The Servents Abiding Truth, under the leadership of former [[Field Master]] [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], coordinated their operations and stored large amounts of their arms and equipment in the [[Temple of the Abiding Truth]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 138-139''</ref> Although the members of the Abiding Truth believed that the Covenant's [[Hierarchs|Prophets]] had been false and [[Great Schism|betrayed]] them,<ref name="SangheiliVsProphets" /> they still felt that the Forerunners were still gods and demanded reverence and respect. Consequently, they believed that [[Thel 'Vadam]] and those loyal to him were committing blasphemy by saying otherwise.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 20''</ref> A deal was later made between Telcam and the Office of Naval intelligence, where the Servants would receive arms from ONI in hopes of creating major unrest across Sangheilios. | |||
The Arbiter remained friendly to humanity and wished to build a mutual peace, with Thel believing that an alliance with humanity would bring about an era of everlasting peace. 'Vadam planned to visit each state to make his case for permanent peace with the [[human]]s they had battled for so many years. 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 [[Forerunner]]s' divinity.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 130''</ref> | |||
