Mentioning the Arbiter would he not be a strong leader for his faction ? I think there has been some sort of oversight even if the Elites have grown reliant on Prophets for wepons armor or the like. Would not his goal to be uncover secrets of the past. His people probably hid them. It would be a great story. Still yes and no about Elites being demoralized. I just feel with the portrayal they are some how living in mud huts and have no direction ? Thursday War seems to give this impression. Unless the Sangheili wish to slink back into no tech. Two paths lay open. First they change ways then begin to understand the tech they use by looking to the Elites from the past. Second they acquire tech from Prophets to keep ships in operation and such by capturing factories ect. Third option is just to live on there planet with no tech and let it all go. Now i doubt a race of warriors would choose option three knowing what would happen should any of Truths Zealots find a ring. Still 343i does not explain nor has any writer explained or i have herd about why this is ?. Arbiter has a big faction. Yet they need rest but my question is what is going on ? Why are they not pursuing means to keep wepons or fleet in working condition ? Sit and wait, Yet it seemed at the End of H3 he might go home then take the fight to some Brutes or even Secure the Halo Rings. I am baffled but i hope some how one or two things happen. Arbiter kicks butt gets tech to repair his fleet knowing it is vital. Or They just cast off Covy Tech to make there own and Learn what is to farm or have an economy. Also what happened to the other races ? Are they stranded on Planets ? Other factions exist who oppose Arbiter, Who are they ? End of the War it was unclear what direction the Covys would take as the leaders betrayed Elites and the other races supported the Prophets so who's supporting who ?
