===War of Beginnings=== | |||
In [[938 BCE]], the San'Shyuum arrived at the Sangheili [[Sangheili colonies|colony]] world of [[Ulgethon]], an event that ultimately sparked [[War of Beginnings|a conflict]] between the two species that would last decades. At some point following [[876 BCE]], the San'Shyuum had brought their [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]] to the [[Urs system]], ravaging both [[Sanghelios]] and its [[Natural satellite|moon]]s. However, as the Sangheili had finally resolved to use their holy [[Forerunner]] weapons on their attackers out of desperation, they managed to bring down the [[keyship]] on Suban. There, the Sangheili kept it and the San'Shyuum within trapped for some time using [[gravity anchor]]s, debating whether they should simply destroy the vessel outright or risk breaching it to take it for themselves. Ultimately, following a coup among the San'Shyuum in the Dreadnought, an unarmed delegation was sent to the Sangheili in [[852 BCE]], and the two species forged a truce, leading to the formation of the Covenant.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P191|Enc22|Page=191}} Despite the worship of the Forerunners being central to the Covenant, an element of the [[Writ of Union]] permitted orthodox lacuna monks and select ascetic priests to continue to observe ancient religious practices at the Spire of Miatistina. However, these agreements would rarely be honored as the centuries passed.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P231}} | |||
