Featured article: Orda Val 'Saham An honor guard serving aboard the Enduring Conviction, Orda Val 'Saham remained loyal to Shipmaster Let 'Volir following the Great Schism and his renunciation of the Covenant religion. As his family had condemned their faith even when the lies of the San'Shyuum were revealed, 'Saham became estranged from his clan. Even when Let 'Volir pledged his allegiance to the mercenary organization known as the Banished, 'Saham's loyalty to his shipmaster did not waver and he accompanied the Banished's expedition to the Ark. When the UNSC Spirit of Fire mysteriously arrived at the installation, Decimus ordered 'Saham to defend the Ark's teleportation grid which the Banished had been using to transport materiel. However, following the destruction of the Enduring Conviction and the realization that the UNSC intended to capture the Halo ring within the Ark's Forge, 'Saham was given command of a Scarab and assigned to guard one of the access points to ring.

Featured quote “ In this hour of victory, we taste only defeat. I ask, why? We are Forerunners, guardians of all that exists. The roots of the galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms... And the impervious shelter beneath which it has prospered. I stand before you, accused of the sin of ensuring Forerunner ascendancy. Of attempting to save us from this fate where we are forced to... recede. Humanity stands as the greatest threat in the galaxy. Refusing to eradicate them is a fool's gambit. We squander eons in the darkness, while they seize our triumphs for their own. The Mantle of responsibility for all things belongs to Forerunners alone. Think of my acts as you will. But do not doubt the reality: the Reclamation... has already begun. And we are hopeless to stop it. —Ur-Didact, Epilogue, Halo 4 ” Nominate and vote for your favorite quote! Community chat
