| ==History==
| |
| The Bekan keep is surrounded by an impressive landscape. To the east, the nearby hills were stepped with terraces of fruit vines, and to the west, fields stretched around the nearby lake. Located in close proximity to the keep was the [[Bekan quarry]]. For centuries, generations of the Mdama [[clan]] had worked hard to ensure the landscape was preserved.{{Ref/Reuse|Glasslands}}

| [[Jul 'Mdama]] was the [[elder]] of the keep. During the [[Human-Covenant War]], his wife [[Raia 'Mdama]] was in charge of the estate and maintained it along with her great-uncle [[Naxan]], who also trained the resident children in [[martial arts|hand-to-hand combat]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/headline/the-halo-bulletin-101211-exclusive-book-excerpt-glasslands/280887 '''Halo Waypoint-''' ''The Halo Bulletin: 10/12/11, Exclusive Book Excerpt - Glasslands'']</ref> When the [[Great Schism|Covenant empire collapsed]], Raia was determined to learn agriculture to prevent a food shortage. She consulted thousand-year-old records regarding food production from the keep's vault and began constructing a drying barn.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 133-134''</ref> After Jul went missing, Raia set out to search for him and left her sister [[Umira]] in charge of the farm and the keep's accounts.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 76''</ref> Following the disappearance of Jul and the death of Raia, Naxan became the elder of Bekan keep.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''Epilogue''</ref>
