Some time after the death of [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], the [[Servants of Abiding Truth]]'s dwindling presence on [[Sanghelios]] collapsed beneath the might of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], forcing the Servants to abandon the planet entirely in hopes of finding another way to retake the the planet.{{Ref/Novel|LoO|Chapter=5}}  

Following the death of [[Gek 'Lhar]] during the [[Requiem Campaign]], his Keep was thrown into chaos while simultaneously being ravaged by the civil conflict taking place on [[Kaepra]], [[Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=257}}

By early [[2558#March|March 2558]], Sanghelios was in a steady enough state for the Arbiter to take an impressive fleet to [[Ealen IV]] for a [[Attack on Ealen IV|peace conference]] with a [[Children of Oth Sonin|powerful Jiralhanae master pack]].{{Ref/Comic|Halo: Escalation, issue 1}}

At some point in late 2558, the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] launched an assault on [[Hesduros]] with the intent of killing 'Mdama and destroying his [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] for good. The offensive devastated multiple redoubts, including [[Panom keep]], but Jul was able to escape. The defeat did force his faction to completely abandon Hesduros, however.{{Ref/Novel|Id=LoO5|LoO|Chapter=5}}

Around [[2558#October|October 17, 2558]], the Covenant besieged Sanghelios; other factions on the planet fought back, leading to a planet-wide conflict.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual, page 95}} Covenant aligned assets on Sanghelios rose up to support their offensive, leading to most of the planet's [[city|city-states]] experiencing heavy fighting.{{Ref/Novel|LoO}} During the attack, [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] gained control of the city of [[Sunaion]] on Sanghelios and began formulating plans for an assault on Vadam. After becoming aware of this, the Swords of Sanghelios established a forward operating base in the ruins of Nuusra in hopes of striking the Covenant at Sunaion. {{Ref/Site|Id=universe|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/sunaion|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Locations|Page=Sunaion|D=13|M=4|Y=2016|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/sunaion.html}}

With the [[subjugation of Sanghelios]] in 2558, the planet was placed under a Created administrator. 'Vadam himself seemed to believe the Blooding Years were over by [[2559]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=OC1|Out|Chapter=1}}{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=2}} At least on Malurok, keeps had fallen into a form of detente while also under the Created.{{Ref/Reuse|en22pg233}}
