-A large suspended sarcophagus held the special Arbiter armor until it was needed again. It is unknown if it's the same armor each time, as all Elites would (in reality) be different sizes. This is very noticeable between past arbiter [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and current Arbiter, [[Thel 'Vadam]], making it likely a sham by the Prophets, who keep the armor less advanced for religious reasons.
+A large suspended sarcophagus held the special Arbiter armor until it was needed again. It is unknown if it's the same armor each time, as all Elites would (in reality) be different sizes. This is very noticeable between past arbiter [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and current Arbiter, [[Thel 'Vadam]], making it likely a sham by the Prophets, who keep the armor less advanced for religious reasons. Another contributing factor to this theory is the destruction of Ripa 'Moramee's corpse at the Apex, meaning that the original armor of the Arbiter was not shared by all Arbiters.
 The Mausoleum of the Arbiter also contained the (recoverable) remains of every Elite that has ever been designated as the Arbiter. A total of 182 caskets are present spreading far up into the ceiling. Arbiters are only appointed in times of dire need, such as the [[Taming of the Hunters]], the [[Grunt Rebellion]], the [[Third Battle of Harvest]] and the Heretic Rebellion.
