| ===Early life===
| | Pervading Stone was the leader of the [[Keepers of the Dawn]], the first San'Shyuum to be called Prophets. Having lost his father during the ground siege at [[Ulgethon]] in the first major battle of the [[War of Beginnings]], he spent years laying waste to [[Sangheili]] colonies and outposts despite the events at [[Codisfold]]. Silencing dissenters and elminating them when necessary, he continued his baleful campaign which he saw as the complete annihilation of all the Sangheili. After discovering the location of their homeworld, he ordered the [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]] to [[Sanghelios]] for one final attempt to sever the head of their foe. This led to an unexpected and decisive response from the Sangheili, who were eventually able to down the Dreadnought and storm the ship. Despite pleas from San'Shyuum advisers to consider striking a truce with the Sangheili, Stone refused to back down, leading to his death at the hands of his enemies.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} |
| Ekla'Maga'Sadow, who would come to be known as Pervading Stone, was born on the [[Forerunner]] [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]] in [[1041 BCE]]. He eventually became the leader of the [[Keepers of the Dawn]], the group of [[San'Shyuum]] that led the [[Reformists]]; they were also the first of their kind to be called Prophets.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}}

| ===War of Beginnings===
| |
| {{Main|War of Beginnings}}
| |
| Pervading Stone lost his father during the [[Desecration of Ulgethon|ground siege]] at [[Ulgethon]], the first major battle of the [[War of Beginnings]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}} Driven by revenge, Pervading Stone spent years leading the Reformists as they laid waste to [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili colonies|colonies]] and outposts. Even after the Sangheili's harrowing [[Raid at Codisfold|raid]] on the Dreadnought at [[Codisfold]], he continued his brutal campaign to completely annihilate the enemy.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}} He was known to silence and even eliminate dissenters, a group which began to grow in number following the revelation that the San'Shyuum were indeed still vulnerable aboard their [[keyship]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} He even went so far as to secretly order the assassination of [[Ushering Dusk]], a fellow member of the Keepers of the Dawn.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}} Dissent among the San'Shyuum grew even more when it was discovered that the Sangheili had begun to use Forerunner weapons against them. Still, Pervading Stone refused to entertain the possibility of peace with the Sangheili.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}}
| |
| | |
| Eventually, the San'Shyuum discovered the location of the Sangheili homeworld of [[Sanghelios]]. Pervading Stone brashly took the Dreadnought to the world, intending to sever the head of their enemy once and for all.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}} However, after some time of enduring the vessel's [[Battle of Sanghelios|attacks]] on Sanghelios and its two [[Natural satellite|moon]]s, [[Qikost]] and [[Suban]],{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} the Sangheili responded by turning their [[warship]]s armed with Forerunner-derived weaponry against the Dreadnought, shooting it down on Suban. There, it was held in place with [[gravity anchor]]s, effectively trapping the San'Shyuum inside. The Sangheili stormed the ship, debating whether to simply destroy it and its inhabitants outright or breach the vessel and take it for themselves.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}}

| ===Death and legacy===
| |
| By [[855 BCE]], as a result of Pervading Stone's refusal to request a truce with the Sangheili even in their vulnerable state, a swift and violent coup led by [[Breaking Shadow]] ended in the assassination of Pervading Stone.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}} Acting as the Reformists' new leader, Breaking Shadow began working toward peace with the Sangheili, and, in [[852 BCE]], sent an unarmed delegation to their enemies to recount what had happened over the last several years. Breaking Shadow and [[First Kaidon]] [[Pelahsar the Strident]] forged a tenuous alliance, forgiving the other's species for their past crimes. This was soon formalized in the [[Writ of Union]], the founding document of the [[Covenant]]. For centuries to come, the two species would live in relative peace, with the Sangheili managing military forces and the San'Shyuum providing religious insight and purpose.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}}
