The '''Rh'tol''' are one of the two main skeins or "meta-[[clan]]s" of the [[Jiralhanae]] culture, with the other being the [[Vheiloth]] skein.

The Jiralhanae of the Rh'tol skein came into conflict with the more sophisticated Vheiloth skein, resulting in a brutal, decade-long civil war known as the "[[Great Immolation]]", initiated by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Rukt]] of the Rh'tol skein. | The Jiralhanae of the Rh'tol skein came into conflict with the more sophisticated Vheiloth skein, resulting in a brutal, decade-long civil war known as the "[[Great Immolation]]", initiated by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Rukt]] of the Rh'tol skein.<ref name="waypointarticle">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/fist-of-rukt '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Fist of Rukt'']</ref> The war set [[Doisac]] ablaze and almost brought the entire species to extinction by the use of [[nuclear weapon]]s. After the Great Immolation, both skeins were driven back several hundred years in science and machinery. Both sides would bear survivors, who would later come to fight the [[Covenant]] upon its arrival.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} The Jiralhanae of the Rh'tol skein did not care much for technology, and were not troubled by the loss of technology their civil war brought. Many feared that the species had become too dependent on technology.<ref name="fuss62">'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "[[Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss]]", ''pages 62-63''</ref> | ||

When the Covenant arrived to Doisac and absorbed the Jiralhanae in [[2492]], the members of the Rh'tol skeins adopted the Covenant philosophy, but only believed for strictly practical reasons, ultimately the result of blind subjugation to power. This generated a cultural friction and competitive infighting common to their kind, but for the time being, these tensions were controlled by Covenant leadership.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} Many Jiralhanae of this skein never completely believed in the [[Covenant religion]] or the Great Journey. Some looked upon the [[San'Shyuum]] with disdain for giving the Jiralhanae access to advanced technology, as these individuals did not want their species to become reliant on it.{{Ref/Reuse| | When the Covenant arrived to Doisac and absorbed the Jiralhanae in [[2492]], the members of the Rh'tol skeins adopted the Covenant philosophy, but only believed for strictly practical reasons, ultimately the result of blind subjugation to power.

At the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] covertly assisted [[Tartarus]], a chieftain and a member of the Rh'tol skein, with gaining authority in the Covenant empire. Soon, Tartarus controlled a majority of the Rh'tol skein, and later elevated to [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|a position]] of command over all Jiralhanae in the Covenant. Ultimately, Truth placed Tartarus in command of the [[Covenant military]], installing Jiralhanae to positions typically held by [[Sangheili]]. Truth then armed and positioned Tartarus and his Jiralhanae to initiate a coup against the Sangheili, leading to the [[Great Schism]], a civil war that tore apart the Covenant. The resulting conflict brought an end to both the Covenant Empire and the Human-Covenant War, with the death of Tartarus.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} | At the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] covertly assisted [[Tartarus]], a chieftain and a member of the Rh'tol skein, with gaining authority in the Covenant empire.
