She was later present on the Forerunner [[capital]] during [[Mendicant Bias]]' assault. During [[Battle of the Capital|the battle]], she was instructed by her commanders to rescue at least two Councilors. She managed to retrieve [[First Councilor]] [[Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns]] and accidentally grabbed Bornstellar as well. Glory enveloped them in [[constraint field]]s and leaped out of the Capital's [[Buffer field|artificial gravity field]], shortly after being picked up by a [[Falco-class space pod]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 304-306''</ref> | ||

Glory was among the surviving Forerunners who took shelter on [[Installation 00]], or the lesser Ark, during the [[Great Purification]], and subsequently took part in the [[reintroduction]] phase of the [[Conservation Measure]]. Over a century after the Halos' firing, she accompanied the [[IsoDidact]] and a number of other Forerunners on a mission to [[Maethrillian]] to restore the [[Domain]]. After the group confronted the [[Precursor]] construct [[Abaddon]] in the [[Ecumene Council|Council]] amphitheater, Glory and [[Keeper-of-Stone-Songs]] remained alongside Splendid Dust, who chose to wait for his trial by Abaddon, ostensibly to buy time for Bornstellar and several others as they pushed on toward the [[Mysterium]]. While the other Forerunners eventually managed to stop Abaddon and revive the Domain, they were not successful before the vengeful Precursor intelligence rendered its judgment on Glory-of-a-Far-Dawn and vaporized her, along with Keeper-of-Stone-Songs.{{Ref/Reuse|ptk}} | |||
