A monumental ceremony, the Ascension draws out tens of thousands of spectators, due to its rare occurrence. It takes place in ''[[High Charity]]'', specifically on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. Once the [[High Council]] has formally declared the beginning of a new [[History of the Covenant|Age]], the three new Hierarchs leave the [[High Council Chamber]] to travel to the Dreadnought. Once they arrive, each San'Shyuum ascends one of the three legs of the ship until they reach the place where [[Mendicant Bias]] has been chained in order to receive the blessing from their "Oracle". They then address the crowd waiting below and declare their new names, after which holographic representations of the [[Halo Array]] appear around the Dreadnought, with the [[Forerunner symbols|Forerunner glyph]] representing the new age appearing in the rings.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', "Epilogue"</ref> | A monumental ceremony, the Ascension draws out tens of thousands of spectators, due to its rare occurrence.
