Covenant Symbol
The Covenant was formed after the signing of the 'Writ of Union' by the Covenant's two founding races, the San 'Shyuum and the Sangheili. After this event in 852 BC the Covenant quickly became a fearsome military might annihilating or converting any species it came upon for almost 3 millennium before they met a match. By the time of first contact in 2524 with humanity the Covenant contained at least 8 different species. But unlike most species the Covenant found humanity was a foe not only willing to fight to the point of near-extinction but also a enemy whose very existence could call into question the Covenant's most basis religious tenets. The Covenant was held together by a religious belief of the Forerunners, a race they believed to have transcended existence by going on the 'Great Journey', and a goal to follow the Forerunners on this Journey. Humanity however could cast doubt on these beliefs by being identified as 'Reclaimers' by Covenant and Forerunner technology. This would mean there was a link between forerunners and human and could threaten the belief that the forerunners were gods and threaten the personnel power of the San 'Shyumm, the leader caste of the Covenant.
