{{Main|War of Beginnings}}
In [[938 BCE]], the [[Reformist]] [[San'Shyuum]] landed on the [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili colonies|frontier world]] of [[Ulgethon]] and sent a delegation to meet with [[Arbiter]] Vema 'Togad. Due to the Reformists' view that [[Forerunner]] technology should be used and studied, a notion that was considered blasphemous by the Sangheili, 'Togad used his sword to behead the members of the delegation. He sent the severed heads of the delegation back to the rest of the San'Shyuum on their [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]].{{Ref/Reuse|H2A Terminals}} When the San'Shyuum found the delegation's mangled remains, they took the Dreadnought into the skies over Ulgethon only to be met by a fleet of Sangheili warships. However, the Dreadnought proved impervious to their weapons and the fleet was destroyed,{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P191|Enc22|Page=191}} though [[Desecration of Ulgethon|the fighting]] continued on the surface of the world for a year.{{Ref/Book|Id=Mythos|HM|Page=39-40}} Arbiter Vema 'Togad valiantly led the Sangheili in this bloody terrestrial conflict,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P244}} but the San'Shyuum ultimately succeeded in razing Ulgethon.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} The war would eventually lead to the signing of the [[Writ of Union]] by [[Pelahsar the Strident]] and the creation of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|H2A Terminals}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}}

Due to the Reformists' view that [[Forerunner]] technology should be used and studied, a notion that was considered blasphemous by the Sangheili, the Arbiter used his sword to behead the members of the delegation. When the San'Shyuum discovered this, a war between the two species broke out. The war would eventually lead to the signing of the [[Writ of Union]] by the Arbiter's fellow leader, [[Pelahsar the Strident]], and the creation of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|H2A Terminals}}


===Legacy in the Covenant===
===Age of the Covenant===
Vema 'Togad's intimidating presence and ferocity on the battlefield during the war led the San'Shyuum to preserve the title of Arbiter as a highly honored warrior position in the newly formed Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P244}}
In [[2552]], millennia after the war, a [[Unidentified San'Shyuum scribe|San'Shyuum scribe]] mentioned the Arbiter and his role in instigating the War of Beginnings as part of ''[[The Punished Deeds]]'', a Covenant document detailing the history of the empire and its member species.{{Ref/Reuse|H2A Terminals}}
