A Halo themed campaign for Aurora 2.0. I am very excited to announce this After Action Report which has been months in preparation! I'll be writing updates once 2.0 drops!
"Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument."
In 938 BCE the San-Shyuum aboard an ancient Forerunner dreadnought encountered the Sangheili in the Sanghelios system. The San-Shyuum sought the planet of Sanghelios for its abundance of Forerunner materials and artifacts. The two races clashed over ideological differences on how these relics should be treated. The San-Shyuum wished to utilize the relics to progress technology while the Sangheili demanded reverence for the ancient Forerunners. The war between the Sangheili and the San-Shyuum lasted for eighty-six years. Although the Sangheili had numerical advantage, it was soon swept away by the might of the Forerunner dreadnought (as well as the insights gained from the study of Forerunner relics).
The war almost annihilated the two races. The Sangheili deemed that the dreadnought was unstoppable and the San-Shyuum admitted if the Sangheili were too deadly, then there might be other forms of sentient life far more threatening to their race. The war eventually brought the Sangheili to defy their own religious beliefs; they began to study and harness the Forerunner technology to avoid defeat. With both sides using Forerunner technology, it became a stalemate. But the dreadnought remained undefeated still. The bitter Sangheili admitted defeat and surrendered. As they surrendered, the Sangheili did not feel their warrior traditions dishonored. The San-Shyuum proved to be a worthy adversary, they offered to ally themselves with the Sangheili. In 852 BCE, the two races formed a truce to forgive each other. Sangheili Leader Pelahsar and a San-Shyuum representative Breaking Shadow wrote the Writ of Union which formalized peace and alliance with the two.
The Writ of Union established the Covenant. The Sangheili stand with the San-Shyuum, ready to survive and endeavor the harsh and the unknown. Soon all in the galaxy shall walk the path of the Great Journey!
