'''Blademaster''' is a title used by [[Sangheili]] to indicate a Sangheili-ai, a master [[martial arts|swordsman]]. | '''Blademaster''' is a title used by [[Sangheili]] to indicate a Sangheili-ai, a master [[martial arts|swordsman]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoI|HSoI}} The "-ai" suffix is applied to the surnames of blademasters, an honorific bestowed upon the Sangheili in a ceremony after they choose to dedicate their life to the perfection of their swordsmanship.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc131|Enc11|Page=131}} Variations of suffix exist; for example, the "-dai" suffix specifically denotes a swordmaster in the short-path method of combat.{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=7|Quote=She had the same surname as her kaidon—Varo—because she was of the same clan, and the same suffix—dai—because she was also a swordmaster in the short-path method of combat.}} Blademasters are entitled to wear gilded armor, denoting their master rank.{{Ref/Reuse|SoI}} | ||
Toha 'Sumai was one of the preeminent swordfighters of his time, though the [[aristocrat]]ic 'Sumai [[clan]] appears to bear the "-ai" suffix in perpetuity; the family's [[Sumai keep|keep]] and all known members of the clan both hold the honorific.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/usze-taham|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Usze 'Taham|D=14|M=5|Y=2021}} However, some Blademasters, such as Vul 'Soran and Okro 'Vagaduun, lack the "-ai" suffix.{{Ref/Reuse|SoI}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=Sacrifice|HSoR|Detail=Adjunct - [[Sacrifice]]}} | |||
