in the announcment trailier cortana says 'this is how the world ends' but wee dont know who she is talking to or which world, it could be that she is talking to a forerunner for all we know.
she also says 'i know your past' etc. but this could also mean she is talking to a forerunner and she knows their past from information from gravemind.
think about it.

All of the transmissions in the Halo 3 teaser were from the Gravemind, but he used Cortana to send them.

When the Gravemind says "This, is the way the world ends" he means all sentient life within the Milky Way Galaxy (blast radius of the installations) will end.

"I know you, your past, your future." means that he knows the Forerunners and how the survivors became the Human race, and he knows the outcome of the Covenant - Human war.

While that may be true that is all pure speculation. You have no idea if that really is what's happening. Please don't try and sound like its fact since it isn't.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The first Cortana letter is signed "A friend of a friend" (I believe) so I believe that Gravemind is talking through her.

I have walked the edge of the Abyss.
I have governed the unwilling.
I have witnessed countless empires break before me.
I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.
[I was there with the Angel at the tomb]

I have seen your future.
And I have learned.

There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.

I HAVE WON.

Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.


a friend of a friend

"Your" poet Elliot? Cortana is associated with the humans (she even came from a human's flash-cloned brain) so why would she refer to him as "your"?

I believe this is Gravemind speaking.
