According to the [[Luminary]] of the ''[[Minor Transgression]]'', the world was filled with [[Forerunner symbols|Forerunner glyphs]], which the Covenant misinterpreted as "Reclamation". The true meaning, however, was "Reclaimer", and every human was covered with such a glyph, denoting them as the [[Reclaimer]]s of the Forerunners. The Minister of Fortitude understood this revelation would shatter the Covenant's confidence in the teachings of the Prophets and the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]], and thus declared humanity as a species to be heretics who threatened holy Forerunner relics and worlds. He was also sure that the war would lead them to other Relics that the Covenant could reclaim, and finally the [[Halo Array|Sacred Rings]], beginning the Great Journey. This reasoning led the Covenant to begin the twenty-seven year long war with Humanity. | ||
