Happy birthday to Let 'Volir!

Today is his -453rd birthday!

'Volir served the Covenant as commander of the assault carrier Enduring Conviction. During the Great Schism, he joined the ex-Covenant Sangheili ranks against the Prophet of Truth and the Jiralhanae. After the war's end, he was not interested in joining the warring factions that began to spring up, and continued on with the independent Fleet of Recalcitrant Ire.

The fleet was attacked by the Banished, and 'Volir was tricked into taking Atriox captive, only to become a captive himself. Atriox offered 'Volir a chance to join the Banished as a mercenary, and, with no chance of killing Atriox and an already-wavering belief in the Covenant separatist faith, he agreed.

While serving as a mercenary for a Jiralhanae tarnished his name with the Sangheili, 'Volir took the view that he did what he had to do to ensure his crew's survival, though he took no pleasure in it.

Atriox ordered 'Volir and the Enduring Conviction to the Ark, where he destroyed the Henry Lamb Research Outpost during the Banished's fight for control of the installation, a slaughter he did not celebrate. When the Spirit of Fire arrived four months later, he participated in the unsuccessful battle against the UNSC.

After Red Team destroyed Enduring Conviction, 'Volir's attitude towards the Banished changed. He took responsibility for his remaining crew and Banished forces, now a true devotee of Atriox rather than just a sellsword. He was given the chance to redeem himself by taking on the UNSC one last time so that Atriox could enter the portal on the Ark and return to the Milky Way. He was able to push the UNSC back enough to allow Atriox through the portal.

Atriox left 'Volir in charge of the Banished forces on the Ark, to the dismay of the other Jiralhanae warmasters, a title he still holds. However, he does not have the loyalty of the forces, with Castor deceiving him and Pavium and Voridus pursuing the Keepers and Covenant remnants against his orders.

In canon (~2560), he is turning 83!

Sangheili Bracket Round 1 Match 29

More info below:

Let 'Volir:

Debuted in Halo Wars 2

Born Nov. 20th, 2477 on the colony Eshin, he commanded Enduring Conviction during his time in the Covenant Empire, causing the destruction of "quite a few" UNSC warships between 2549 and 2552 and becoming known to the UNSC and ONI as a result. One notable battle was during 2551, where it demonstrated impressive evasive maneuvers and counterattacks. Following the end of the Great Schism and the Covenant Empire, he would avoid joining the Swords of Sanghelios and the Arbiter, amongst other emerging warlords. For about six months, he instead served in the Sangheili-led Fleet of Recalcitrant Ire, led by Fleetmaster Arkad Nar 'Kulul.

In May 2553, the fleet - stationed near an airbase on the swamp-moon of Kostroda - would engage attacking Banished forces. Let would respond to a distress call from the base crew and successfully capture the Banished's leader - Atriox - due to a surrender. However, once back on board Enduring Conviction, Atriox would reveal a trap as several hidden Banished soldiers ambushed them and force Let to converse - Atriox's true reason for "surrendering". Atriox revealed he had been keeping an eye on Let and wished for him to join the Banished, to which Let decided life as a free mercenary would be better than what he had now. Allowing the fleetmaster to believe he and his crew had been killed by the Banished, Let would order Enduring Conviction to escape from the fleet as it began to fire on the correct assumption it was now hostile. These events would later be recorded and becoming known to ONI, leading agents "D" and "S" to begin studying Let. Later, Let and his crew would properly swear fealty to the Banished on an orbital installation, but then would lay low for awhile. Some time later, they would reemerge to raid the human settlement on Ansket IV. Let would also send a message to the Jiralhanae warlord Jovus to convince him to join the Banished, but Jovus found the concept of Jiralhanae and Sangheili working together absurd. Eventually, when it became known that Let 'Volir was not killed and had become a sellword to Atriox, his name would become tarnished - although he himself did not care.

