The chamber was believed to be a place of thought and worship dedicated to the [[High Prophet of Truth]], with a large stone statue of the [[Hierarch]] in the center of the room. The intention of the Garden of Reverent Contemplation was quiet solitude in honor of the High Prophet of Truth.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/high-charity '''Halo Waypoint''': ''High Charity'']</ref> The garden was also meant as a refuge for thought and meditation by senior [[Prelate]]s in the Prophet hierarchy. In its silent halls they could seek the solace of spirituality while contemplating the mysteries of the [[Forerunner]]s. A large tree taken from an unknown Forerunner location stood at the center of the garden as a symbol to signify life.<ref name="Map Pack">'''[[Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack Manual#Gemini|Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack Manual]]''' - Gemini</ref> Running around the front of the Garden was a balcony allowing worshipers to gaze down upon the main city and dome of High Charity, with the [[Keyship]] ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' at its center.{{Ref/Reuse|Gemini}} | |||
