Dear Nations of the World,
The Great Journey is almost upon us. The Covenant will activate the Holy Rings and burn a path into the divine beyond. However, if you do not take the path that will lead to imminent salvation for all who seek it, the Great Journey will be completed, but the wait of your herecy shall stain your nation, and you shall be left behind. By the hand of the Prophets, the Holy Empire of Ahlakat was embraced into the al-mighty Covenant. In return we agreed to seek the path that the Forerunner left behind that would usher in an age of peace and enlightenment. Do not be blinded by the herecy that surrounds you. Join the Holy Covenant, and your nation's salvation shall be assured. If not, your destruction shall be the will of the Gods.
By joining the Covenant, your nation is entitled to all of the wonders the High Prophets of Truth, Mercy, and Regret have to offer.

1. Protection - The Covenant is a consedium that acts as one. Your enemies are our enemies and your allies become ours. Believe in the Great Journey and the Gods will protect us all from evil and despair.

2. Rights and Freedom - Under the Covenant, your nation has the right to influence the the decisions of the High Prophets. However, the final decision is always their's as they are the Holy Ones that were chosen to be the voice of the Gods. Defying them is herecy as you would be defying the Gods themselves.

3. Position in the High Council (United Nations) - If your nation is the home of true believers and has followed the Prophets loyaly and fearlessly, there is a chance that you will be accepted into the High Council, which is home to the most honored in the eyes of the Prophets.
* If you are in the High Council look for the post titled "The High Council of the Covenant" every Sunday (time unknown).
* A highly powerful nation, militarily speaking, is a probable choice for becoming the "Zealot" or General of the holy Covenant Army.

***********************The Sacred Laws**********************
1. You may not challenge the High Prophets of Truth, Mercy, or Regret. Nor may you challenge the Gods.

2. When you embrace the Covenant you take an oath, according to your station, all without exception. You sware to uphold the Covenant, even to your dying breath. All who break this oath are heretics. They are worthy of niether pity nor mercy.

3. It is the will of the Gods that the Covenant exists. The sole purpose of that existance is to seek the Great Journey and follow the path of the Forerunner to greatness and salvation. All who undermind this belief are heretics, and shall be banished from the Covenant for eternity. They will be left behind to watch as the great Covenant is led to salvation.

4. Once you leave the Covenant there is no turning back. You have announced your herecy and cannot return. In the eyes of the Prophets, you are no better than the very enemy that our forces squash beneath their boots.

* For all of those nations who wish to join the everlasting Covenant, move to the region known as The Holy Realm of the Covenant (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/-1/page=display_region/region=the_holy_realm_of_the_covenant)

Just what will you do if we don't?

The Covenant shall do nothing. However, when the Holy Rings are activated and the Great Jouney begins, the herecy of your nation shall stain the blood of all who inhabit it. And they shall be left behind in the darkness and sespair that will become this realm.

you said that our allies are yours and our enemies are also yours right? But what if you join and one of your allies is the enemy of another member of the Covenant or vice versa?

Right, we can't be heretics if we were never members of the Covenent in the first place. Just so ya know.

Ah yes, well that would be very confusing, would it not. With all of the nations in NationStates that problem would most likely not occur.

Right, we can't be heretics if we were never members of the Covenent in the first place. Just so ya know.
Yes, all who are unknown to or chose not to seek, the Great Jouney are heretics. But their punishment will come from the Gods, not the High Prophets and the al-mighty Covenant. They will be left behind when the Great Jouney is completed and we are ascended.

Message Concering "The Covenant"

To: The Holy Empire of Ahlakat
From: Mr Galen Q. Leotardia, Emporer

The Pure Socialist Holy Empire of Shazbotdom does not agree with your organization. We regret to inform you that we shal not, in any way, conform to your way of belief. This nation was built on the ability for everyone to believe what they want. We are a nation of equal rights. Although we do not believe in your way, we still would like to begin trade agreements. A meeting with your "Prophets" would be much appreciated. An exchange of information might prove useful to both our people in this time of International Instability.

----------Message To the Covenant Leadership----------

We would like to inform you that the Galaxy-Dreadnought 'Re' has been completed, and will be despatched to annihilate you should your cult cause any problems to the Aspects of Ra.

O.O You hate all religious states?

The Covenant does not fear your puny military forces. Save your insuggnificant breath. The Sangheili race will enlist the help of the Covenant and the High Prophets of Truth, Mercy, and Regret if a Holy War is iminent. Be warned, the Prophets don not respond politley to threats. However, since the threat has been made, we will set the Hunagok engineers to work on a new fleet under the command of Zealot Zona 'Ullimuee. The fleet will consist of 6,000 Covenant Assualt Carriers and 1,000 Flag Ships. You have been warned.

And they have been IGNORED! A 6 mil nation in no way can support a SINGLE flag ship with that economy of 'reasonable' let alone an Assault Carrier (you spelled Assault wrong).

Make it reasonable, but there is no way you can build anything you have just said.

The nation of Ahlakat and the Sangheili race are not the only people enlisted in the protection of the Covenant. The High Prophets will send the Lekgolo, the Unggoy, the Kig-yar, the Jiralhanae, the Yanme'e, and the Sharquoi to our aid. Do not undermind the Power of the Covenant!

HAH! the covnant havn't even been able to deal with thier so called 'demon'! And you fools expect to start a full scale war? Fools!

The Demon is no longer a threat. The Union of Justice Agreement was signed with the Humans. All is as it shold be.

Ahlakat is marked for destruction. Re is being dispatched.Should you not remove your threats, you will be destroyed. My ship is more powerful than the combined fleet of Ankhmet in 30,000 years of development.

So be it! The Covenant is sending Alpha, Beta, and Omicron fleets to meet this "Re". Lets see how Re stands up to 18,000 Assault Carriers and 3,000 Flag Ships. Even if somehow the Covenant fails we will ignite our Holy Rings and wipe out all life in the Galaxy because of you petty religious disagreement.

End this at once or Face the wrath of the Gods!

Ignored. You CANNOT support that kind of fleet.

I may not be able to, but my Covenant brothers can, and will, support me all the way. Whether you like it or not.

Okay....
Upon closer inspection, you alone appear to be the entire covenant.Weird.

If you do not stop this pointless crusade we will send a Sacred Ring through Slipspace to your system. We will then activate the ring. Its activation will destroy all life withi 25,000 light years. If the other 6 rings follow suite, then all life within 3 radii of the galactic center will be destroyed.

Ignored due to Godmoding in extremis.

but if the prophets' are about Mercy then why do they want to hurt people? that doesn't seem right, how can you destroy someone if you believe in Mercy?

Pffft. Not worth arguing it with him/her.

OOC: hold on. Please. No holy wars. Ankhmet, please, they just don’t understand NS. As for my fellow covenant players. You need to understand. You can’t RP as the covenant from the game(ie, you don’t have billions of people). You can’t say “I activate rings, you die”. Later on however, you can have some RP which culminates into the deactivation of the ring. Have the covenant you play as be a scouting fleet, you get promoted, get more ships and people as you go on. I play as an entire fleet sent off to find the arc. We weren’t successful though. Came back, my oh my, High charity’s gone. So I banded with others. I suggest you don’t embark on any religious movements until you can’t be gobbled up by three enemy ships.

Your fleet probably consists of a few wings of seraphs, maybe a frigate or two.

how can you attack people if you are prophets of Mercy?

Heretics killed by our hand are given absolution by the forerunners, thus we are merciful to give you paradise...
