Hmm... I was thinking along the lines of The Messiah's Legacy, you know, something that does not emphasize the Chief's appearance or anything, or even Raynord's (he's a good guy, but it's all about Palab) while it does emphasize Palab's part in the Covenant Civil War, which is no small thing; he did fight some foes worthy of recognition, and defeated them. But maybe it emphasizes the Grunt Messiah too much while this story is centered around more than one person (and the Covenant Civil War).
I don't know... Forgotten Legacy might a good choice: the Grunts who have been forgotten for thirty years, then jump back into action with the Messiah, and this fanfic tells the story of the Messiah... so, I would say Forgotten Legacy.
It is a pity your story is not centered around one thing (the one thing... ring) because then something more appropriate might have entered stage... and while The Lord Of The Rings does point at Sauron and Frodo mostly (at whom of the two the title points more might be a matter of dispute) while in your story, soulguard, Palab is the leading protagonist, with Raynord close behind, and then it all revolves around multiple things... Eric/Rose relationship, Palab's struggle to be heard within the Elite community, the fall of the Elites, Simyaldee - in a lesser degree, but he's still important and very, very cool, much like Tolkien's Boromir, or even Faramir - and all these other things.
Damn, I'm mostly rambling about things that are best left to the writer himself... there's even a touch of arrogance in this post... -blam-....
Whatever you might find in this post was all put in there with the best of intentions, although I more sound like a dominant, hyperactive nun....
Well, whatever you choose, the title's not nearly important as the content, and you've done pretty damned well on that particular issue.
