The '''Valleys of Tears'''<ref>'''[[Halo 2: The Official Game Guide]]''', ''page 134''</ref> were natural environment modules on the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] holy city ''[[High Charity]]''. They were located between the towers near the edge of the city's main dome, and accessible by [[gravity conveyor]]s. Environmental modules known as [[Hanging Gardens]] were located nearby. Ponds in the valleys contained [[Covenant koi]].<ref name="gravemind">'''Halo 2''', [[campaign]] level, ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]''</ref> | |||

== | During the first hours of the [[Great Schism]] the Covenant loyalists and [[Thel 'Vadam's Covenant faction]] fought in these areas. At some point in the battle [[John-117]] passed through on his way to [[Far Tower]] in pursuit of the [[Prophet of Truth]]. It is assumed that after [[the Flood]] took over ''High Charity'' these areas were overrun with infection and may have been flooded after ''High Charity'' crashed into [[Installation 00|the Ark]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''</ref> | ||

Shortly afterward, the Covenant loyalists sought to retake the Valley of Tears A, sending forth [[Jiralhanae]] and [[Kig-yar Sniper]]s.

As with Valley A, it was the site of a battle between the Sangheili-led Covenant separatists and the Jiralhanae-led loyalists during the opening stages of the Great Schism. The separatists invaded from the north, while the loyalists from the south. In the center, there was a tremendous fray, with Jiralhanae engaging Sangheili, [[Sangheili Ranger]]s, and black-armored [[Special Operations Unggoy]] armed with [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|fuel rod guns]]. Keeping the separatist entryway to the valley secure were two [[Stealth Sangheili]] armed with [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy swords]] along with several Unggoy. During his pursuit of Truth, John-117 passed through the valley and eliminated the Covenant in the area.<ref name="gravemind"/> | |||
