Ages of Reconciliation

During the Ages of Reconciliation the Prophets shared the information they had learned about the Forerunners with the Elites. The Elites and the Prophets made a truce in order to unite and form the Covenant, with the Elites being promised salvation in exchange for their services as the military and for their protection of the Prophets. Presumably, this is when the Covenant Writ of Union was created although it may have been later on when more races joined in servitude to the Prophets. The Covenant ship Truth and Reconciliation that appeared on Alpha Halo might have been named after this time and after Truth, the High Prophet.

The Ages of Reconciliation are represented by polished jade panels on the Covenant holy city of High Charity in the Prophets' sanctuary.