On Nov. 25th, 2558, Enduring Conviction would arrive at the Ark, carrying with it a force large enough to take the Ark by force from the UNSC forces and researcher that previously held claim to the installation. Notably, Let did not enjoy the slaughter like the rest of the Banished and refused to partake in any celebrations. For months, the Banished extracted resources from the Ark. Then, on March 28th, 2559, the long-lost UNSC Spirit of Fire exited slipspace above the Ark, with conflict breaking out between the old ship and the Banished. Let would contribute on the Banished's side, first defending a salvage operation overseen by Decimus by melting UNSC ground forces with Enduring Conviction's pulse laser turrets. Once the defense was deemed a failure and Decimus retreated, Enduring Conviction would kill their own Banished allies at the site to keep the UNSC from learning anything. Later, on March 30th, Decimus would fall in battle whilst Let went on the attack against Spirit of Fire. During this, Spartan Jerome-092 and the AI Isabel would infiltrate the ship, forcing it to destroy the Ark and cause Aggressor Sentinels to destroy it in retaliation. Let would survive and be confronted by Atriox over the losses. The failures would only stack up in time, as Let would fail in the defense of Installation 09, allowing the Halo Ring to fall under UNSC control. These would weigh on him, causing him to feel a responsibility to safeguard the entire Banished as penance - now seeing every Banished individual as part of "his crew".

Redemption would soon come to him with a new task: a last ditch effort to push back Spirit of Fire. He would succeed in securing the site of a portal, allowing Atriox to utilize it in his return to the Milky Way galaxy. Now back in Atriox's good graces, he was further placed in command of all the Banished forces on the Ark, to continue the fight against the Spirit of Fire for the Ark whilst Atriox dealt with other priorities. Later, the Keepers of the One Freedom would reach the Ark through the same portal - on Atriox's personal Lich Pegoras no less. Let would contact them and even though he grew suspicious of them, he allowed it to pass through and was against the Jiralhanae brothers Pavium and Voridus going after them. They still did, then lied to Let about the devastating lost they took in the Battle of Epsilon Clarion. Let has also set his sights on quelling the rebellions of "Yapyap the Destroyer" that Atriox had previously tolerated.

Rojka 'Kasaan:

Debuted in Halo: Envoy (previously mentioned in "Oasis" of Halo: Fractures)

Born April 14th, 2494 on the colony of Glyke, he formed a close bond with Daga 'Rathum in youth and eventually joined him in the Covenant reserve units; his dreams of becoming a Shipmaster in the military being unfulfilled as he instead helped rebuild and refurbish warships until the end of the Covenant. Following Operation: SUNSPEAR in 2552, Glyke would be destroyed by Spartan Gray Team using a NOVA bomb. Upon hearing of his homeworld's destruction, Rojka would take control of the fleet he was tasked with repairing and travel to the ruins to see for himself and monitor activity in the system. The Arbiter Thel 'Vadam would ask him to not seek revenge against humanity - severing the carefully built peace in the process - and instead directed him to the abandoned human colony of Carrow, which the Sangheili named "Rakoi". Learning to think positively on this new opportunity, he would become the Kaidon of the newly founded city of Rak. Sometime later, however, the human colonists that had once lived on Carrow returned, alongside other migrant refugees from the war. Tensions over sharing the planet emerged, with Rojka attempting to maintain peaceful co-existence whilst his cousin Thars 'Sarov rallied an anti-human rebellion. An envoy named Melody Azikiwe would be sent to help with the situation; around the same time, Rojka detected a human signal in his former system and recovered the sleeping Spartans that had destroyed his old home. He would keep them on his ship whilst he debated killing them or using them as a bargaining chip.

