2152


 * Circa 2152, the Sangheili Arbiter Fal 'Chavamee refuses to accept the Covenant religion and is charged with heresy by a High Prophet. By order of the Prophet, a Sangheili named Haka attempts to bring Fal to ruin. Haka forces Roh, Fal's friend, to murder Fal's wife, Han. Haka kills Roh shortly after. An army of Sangheili, Kig-Yar, Unggoy, and Mgalekgolo, accompanied by Type-26 Wraiths and Type-32 Ghosts, charges against Fal. Fal kills the entire attacking force. Atop a Forerunner structure, Fal and Haka finally duel. The duel ends with both fighters killed by the other's hand. As a result of Fal's actions, the rank of Arbiter is stripped of its former prestige, and is given only to Sangheili who have brought shame to both themselves and the Covenant until four centuries later.
