Dolvar

== Dolvar ==
The Dolvar are a near-extinct sapient humanoid species native to Yiveiyama, they are known for their extreme religious culture.
=== Contact with the Covenant ===
in 2521, the Dolvar were contacted by several Sangheili artifact retrieval teams to locate forerunner artifacts in their home planet to find Human worlds. The species were offered to give up their religion to be affiliated with the Covenant. The Dolvar refused the offer which sparked a worldwide massacre of the entire planet. a San'Shyumm Minor prophet gave the order for the Fleet of Sublime Devotion to glass half of the planet for them to make a choice on which side are they on, the covenant of their own government. However, half of the population joined but the other half stayed back with their religion and were murdered by the Sangheili, Mglekgolo, and Kig-Yar. In addition, their world was completely destroyed by plasma bombardments. a Sangheili Fleetmaster made contact with a young Dolvar girl, Xyrana, decided to spare her and take her to high charity to be introduced by the high prophets of Mercy, Regret, and Truth. Years later, Xyrana served as a Covenant Priestess until the great schism.
