As the Great Schism went on, the Sangheili continued their [[Sangheili-Jiralhanae war|fight]] against the [[Jiralhanae]]. This was proving largely unsuccessful and the Sangheili were accepting serious losses. Without the Covenant to provide them with ships, technology, and repairs, they slowly lost warships and technologies they could not repair or replace. After the San'Shyuum went into hiding, the Sangheili began to prevail against the Jiralhanae, who in turn began to fight among themselves. Having abandoned the Covenant, the Sangheili were now in a state of mass confusion in regards to their religion, because even though the San'Shyuum lied to them, they had still given them purpose for their actions. Many Sangheili were still religiously devoted to the Forerunners and were attempting to uncover the meaning of their faith.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "[[The Return]]"</ref> | As the Great Schism went on, the Sangheili continued their [[Sangheili-Jiralhanae war|fight]] against the [[Jiralhanae]].
