"In this hour of victory, we taste only defeat. I ask, why? We are Forerunners, guardians of all that exists. The roots of the galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms... And the impervious shelter beneath which it has prospered. I stand before you, accused of the sin of ensuring Forerunner ascendancy. Of attempting to save us from this fate where we are forced to recede. Humanity stands as the greatest threat in the galaxy. Refusing to eradicate them is a fool's gambit. We squander eons in the darkness, while they seize our triumphs for their own. The Mantle of responsibility for all things belongs to Forerunners alone. Think of my acts as you will. But do not doubt the reality: the Reclamation has already begun. And we are hopeless to stop it"

A Storm Is Coming

To the Halo Fan Fiction Wiki Community:

I am excited to announce the beginning of a new fan fiction endeavor, one that I hope many users will want to be part of. I am currently working on developing a large-scale epic storyline worthy of the Halo franchise. At the moment this project is in a very early stage and I do not have many details to share with you. What I can say is that I hope to incorporate both canon and fanon characters and concepts to create a truly enormous story that features as much of our website’s diverse array of articles as possible. This is, of course, where you come in.

I think it is appropriate to compare this project to the Survival of the Fittest in that I am calling on asking for any interested member of the community to submit as much of their work as they want to be featured in this project. As in past iterations of SOTF, the quality of the article will be determinant in what sort of role it plays in the storyline. Given the relative lack of success RPs have had on-site, I intend for much of the actual writing to be done by myself, with perhaps the assistance of any other authors interested in guest writing. However, I want the community to have a say in how events in the story play out. I hope this project will encourage writers, both veterans and new users, to bring out new articles, develop existing ones, and foster interest and collaboration between each others’ work.

This project is intended to begin chronologically around the year 2560. I intend for it to roughly follow the events in the 343i canon, meaning that the events of Halo 4 and Spartan Ops have occurred and the Covenant Remnant is the chief threat to both the UNSC and the unified Sangheili government. As this project continues to grow and take shape I will provide more background information, establish a project page, and most likely a fancy little era icon to slap on the relevant articles. Until then, any comments, questions, and other signs of interest are welcome here on this forum post.
