Jiralhanae had become a technological Tier 4 species. However, the Jiralhanae's various master-packs began a widespread mechanized war of attrition across Doisac due to their war-like nature.[3] The war was started by the powerful Chieftain Rukt.[4] While the Jiralhanae are divided into numerous pack-like clans, almost all of the clans were divided into two belligerent skeins: the Rh'tol and the Vheiloth. Chieftain Rukt and his clan were a part of the more primitive Rh'tol skein. Each skein was fueled by their pursuit of power and control.
Eventually, the Rh'tol and the Vheiloth collided when a long-term engagement over a territorial dispute took a sudden and violent turn. The civil war lasted a decade as the Jiralhanae set their homeworld ablaze in conflict and nearly caused their species' own extinction. Nuclear weapons heavily damaged the planet and killed numerous Jiralhanae.[2] Parabum's and Ceretus' clans battled each other before and during the conflict.[1] Though most battles in the war were brief, the effects of the First Immolation proved devastating to Jiralhanae society.[2]
Aftermath
The war caused the Jiralhanae to regress to the a Tier 6 industrial society. Some clans were ashamed that the Jiralhanae had lost hundreds of years of technological progress after the war, while other clans were not bothered by the technological loss as they believed that the species was becoming too dependent on technology.[1] The Battle of Gbraakon occurred shortly after the First Immolation.[5] When the Covenant discovered Doisac in 2492, the Jiralhanae were just rediscovering radio and rocketry.[3] Survivors from the Rh'tol and the Vheiloth skeins would both serve in the Covenant.[2] Some clans were grateful for the technology the Covenant would provide, replacing what the Jiralhanae lost in the war.[1]
