The walls of the chamber were lined with large bleacher-like seats, and it appeared much like a stadium in shape and a circular opera house in design. The [[San 'Shyuum]] and [[Sangheili]] [[Councilor]]s sat on opposite sides of the chamber. In the center of the chamber was a podium from which a member of the Covenant stood to speak or be judged. On one end of the chamber was the entrance to the [[Sanctum of the Hierarchs]] and from this end the three [[Hierarchs|High Prophets]] sat and addressed the Council. On the other end was an entrance, flanked by two Forerunner pillars, leading outside to open city of ''High Charity''. | The walls of the chamber were lined with large bleacher-like seats, and it appeared much like a stadium in shape and a circular opera house in design.

In the Chamber, the Gravemind interrogated the UNSC [[AI]] [[Cortana]] for more answers on the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]] inside the Council Chamber.