A peace summit would be schedule, but the day before it was set to happen, Thars would go on the attack. With long-ranged communications down and no slipspace capable vessels, Rojka was forced to engage the rebels in a space battle above the planet. As a Jiralhanae fleet came to aid Thars, Rojka began losing the battle and prepared to be boarded by the enemy. Melody - who was also on board - would refuse an offer to be killed before the enemy could reach her and argue for the release of Gray Team. When she was refused, she went off to secretly release them herself whilst Rojka was distracted by the thoughts of each of his friends dying one by one alongside their ships. He would soon realize Melody's plan and move to stop her, but he was too late - the Spartans were awake and fended him off, forcing his retreat while they escaped the ship. Previously willing to allow Thars a final stand within the ship, he changed plans to go follow Gray Team to Carrow's surface; at the same time, he witnessed the beginning of the Jiralhanae's betrayal of Thars. Unfortunately, his ship would crash and an assassination attempted by some within his own ranks; but he endured, taking half of his surviving crew to pursue Melody and Gray Team. In his absence, the crash site would be attacked by Thars' forces. Eventually, Rojka would discover ONI's hidden base, Gila Station, where Thars would also catch up with him with an offer: Thars would allow Rojka to go in to kill Gray Team before Thars would finally finish him off, avoiding conflict with the UNSC by pretending the attack was done by Covenant remnants. Both cousins would attempt to break their side of the deal. Within Gila Station, Melody convinced Rojka that there was a bigger threat the Jiralhanae were planning to unleash; deciding to hold off on revenge against Gray Team, Rojka instead escaped Gila Station as it was destroyed, sending some warriors to go distract Thars. Later, he would help in the fight against the released Sharquoi at Suraka and the attempted assassination against the Jiralhanae leader controlling them, Hekabe. In the process, he would become injured, but would survive the close encounters with the Sharquoi. As he escaped the destruction of Suraka and all the Sharquoi gathered there, the mourned the loss of Daga, who died during the battle. Once at a safe location, Rojka would convince Thars to duel him by offering to hand over Gray Team - in reality, he, the Spartans, and Melody were plotting an ambush. Rojka would overpower his cousin, but at first kept him alive - they needed Thars to notify his forces of an incoming Sharquoi attack, to avoid the creatures obtaining Thars' remaining ships. When Thars refused to listen and the Sharquoi successfully captured both human and Sangheili ships, Rojka would decapitate him. Then, he went on to aid in the next attempt on Hekabe's life. He and a Surakan militia squad entered the Forerunner facility where Hekabe was hiding, with Rojka launching himself directly at the Sharquoi and getting grievously injured in the process. He would also get attacked by Hekabe once Governor Ellis Gass successfully removed the vertex controlling the Sharquoi from Hekabe's head. Finally, he would be immobilized by Sharquoi now under Ellis' command, who warned them to leave as she would detonate a nuke that would destroy the entire facility in ten minutes. During the escape, the injured Rojka lagged behind the others, but ultimately was able to escape and be picked up by a rescue Pelican. With all the conflicts on Carrow finally ended, Rojka would heal and return home, where he would find the new Kaidon Akato 'Dakaj who warned Rojka that he had little support in Rak now due to all the loss from the conflicts. Now grown and moving pass his previous grievances, Rojka accepted the offer to become Akato's envoy towards humanity.

🚢 & 💉 from the Halo ask list :)

🚢 - favourite UNSC ship?

Would it be a cop-out to say the Infinity? Because godDAMN she is a marvel.

💉 - flood, covenant, prometheans, or the banished?

The Covenant has by far the most and best development and also rocks some of the hardest Baroque aesthetics I have ever seen (ot surprising since they're literally CATHOLICS, IN SPACE!)

I think I would have liked the Banished more if they hadn't been so terribly bungled by Infinite.

(Catch me still lusting after Let 'Volir and Jega R'domnai anyway, though. Noodles are noodles regardless of faction lmao)

[brownald]

First part of my AU where Arbie ends up joining Atriox to fight ONI! IDK if I'll add another part, i just had fun with this one.

Thel ‘Vadam tentatively walked into the Banished assault carrier’s bridge, the crimson light of the monitors reflecting off his bronze armor like the setting sun. Even through the layers of sheet metal from the outside world, the sounds of the space battle outside could be heard. Let ‘Volir’s Banished forces were said to be among the finest in the galaxy, though the shipmaster Rtas ‘Vadum had sought to test his mettle in a trial by combat, a plan Thel hated. They were meant to stall the Banished forces long enough to allow the Demon to finish his work on the Halo Ring, a task that only required a small task force of Elites led by Thel. But for whatever reason, Thel had accepted the lonesome task of confronting Atriox himself. Perhaps it was his affection for the shipmaster that compelled him to undertake this duty. Thel had never given it much thought.

“Atriox!” Thel steadied his mind, forcing his attention to the Jiralhanae warmaster standing still across the room. “I have come for you.”

The Brute did not respond right away, taking a moment to turn around and face the Sangheili before him. “So, the Arbiter stands before me. Why are you here, slave of humanity?”

“I am a slave no longer.”

“You tell yourself that, and yet I do not think you believe it yourself. Neither do your men.”

Thel shook his head. “You lie, just as the Prophets did.”

Atriox chuckled, a low rumble that echoed across the room. “Do I? The Covenant used me as cannon fodder, sending my brothers into battles we had no hope of winning. Does that ring a bell, Arbiter? Can you find any similarities to what is in our midst today?”

The realization hit Thel like a Ghost. “You’re going to wipe us all out. Here and now.”

“Yes, that was the plan,” Atriox continued. “But then I thought about what I knew of you. I know you care for the lives of your men. You insist on saving all you can.”

“I do, yes.” Thel’s posture shifted to a casual, introspective stance.

Atriox began to step forward. “You are a master tactician, Thel ‘Vadamee. Surely you recognize what has happened?”

