Jumping back in I have a few questions related to this, or points for you lot to argue.
1 - 343 clearly states that you ARE Foreunner
2 - The Prophets of Truth and Mercy recognise Humanity as being Forerunner and therefore eradicating their entire belief system. (If they weren't, what was the issue? Why not meld Humanity into the Covenant like every other race?)
3 - The games were made BEFORE Cryptum. Was the original idea to have Humanity as Forerunners and then 343 thought "lets switch that up a bit and have people like us debate and retcon it ourselves)
Away you go
Wrong, the Prophets of Truth, Mercy, and Regret learns humans were the reclaimers of the Forerunner legacy, not them.
That was what would destroy the Covenant belief, that the Prophets were leading them on a holy journey to reclaim the legacy of their gods. Now it's learned that the Forerunners chose a completely different race as the reclaimers, meaning the Prophets would lose their power. Truth did not want to lose his power.
O_o I thought they believed that Humanity were Forerunners, and that they had been left behind or something like that? I mean, what you're saying is definitely part of it, but I thought they did primarily what they did because they though there were living Forerunners still running around (and with the possible exception of Mercy, were power hungry bastards).
Hm, Maybe. Then again as time went on Truth seemed to become more deluded with his power.
At the very least, in the beginning they thought/knew humans were the true reclaimers of the Forerunner legacy. As time went on maybe truth started thinking that being Reclaimers meant those left behind when the forerunners started their great journey?
He certainly did. Truth was certainly a bit unhinged by the end there.
Yes, it's certain that they knew that Humanity were the true inheritors of the Forerunner's legacy. I'm pretty sure that they thought they were living Forerunners, but I'd have to read Contact Harvest again to be positive, I might have read something wrong, it's happened before :P
