| Ontom is a very old and wealthy state on [[Sanghelios]]. The state is the home of the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]]'s headquarters, a [[Forerunner]] structure known as the [[Temple of the Abiding Truth]], which the Servants were allowed to keep after the alliance with the [[San'Shyuum]] and the formation of the [[Covenant]]. The state's architecture is a blend of pre-Covenant and modern-era buildings. [[Jul 'Mdama|Jul]] and [[Forze 'Mdama]] visited this state when they decided to join the Servants in their campaign against [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 136''</ref> | | Ontom was a very old and wealthy state on Sangheilios.

| In [[2553#March|March 2553]], Ontom was [[Terrorism|attacked]] by a force of [[Jiralhanae]] insurgents. A bomb was detonated near the Servants of Abiding Truth's headquarters, killing several Sangheili and separating [[Evan Phillips]], a [[human]] [[Xenoanthropology|xenoanthropologist]] on a mission to Sanghelios, from the rest of his team. A short time after the first bombing, a group of Jiralhanae attacked again but were quickly put down by the city militia.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''pages 22-23''</ref> A Jiralhanae from this attack was captured and killed by a mob, but soon afterward a third attack commenced.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 25''</ref>
