Read Cryptum and it'll explain a LOT about Forerunners.

The Razor.

For the honour of the Mirratord.

No, we are not descendents of the Forerunners, but we are the inheritors of their Mantle.

All is explained in Halo: Cryptum. Well, not all, but a lot.

As it stands now we are the spiritual decendants of the Forerunners, not biological. For some unknown reason they chose us to take their place after they left.

For now this information is correct, but the release of the 2nd and 3rd books in the Forerunner saga might change and expand upon this.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

There is no relation between the Forerunners and humans. The Forerunners just woke up and realised humanity is the true owner of the Mantle that they took from the Precursors.

Personally, I don't think humanity are the "defenders of life and the galaxy" type.

The Forerunners and the Flood, and everything in connection to them (Ark, Halos etc) are covered up by ONI post Halo 3. They have even obfuscated Johns involvement in the actions during Halo 3 to preserve the classified status of such material. To every Human alive not in official circles, it is "a lone Human soldier changed the course of the entire war", not "Master Chief changed the events of the entire war".

Pathetic.

No, we are not descendents of the Forerunners, but we are the inheritors of their Mantle.

All is explained in Halo: Cryptum. Well, not all, but a lot.


Last time i checked we don't know what the mantle is, and after cryptum who knows what the original philosophy of the precursors really was.

That being said people shouldn't go around talking about this "mantle" since there isn't any data on it.

The impression I got from the Terminals, Cryptum and the Encyclopedia was that the Mantle is a Forerunner ideology/religion derived from Precursors which made them stewards, cultivators and protectors of life in the galaxy.

And after seeing how forerunners really are in cryptum who is to say they didn't create that ideology in order to justify what they were doing?

I firmly believe that until we actually have knowledge about this "mantle' people should go around saying " we the forerunners wouldn't/did do this and this because of the mantle!" when they don't even know what it is.

The true idea of the mantle might have been twisted and distorted over time.And we all know history is written by the winners and if the forerunners beat the precursors then they wrote that arbitrary mantle.
