What happened to the San Shyuum?

As most of us should know the Prophets disappeared shortly after Truth was killed. There was only a population of a few thousand and they basically gave all of their technological expertise to the Brutes and then vanished completely. Now what could have happened to these San Shyuum? 900 or so people is enough to replenish a population, but their genetics would be Hell and the species has the very possible chance of extinction. However, there is another interesting thought. The Huragok left around the same time. There were only a few left that hadn't disappeared entirely and only a few of those were Covenant in origin. Could the Huragok have gone with the San Shyuum? Something to think about. I doubt that this problem would be addressed in the new trilogy since 343i has decided to market the Forerunners heavily as the new enemy. I think the disappearance of the San Shyuum could be a reason to make a whole other trilogy of games. Many of you might not like that, but hey Halo still has some story potential. Imagine. A rejuvenated San Shyuum race coming back to reclaim their empire after years of dormancy. A moderately good way to start a new story.

Like why were there so few of them, and how did they achieve such powerful positions?[/quote]nearly all of them lived on high charity. Need I say more about how they all died? as for the rest, they won a war against the elites thousands of years ago, and formed the covenant. Prophets are the religious leaders, elites are the military might. [/quote] Actually, the way I hear it was a stalemate. Sort of a "we both have guns pointed at each other's heads" scenario. Then somebody got an idea and they formed an alliance. Any prophets not on High Charity likely suffered as well, as seen in The Return.[/quote]The prophets made themselves the political and religious leaders. That doesn't sound like a stalemate to me.
