alright well i have been going over the poem The hollow man. if what i think is true then it holds alot of info about halo 3.

where it says:

In death's dream kingdom

I think that this is supposed to be what would happen if the covenant were to fire the halos. they think that they would go to a spiritual paradise. that the forrunners would make them gods. in the bible it states that those who die go to god's great kingdom or a spiritual paradise. that those who do the will god will be with him in his great kingdom.


also where it says.

This is the dead land
This is cactus land

the dead land is refering to the flood because they kill all life.
it's a long stretch but when it says this is a cactus land it is refering to a desert or Africa.
so i doubt it but it looks like the flood will make another appearance and most of the game if not all of it will take place in Africa.

where it says.

Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.

when it says here the stone images are raised, here they are received, this would be my best guess that that is the structure in the desert.and the last two lines are refering to a halo. but also taking the idea that i heard from someone(can't remember who) it says that it looks like one of the circe things on the sides of the halos. my guess would be that the halos come from inside the planet. since the books say that the covenant have always had better slipspace capabilities, and since they stole their technology from the forunners it would be my best guess that the forunners would have alot better capabilities in slipspace that the covenant, we know that the forunners have slipspace capabilities because the forunner ship used it. now since they probably have better capabilities then either the Convenant or Humans we can hypothesise that the forunners built it inside the planets by building chunks and then using slipspace to insert it into the planets side. they would do it bit by bit just like we built the ISS in modern day. now moving on.

when it says

In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

i think it is refering that somehow the covenant and the human populations are destroyed to the brink of extinction.

and when it says.

In this last of meeting places
We groupe together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river


it might mean that the covenant and the humans are going to fight along side eachother side by side. and fight some greater evil. the forunner perhaps.


and judging by what cortana said in the cortana letters.

oh and your poet Elliot had it all wrong this is the way the world ends.

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

instead of being a whimper this might point to a big hard battle for survival. maybe the battle i was talking about earlier.

well that was it i hope this opens up your minds to the possibilities.

CONSTRUCTIVE critisim welcome.
