I've been pondering for several weeks now on names for Covenant worlds in our map roster. It just now occurred to me that I have a entire community that can do that as well...

 

What kinda names would you guys like? Rather religious themed (I.e. Joyus Exultation) or one of the more generic names (I.e. Malurok) tell me what you think and give some ideas if you have some!

Covenant homeworlds should suffice I would think. None of the planets were never named religiously and there are a lot of names in the lore.

Maybe some occasional references/easter eggs?

 

Like Aiur, Shakuras, or something of the sort. Because it's actually hard to imagine a Covenant planet's name that makes sense and is not a random agglomeration of letters. Which is kinda "meh" in my opinion.

I think historically accurate homeworld names should be first priority. There are a lot of names mentioned in the lore, you've just gotta comb the wiki to find them.

These are all already in the internal build. Sanghelios even has something special.

What would be cool if the Prophets homeworld had two versions, one that is intact, with a neutral Prophet faction, and one that is destroyed. Since we currently don't know if Janjur Qom is intact or not.

Is it clearly stated? I thought the big conspiracy theory was that it was never really said but sort of inferred because they never fully trusted the Sangheili or whatever.

Yea, a prophet confirmed it if memory serves.

Please decrease the length of the line in your Sig, it is extremely distracting on a phone.
