Marontik and Djamonkin Crater = New Mombasa??
In a part of the epilogue, the Forerunners and their ships are "near where Marontik was" and "a huge Forerunner artifact" is there, half buried. Whereas the latter description matches the Portal seen in Halo 3, and that Marontik was between two rivers, I think Marontik and the Djamonkin Crater were close to what would be New Mombasa. Which brings me to another conjecture: Could it be what the Prophet of Truth and the Huragok discovered at the legendary ending of Halo 3: ODST was a tunnel to where the Ur-Didact's first Cryptum was? --They&#39;re coming.

 * I did consider the same thing, but in Primordium, it's noted that Marontik was located deep inland and Chakas had never seen an ocean, which rules out Mombasa. It's likely to be somewhere in Africa, though what Forerunners consider nearby could extend to a pretty wide radius. Such as another location with two great rivers, also often considered to be the cradle of civilization - Mesopotamia. Primordium also gives another hint at Marontik's location: Mara used to live "not so far" from where Chakas was born, and Gigantopithecus fossils have been found in modern-day China, India and Vietnam - again, the distance is vaguely defined, but the general area is sufficiently close to be comfortably understood as being near ancient Mesopotamia. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 02:30, 30 June 2013 (EDT)

Name
Was this ever officially called Halo: Rebirth? On Waypoint it's just called Rebirth. I'm not saying the current name isn't real, maybe I just don't know where it was mentioned. But thus far, I thought the name was just Rebirth. Adding "Halo:" before the media's name makes it sound like it's the official name. Imrane-117 (talk) 19:24, 21 July 2013 (EDT)

Erik/Chloe
This may be the first time Halopedia has needed to determine this, so how should we refer to Greg Bear's transgender daughter Chloe who was still identifying as Erik at the time Rebirth was written?TheEld (talk) 16:25, May 26, 2019 (EDT)TheEld


 * Ok I wont lie that is a really good question. One we should really discuss cause as the franchise progresses we probably will encounter a few times.


 * At the moment however I may recommend following Wikipedias several Manual of styles on Identity till we can get a internal Manual of Style written up for Halopedia.


 * The only thing 100% we should not remove/change is the "Transcript". For better or worse they are stated as "Erik" there. If a future version is released with the updated name. The newest version will be used with the old name being relegated to trivia. (Which is a possibility actually with Silentium getting a 2019 edition).-CIA391 (talk) 14:30, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
