| The '''Hanging Gardens''' were natural environment modules on the [[Covenant]] [[city|holy city]] ''[[High Charity]]''.<ref name="strategy">''[[Halo 2: The Official Strategy Guide]]'', p. 129</ref><ref name="gravemind">''Halo 2'', [[campaign]] level [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]</ref> The Hanging Gardens were suspended in mid-air between two towers along the inner rim of High Charity's dome, and were accessible by way of [[gravity bridge]]s. Each consisted of a flowing artificial river, six platforms containing soil and plant life, and a series of ramps and walkways. They provided an excellent view of the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] at the center of the city. Environmental modules known as [[Valleys of Tears]] were located nearby.{{Ref/Reuse|gravemind}}

| During the first hours of the [[Great Schism]], both [[Sangheili]]-led and the [[Jiralhanae]]-led Covenant groups tried to take the gardens. [[Special Operations Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] dueled with [[Jiralhanae]] forces, including several [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Jiralhanae Honor Guardsmen]] for control of the garden. Later on, two [[Sangheili Ranger]]s came to assist their allies. During his chase of the [[Prophet of Truth]], John-117 slew all Covenant forces in the area.{{Ref/Reuse|gravemind}}

| During the opening stages of the Great Schism, the Sangheili-led Covenant tried to attack the garden, but were repelled by the Jiralhanae. All Sangheili were slaughtered in the heated combat. John-117 arrived just in time to see two berserking Jiralhanae massacring the retreating Unggoy. The Chief and accompanying Marines slew them all during their pursuit to the Prophet of Truth.{{Ref/Reuse|gravemind}}
