Mdama: Difference between revisions

{{Status|Canon}}

'''Mdama''' is a [[Sangheili]] state on [[Sanghelios]]. Like all other states, Mdama is home to many [[keep]]s belonging to the 'Mdama [[clan]]. These include [[Mdama keep]], [[Bekan keep]], [[Curo keep]] and [[Relon]]'s keep. A [[Forerunner]] monument, a three-sided spire that had been broken five meters off the ground, could be found on the Relon clan's farmland.<ref>'''[[Halo: Glasslands]]''', ''page 90''</ref>

Compared to the other urban city-states of Sanghelios, Mdama was considered a rural backwater state. However, following the [[Great Schism]], Sangheili society found itself struggling with basic food production and power quickly shifted towards agriculture on the planet. Because many Sangheili states relied on imported food, the backcountry of Mdama suddenly gained new power due its fertile farmlands.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 133''</ref>

Shortly after the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] visited the state. The state's [[kaidon]], [[Levu 'Mdama]], and the rest of Mdama's [[elder]]s convened together and listened to 'Vadam's proposal of a peace treaty with [[Human|humanity]]. Although Kaidon Levu did not want a truce with the humans, he nonetheless supported 'Vadam knowing that they were in no shape to attack them.<ref name="gl52">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 52-62''</ref> Elders [[Jul 'Mdama]] and [[Forze 'Mdama]] opposed the Arbiter and later sought the help of the ''[[Servants of the Abiding Truth|Neru Pe 'Odosima]]'' to plot against him. By [[2558]], Mdama State apparently supported the new Covenant's cause during the ensuing [[Blooding Years]] with [[Mdama keep]] providing the faction with [[Type-1 energy sword|energy swords]] that burned less intensely and did not cauterize.<ref name="Alliance">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level, ''[[Alliance]]''</ref>
