'Vadam planned to visit each state to make his case for permanent peace with the humans they had battled for so many years.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 130''</ref> These reforms did not meet with universal approval. By [[2553#January|January 2553]], there was great dissent among disparate Sangheili factions, especially from the more devout believers in the Forerunners' divinity. Some, such as [[Avu Med 'Telcam]] and his [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]], saw the Arbiter as a traitorous leader that has betrayed their faith and sought to finish their war with humanity.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 58-61''</ref> | ||

However, the Arbiter learned of the Covenant's intentions and the Swords of Sanghelios created a forward operating base at [[Nuusra]] near the city, where they moved to attack the Covenant at Sunaion which resulted in the [[Battle of Sunaion]].
