Hesduron Sangheili tend to be extremely religious and the entire culture on the planet is shaped significantly by the monasticism sought by those who originally settled it. Hesduros has always been a haven for traditionalists and isolationists. Worship of the Forerunners as gods is taken for granted and many from the colony wish to actively enforce their beliefs on other Sangheili who have strayed from orthodoxy. The colonists refer to the portals on the planet as "holy gates" and pronounced anyone whom attempted to access them defilers or blasphemers.{{Ref/Reuse|TTW16}} When Jul emerged from one of the holy gates, it was taken as a sign that the gods had sent him to them. Writing left behind by the Forerunners on Hesduros which spoke of a [[Didact|holy warrior]] caused a doctrine to develop concerning the imminent return of this Forerunner to aid the faithful in their hour of need.{{Ref/Reuse|TTW16}} Monks on Hesduros adorn themselves with glyphs of Forerunner script.{{Ref/Reuse|TTW16}}
