Welcome to the Iris (Halo 3 ARG) Wiki

ANNOUNCEMENT: As you may well have noticed, the Wiki was down for over a day, since early afternoon June 20th - this was due to an unexpected server migration with the hosting ISP. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. I'm not happy about the events that have occurred, but I am working to have the wiki back up to date as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and support.
