The Covenant are a group of alien races who share the same religion and beliefs.Their religion is controlled by a species of Aliens known as Prophets, who are the Covenants spiritual and political leaders. The prophets declared humanity an affront to their Gods, and declared a holy war against mankind. As far as their culture goes, we don't know much. We do know that their social structure is a caste system, with certain species (Prophets, elites) being more powerful and privileged than other species (grunts, jackals). Each species evolved on a different planet, but were contacted by, and possibly conquerd by, the Elites and Prophets, who shared the same home planet. As for the Forerunners, we don't know all that much aobut them. The Covenant consider them, and everything they make to be holy, and worship them. All that we know is that the Forerunner were an ancient race who long ago disappeared ,leaving behind their amazingly advanced technology. I'm sure there's a lot more, but i can't think of it right now, hope this helps.