“Your forces are fighting your last stand. The shipmaster will not order a retreat without your guidance. And I have a feeling you will not do that.”

Thel’s voice began to waver. “What makes you so certain?” 

“I have a dozen Phantoms loaded to the brink of overburden with suicide grunts ready to crash into the engines of every single one of your warships.”

Thel nodded. “Speak.”

“Think, ‘Vadamee. You were tasked by ONI to keep me away from their science experiment on Zeta Halo. They knew about your inferior forces, and yet they sent you and your Elites to die. Does that seem fair to you?”

“You knew about that?”

“Of course I did. Humans are not excluded from the ranks of The Banished, and better intelligence is gained from it.” Atriox glared at The Arbiter, now diminutive and fearful in the Brute’s gaze. “Now then answer my question. Does that provide a satisfactory response to the code of honor the Sangheili are known for?”

Thel’s response came out hoarse and panicked. “No.” He whispered. “It does not.”

“Even before this war,” Atriox continued. “ONI was deceiving you. Even while they promised you friendship they armed your enemies for conflict, and sent flocks of assassins to kill you. They twisted science itself to starve your people, all the while lying to your face.”

“They feared that-”

“Of course they did. They were afraid that you would one day snap, and finish what Truth, Regret and Mercy had finished. They did not believe in the power of a warrior’s oath.” Atriox outstretched an armored gauntlet. “But I do.”

Thel looked up to look Atriox in the eyes. “What are you saying?”

“We have a common enemy in ONI. This does not have to end in one of our deaths.”

“Then how does it end?”

“With ONI in ruins.”

Thel sighed. “If I join your crusade against ONI, I will not join the Banished. And neither would my men.”

Atriox smiled. “I expect nothing less.”

“Fine then.” Thel muttered, tapping a button on his wrist. “Shipmaster: have all forces pull back and regroup. Atriox and I have reached an understanding.”

The Shipmaster’s agreement could be heard echoing across the room. Despite a hint of fear in his voice, he followed the Arbiter’s orders to the letter. Slowly, the sounds of the battle outside crescendoed to nothingness.

Thel wordlessly grabbed Atriox’s hand. The lights in the room faded to black, choking the life from the light reflecting from Thel’s armor until they too, turned to night.

Leipzig Letter

excerpt in translation from the collected correspondence of Marian Siegert ~ Miller (1725–56), illegitimate daughter of Elias Villingen, second Duke of Far Suebia.

Tu aye, com tojorn, bon cos enter ne flagitar aðelent lengacer lavaç aïr (e cartað demay cos enter ne my presenç parmettr!). You were, as ever, entirely correct to insist on extra language tutors (and entirely too generous in letting me attend!).

Y Latin obligað a se manifestað com vacquer lon kiveu—nos se trovau ny mal çaucr—py y teudesc ac seyon parolað se dien ojous equal com ig dy ci actour flamesc noscon aut posc man a stað. The compulsory Latin has revealed itself less than useless—we run in the wrong circles—but the Dutch they have here is almost as awful as that of those Flemish performers we had some summers ago.

Jo prefay volir habituar, pu interim jo so gavent auvorn demay ne borgogn e bohemian parolant coll'eç soiç d'Albert. I expect I will acclimate, but for now I am having far too much fun speaking Burgund and Bohemian with Albert's company.

No scey alcun los ag nonçamen noscon caut d'eromn cas pan? Does the news we get of bread troubles have any basis?

Nos saveu rien confiar declarað par y hebdomader lepcian sur við ag souð dy Danau, pu y rumour Venis e Crovatia partenent dan hoir aðief; veleð enfugr reunt vars Stoccart ða un sign mendrem bodant ig Bavarn erra vars asmuth parey. We know not to trust anything the Lepzi weeklies have to say about life south of the Danaw, but the rumours about Venise and Crovatia are bad enough; do abscond back to Stuttgart at the slightest sign Bavarn is along the same track.

The Five Stages of Grief But They're Sangheili

Denial

This was the hardest one, but I'm gonna go with Xytan Jar 'Wattinree because even during the Great Schism he still believed in the Forerunner's "godhood" (at least as far as I'm aware? I haven't actually read Ghost of Onyx yet) and kept fighting humanity.

Anger

Ripa 'Moramee. Do I even need to explain here?

Bargaining

Avu Med 'Telcam or Let 'Volir. The former because sneaky deals with ONI and the latter because an agreement to work with Atriox.

