War of Enlightenment

==The Wars of Enlightenment==
The Wars of Enlightenment, known to its contemporaries as The Sundering, was the name given to a series of centuries-long conflicts between the Covenant and various off-shoot heretical cults, each of which preached salvation lay outside the Halos. Brought about by new Forerunner records conflicting with previous archives, the Sundering saw the development of new covenant technology, such as the noble ORS-cruiser pattern, and the needle sphere launcher. While ultimately the conflict would be resolved by the Hierarchs and High Council, to the San'Shyuum, it proved only they could be entrusted with the gifts of the Ancients.
