They're Random, Baby!

The Hall of Murals

On the Halo 2 Limited Edition DVD, there is a cutscene which was deleted - or, more accurately, changed radically to fit into the game. One of the things that was left on the cutting room floor was 'The Hall of Murals' - a collections of images depicting the seven major epochs in the evolution of the Covenant. 7he One did a good job of pulling these images out so that folks can see and discuss them; they're labeled here according to Joseph Staten's information to our Story page. (Thanks to Walshicus, as well, for his help in reducing filesize.)

We have no official word at this time about whether the labels we added to the murals do, in fact, match the murals we added them to. Do NOT take this as canon. Thanks.

Update, 28 January 2005: In response to the question "are these titles correct?", Joe Staten replied:

Correct enough :')

Use that as you choose to.

Update, 5 February 2005: Walshicus decided to submit colored versions of these tablets, beginning with this forum post. We'll add his versions as they appear.

Update, 23 January 2006: Se7en One began creating 3D video versions of the tablets - we'll add his versions as they appear.
