The '''Age of Conflict''' would have happened many thousands of years after the [[Age of Abandonment]]. It is believed that in this Age the [[Elites]] and [[Prophets]] began fighting each other. It is not yet known why the war started. This Age may have lasted for thousand's of years, because the war went on for an extremely long time, but it definitely would have ended with a truce, when the prophet's told the Elite's of the [[Forerunners]].


''Note: There could be several Ages of Conflict. If there are, they would have presumably been created upon some major new development that influenced the war.''
The '''Ages of Conflict''' was the second [[Age]] in the [[Covenant]] Age system.{{Ref/Reuse|Harvest196}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=189}} There have been 39 known Ages of Conflict, each being time periods in [[Covenant]] [[History of the Covenant|history]] where the Covenant suffered from large internal or external conflicts.
