Saga wall

A Saga wall is a carved mural found in the keeps of Sangheili clans. A family's Saga wall commemorates the historical actions, sacrifices and legacies of its family's members. Sangheili warriors strive to preserve the story of their victories so that they may be recited for generations to come. During the Battle of Alpha Halo, Zuka 'Zamamee told his Elites that their story would be added in saga walls if they were victorious in the battle for Alpha Base.
