All you Halo players know every time you picked up an energy sword as chief, those elites were fighting for their wives to not be defiled by the demon. Something to think about.
They didn’t bang though. Because females lay eggs like chickens. That were then Fertilised by the males. There was no sex involved like humans. There was no defiling of females.

Sangheili kids are raised communally anyway. They don't learn of their heritage until adulthood, that way they rely on their own skill rather than a family name.
I didn't know they eventually found out, I thought it stayed a mystery to them.. tho in the novels a few assume their own fathers/sons and I think 1 or 2 actually confirm this to the child/father.

It be a funny dialogue if Bungie or 343i includes it when you hold the energy sword and stare at them with the skull that increases rare dialogue line chances
Thing is the Sangheili although a military society, they have a honor system. During the covenant era, fighting in combat was a means of gaining respect and rank, as well as not knowing who your father was made it about absolute self improvement. If your father was a fleet master commanding the entire armada and everyone knew it, the only way you could gain any noticeable "honor" would be to do better than him in a military and honor society. This is one thing compared to irl, because in the Sangheili world at the time, not knowing who's kids who's made sure everyone in their own rights had a form of honor one way or another, whereas irl, there's no system, or at least similar... to allow everyone the same opportunity. But of course I assume this practice changed since the Elites conspired against the Covenant to a more, what we would call "natural" way of life where children know who their parents are, and the parents the same. A thing to mention with Covenant era Sangheili, even if a female did get pregnant by a "high society" member the child itself would be raised by a different family. So technically partners in a relationship won't have to take care of a child if they don't want to... but such thing could be considered dishonorable because you'd be striping the fight for glory from the child.
@offsetcircle1903 actually the kids were all raised in a keep and weren't told who their parents were to avoid the cuck thing so if a swordsman banged your wife after she gives birth it jist goes to a keep even if a swordsman didn't amd you still sleep with your wife and have a kid it would still go to a keep either way they weren't raising their own or anyone else's kid
It was only atriox weilding it and that's because an elite was going to execute him with it. After that the brutes were actually just stomping out the elites around them. Don't recall any of them using swords because they had hammers. Need to rewatch to confirm, bad ass Halo Wars 2 cutscene anyways
Also my bad if that was just a statement about brutes using energy sword in general. A brute energy sword would go pretty hard tho, wonder how big and brutish it'll look
@@mortarion9813 we have a few live action shows. There’s a movie, and a series. But they screwed up at some points. However the recent episode s2 e4 of the series was really really good. Its a 10/10.

And then either restored or improved upon post-Schism Like farmers and engineers and doctors were considered honorable once more And women can now directly serve in the army This was for the Swords of Sanghelios, Banished Elites mostly ditched their honor system to adopt the Banished style of meritocracy
This encourages every elite to pursue the warrior life style. The best warrior had the best perks for breeding and wealth so everyone would be enticed to try and learn combat at an early age
The last part really does sound like how Samurai in medeival Japan had weird privleges, cool that they didnt just take the morally upright traits in designing the Sangheli but also the questionable ones.
I mean. There is alot of reasons why the sangheili had many civil wars. Their culture and way of life was tested in many ways. Especially with the arbiter now leading them.
Halo 2 Anniversary will occasionally break lore and you will encounter an Elite Minor with an Energy Sword on the Delta Halo levels. It’s happened to me a few times.
Actually the kid's are sent to training facility of the entire faction and aren't supposed to know their fathers simular to the Greek Spartans. Source is Halo: Legacy of Oynx
in civilian life aristocrats are the ones who can use swords. in covenant military life, theres no such restriction, except minors are generally not allowed to use them. according to wikis though, theres exceptions made even for minor elites.
Being an aristocrat simply meant you could carry them in public, though if you were in the military and this speak to the covenant especially, you will see certain roles use swords.
The gruesome reality (that isn't in the games) is that if you sliced someone with an energy sword their body would explode. The superheated plasma would cause all the liquids in a body to instantly turn to gas, resulting in the body exploding from the extremely rapid expansion of the gas.
It's hilarious how every sword design is being explained in universe. Where the real explanation is that the designers JUST HAD TO put their own spin on the design.
I remember seeing a mega bloks moc somewhere that had made an energy-axe of sorts by putting a pole through the middle of one that was upside-down. It looked dope
So the funny thing about the end comment is, male Sangheili don't even get to directly raise their own kids. All young Sangheili are raised in large groups in family Keeps. They know their mother, but they don't know their father. That keeps them from becoming too arrogant due to their bloodline. The fathers know who their offspring are, but the offspring don't know who their dad is.
Could you imagine when Halo infinite first came out? It actually looked as good as these pictures/videos graphically like it should’ve running on the most powerful series X…. all I know is the next halo game I keep hearing new rumors it’s being developed on the unreal five engine I’m gonna say they’re finally gonna do a huge graphical leap in the next game and it’s probably gonna launch in 2027 on the brand new Xbox
Fun fact: the color of the blade *_does not_* indicate the purpose of an Energy Sword. An Energy Sword having a red blade *_does not_* mean it is used for executions. The red blade is used *only* by members of the Silent Shadow, which were essentially the Covenant’s equivalent of Spartan Headhunters. The Silent Shadow often would serve as executioners, but that was not their only role. Silent Shadow would often be deployed in kill-teams, lead by a “First Blade” to perform reconnissance behind enemy lines, to take out high-value targets (usually Spartans), or even to board and attempt to capture UNSC vessels. Silent Shadow would also be tasked to shadow Shipmasters and Fleetmasters of high-renown, and would often serve in an advisory role to said individual. The reason why a red-bladed Energy Sword was being used to execute Atriox was because it was a member of the Silent Shadow wielding it, specifically the “First Blade” serving as the commander of the Spartan-Hunting team Atriox was part of (another task of the Silent Shadow - keeping the Jiralhanae in check), not that the blade was solely for executions.
The whole breeding thing that strictly to the anime and that sounds more like something that was headed by someone who's rather Japanese or deeply entrenched in Japanese culture people forget that just because something is classified as Halo doesn't mean that it's actually part of the lore
Isnt necessarily only the aristocrats who can't marry. Aristocrats still can marry and practice with the vlade, however its the Bladesmasters. The sangheili with names ending in "ai" suffixes who are disallowed to marry, but are encouraged to breed. A bladesmaster is encouraged to breed because Sangheili belief is to pass on those strong genes as far as possible so the species qs a whole benefits amd becomes stronger
Well... Most Sangheili uses Energy Swords post war. So, That's a lot of one night stands happening now. Guess they aren't much different from humans after all.
Something he forgot to mention is that in the military it's much more loose on who can wield a blade. The aristocratic thing tends to apply mainly to civilian Sanghili. It's like how in america you need special permits to own an assault weapon but in the military everyone is trained to use one
The thing with colour is a bit weird and sounds kinda star wars-y. I thought covenant plasma has colour based on hot hot it is. Based on physics, red energy sword would be less hot than blue, therefore, less effective at cutting.
Well, Sangheli children aren't allowed to know who their father is usually. As far as most know their mother's husband is just another uncle. This was to make sure the children were on equal footing with one another. I'm pretty sure this was in the Shadow of Intent book. If not, then in one of the shorter Halo books.
