The Elites | The Elites homeworld, [[Sanghelios]], that had at one point been visited by the [[Forerunners]], or had been in contact with the [[Forerunner]]s. They revered the objects these "Gods" had left, and considered tampering with them a heresy beyond any other. It was not long until they encountered the [[Prophets]], a race who also felt the Forerunners had found salvation, but had utilized their technology for their own needs. The Prophets had already suffered terrible losses from a Civil War based on the same argument they had with the Elites, and if it were not for the incredible power of the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], they would have perished. The Elites suffered extreme casualties from the [[Prophet]]s' hit and run techniques that utilized their "[[Key Ship]]" and it was not long before even the most devout had to admit their survival depended on the reconstitution of their [[Forerunner]] [[technology]]. This, of course, led both sides to an agreement that ended with the decommissioning of the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] and a shaky alliance that eventually expanded in the [[Covenant]]. | ||
The [[Prophets]] helped assuage the Elites by telling them more of the [[Great Journey]]: That by seeking out the [[Halo|Holy Rings]] scattered throughout the galaxy and utilizing them, a ''Great Journey'' would begin. This Great Journey would transform believers into godlike beings, while providing salvation for their doomed existence of fighting with the [[Flood]]. The Elites then became the bodyguards of the Prophets, who would search the galaxy for the [[Halos]].<ref>[[Media:Binding Covenant.ogg|Halo 2 dialog]] - [[Prophet of Regret]]</ref> The [[Writ of Union]] was drawn up in order to codify the [[Covenant]].
