Mantle: Difference between revisions

The '''Mantle of Responsibility''',<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level ''[[Epilogue (Halo 4 level)|Epilogue]]''</ref> commonly referred to as the '''Mantle''', was a [[Forerunner]] belief system in which the Forerunners upheld they were required to protect and promote life. Bridging the social strata between an interstellar Marshall Plan and a religious, but benevolent stewardship, the Forerunners took responsibility for the protection and cultivation of the species and planetary systems within their domain.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 164''</ref> The Mantle was based around the concept of [[Living Time]]; "the joy of life's interaction with the Cosmos". This was also the origin of all of the complex rules involved in the Mantle.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 267''</ref>
