"May the Great Journey await you, may your enemies writhe in hell, and your line continued forward, and gain honor...
May your scattered body go, beyond the limits of your mind...
Beyond the limits of our worlds
To the places our ancestors dream and sang of
And the Prophets speak of.
"
— Thel 'Vadamee[1]

The Sangheili Death Benediction was a War Poem that Sangheili warriors would cite if one of their allies committed a dishonorable act.

A notable example is Jora 'Konaree, who hurled himself at a group of Kig-yar during a battle. Doing so, he became crippled and imprisoned. He decided that the most honorable way to die and the only way to restore his family's lineage was to kill himself.
