In time, the Sangheili learned of the San 'Shyuum's belief in the [[Great Journey]], where the Forerunners used the [[Halo Array]] to ascend to a god-like state, and wished to repeat this process on themselves. Coupled with this belief and the fact that the cause of war was obsolete, the Sangheili agreed to unite with the San 'Shyuum into an alliance to avoid mutual extinction. In [[852 BCE]], the two races signed a treaty known as the Writ of Union to form the early Covenant, which defined the two races positions: the San 'Shyuum would act as the religious leaders, studying the Forerunners' technology and seeking out the Halos, while the Sangheili would serve as their [[Covenant honor guard|protectors]], using weapons and technology developed by the San 'Shyuum. The Dreadnought was decommissioned and made the center point and power source of ''[[High Charity]]'', a mobile planetoid which would serve as the capital of the Covenant. | In time, the Sangheili learned of the San 'Shyuum's belief in the [[Great Journey]], where the Forerunners used the [[Halo Array]] to ascend to a god-like state, and wished to repeat this process on themselves.