Depression

Rtas 'Vadum or Fal 'Chavamee. Infinite Succor and "The Duel" are really sad, man...

Acceptance

Thel 'Vadam, because his whole character arc.

When your boss blames you for a shitty day at work and you reconsider your career choices

[bloodgulchblog]

I'm not gonna do a proper summary post for Divine Wind because I finally gave in to my human weakness and let myself stop paying attention to who was where with what guns and whether or not it was bad strategy, so I could not give a complete account of a lot of Divine Wind.

However, I can say with great confidence that Divine Wind has more emotion in it than probably all of Denning's other Halo novels combined. This isn't saying a lot, but I noticed, and this is my blog.

As ever, he's obviously more confident and has more leeway on the Ferret stories than on the ones where he has to deal with Blue Team. The game characters he deals with most are from Halo Wars 2's Flood DLC, and the Sangheili Let 'Volir, but we also get a cameo of Red Team and Cutter at the end. Mostly, though, it's Denning OC town. (I count the Ferrets in this because they are pretty much Denning's OCs at this point anyway.)

I've talked about it with people on here before that Denning is not too bad a lot of the time when he's dealing with alien characters, so the good news for Divine Wind is it has a lot of them.

We have Castor. We have 'Gadogai. We have this San'Shyuum Prelate that shows up because guess what, gang, there's Covenant out here. How long has it been since we've seen actual Covenant? Insane. Also there's Banished.

If you were reading these because you came to care about Castor, that will pay off for you here because Castor on the Ark trying to light the Halo array means Castor finally has to find out that everything he thought he knew was a lie. That's actually kind of fun to read.

The other thing that happens is a major human character dies near the end. The death itself was very what???? because it's sudden and very dead on the page, but the reaction of the surviving human characters is more emotion than we've ever seen out of them in Denning's hands. In some ways it almost feels undeserved to me, but also I suppose that after I've been dragged through three entire novels of minimal emotional/inner life engagement, I guess he gets participation points.

Anyway, while it felt actually climactic enough to be an end to these stories (it is an end to the conflict with Intrepid Eye) it instead ends with obvious sequel hook problems to be resolved later. Lopis and the Ferrets and the Spirit of Fire look to be stuck on the Ark for the long haul. Spirit has been there nine months and counting, and there's no end in sight yet.

This book was a lot better than Shadows of Reach I can tell you that at the very least, though it benefits from you at least kind of remembering what happened in Shadows because that establishes what's up with Castor and 'Gadogai.

It feels weird to be free of the Denning zone. I just have Kelly Gay and a pile of comics left.

Good riddance, but also if I'm locked into reading something I dislike for too long I'll end up finding something to care about for it. This is a perfect example I think.

[vibe-spartan-nostalgia]

LOL you people wouldn't be happy with a sex scene unless it was Atriox getting down with Escharum and Let Volir

I'd be happy with a sex scene if it was written with an ounce of relatable humanity, something Halo commonly lacks.

Not sure if you, the anon currently blasting an airhorn in my ear, have read Contact: Harvest, but the sex scene is the epitome of soulless, and the Halo series doesn't seem to have gotten the hint, which is weird when they've nailed the relatable humanity aspect thus far.

All I'm trying to do is address things that are popular in the Halo zeitgeist, because god knows nobody feels like talking about Infinite anymore.

Very excited to see what the series does next and that's not sarcasm

[indomitus-ferox]

// sooo, uhhh, my ass do be hating attempting to write on twitter rn, feels like more of a hellscape than ever, and uhhh i know i said i wouldn’t pressure myself into writing here so much but like. idk, i’m starting to find a joy and a rhythm in it again, even if i’m a bit slow these days...

basically, what im saying is, i might turn my currently work-in-progress sideblog for shipmaster let ’volir ( from halo wars 2 ) into a multimuse blog, ft. him, and perhaps agent washington, captain rex, and a number of others per my whims, a mix of canons & OCs, from a couple diff fandoms?? if anyone would be interested in interacting, that is??

i might do it anyway but i just wanna gauge interest before i really jump into the deep end, haha

[infinityactual]

lasky x taurus or lasky x let volir

I have exactly no idea who those characters are, except Let Volir sounds like a Sangheili? Taurus sounds like maybe a Jiralhanae name...

If you're asking for the most cursed? Based on what little I know, as well as Lasky's first encounter with a Sangheili, Let Volir. Especially if he's got an energy sword.

Talk about your fear boner.
