Thinking about Bastion again.
A possible explanation for what happened to Warden Eternal after Halo 5
SHIELD WORLD 0001 // REQUIEM
Only now does Requiem’s long-forgotten beauty greet me. Here, for thousands of kilometers on all sides, off into silvery-green haze, spreads a wide, high-ceilinged vista, illuminated by tiny sunlets flaring like brilliant green flowers. Sculptured mountain ranges sparkle with crystalline chunks of mineral-hard ice, awaiting heat to create another sanctuary for Lifeworker specimens. A stab of sharp pain at that sterile, unfinished landscape. But no Forerunners will be brought here. All that I push back into the depths of mind and memory. I have but one duty now, and that is to see my husband locked in his Cryptum, and all of his crimes with him.
Lore Thursday — Vale Citadel
The Vale Citadel was a key location on the shield world of Requiem. The Forerunner known as the Librarian left an imprint of herself in the facility, allowing her to prepare John-117 to confront the Ur-Didact in 2557.
In 2558, Jul 'Mdama became interested in accessing the Librarian's imprint, though its interface only allowed Dr. Halsey to communicate with the Librarian. Halsey was given the Janus Key, which reveals the real-time location of every piece of Forerunner technology in the galaxy.
The Vale Citadel, also known as the Librarian's Rest by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant, was a location inside the Forerunner shield world Requiem.
My favourite forerunner shield worlds are Bastion and Onyx.
Easily.
If humans were actually Forerunner in the early halo games as some theories have suggested maybe that could explain why only humans remained on earth and not on other parts of the galaxy. Because if they fired the rings they might have used Earth as a shield world and wouldn’t be affected by the blast. I don’t know tbh. I’m just trying to figure out how that would work.
