The '''Fire and Repentance Codices''' are an ancient and oral ritual cited by [[Covenant]] [[Shipmaster]]s, originating in the [[History of the Covenant|first age]] of the Covenant's history - presumably that of the [[Ages of Reconciliation|First Age of Reconciliation]].{{Ref/Note|The codices' name of ''repentance'', combined with sections of them directly quoting the Writ of Union signed at the end of the Covenant's foundational [[War of Beginnings]], would indicate that the codices were written during the First Age of Reconciliation, as opposed to the First Age of Conflict.}} The Codices are a series of ritual greetings and responses given by a shipmaster and a subordinate seemingly once a task has been assigned; during the [[Onyx Conflict]], [[Fleetmaster]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] and Shipmaster [[Qunu]] of the [[Covenant destroyer|destroyer]] ''[[Far Sight Lost]]'' repeated several responses of the codices following Qunu's tasking to contact the [[Onyx Sentinel|guardians]] of [[Onyx]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=GoO30|GoO|Chapter=30}}
The '''Fire and Repentance Codices''' are an ancient and oral ritual cited by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Shipmaster]]s. The Codices were a series of ritual greetings and responses. It is known that Ship Master [[Qunu]] of the [[Covenant destroyer|destroyer]] ''[[Far Sight Lost]]'' had an unmatched knowledge of the Codices.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 278-279''</ref>


Qunu was noted by 'Mantakree to have had an unmatched knowledge of the codices, resulting in the fleetmaster electing to assign the honourable task of contacting the planet's defenders to the subordinate shipmaster.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO30}}
