The Mausoleum of the Arbiter initially appeared after Thel was | The Mausoleum of the Arbiter initially appeared after Thel was branded with the [[Mark of Shame]], and [[Thel 'Vadamee]] was taken to the mausoleum by Tartarus and his two [[Brute]] ushers. The [[Prophet of Truth]] and the [[Prophet of Mercy]] ordered Tartarus to release 'Vadamee and leave. After this, they started to converse with him about the [[Heretic Leader]] and the past Arbiters, ultimately appointing him the new Arbiter and giving him the ornate armor of the Arbiter there. | ||
Some time later, [[John-117]] had to engage in a large-scale battle inside the mausoleum in order to go further into ''High Charity'' and find the platform with the [[Phantom]]s that were used to transport Truth, Mercy, Tartarus, [[Miranda Keyes]] and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] to their respective locations. | |||
The Mausoleum was last seen visible in ''[[Halo 3]]'' during the level [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]. It is seen at different points through the "windows" formed by the [[Flood]]'s consumption of the city. Energy cascades across the surface leaned dangerously over to the side and cables hung from the shattered bridges around the tower. It can be assumed that the Mausoleum and the Vanguards of the Great Journey entombed within were destroyed when ''[[High Charity]]'s'' reactor went critical, as spurred by Spartan-117 in the previous raid, and destroyed the Flood Infected city. | The Mausoleum was last seen visible in ''[[Halo 3]]'' during the level [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]].

*In the early version of the level Cortana, Master Chief would have passed through the Mausoleum, encountering an army of Flood-infected Arbiters. This idea was scrapped however, when both Flood levels were redesigned, possibly because the Arbiters would have been armorless. Another reason could be that over time, the Arbiter bodies could have decomposed like normal bodies after being in the caskets for so long. It is possible that some method of preservation is used in the caskets, but due to the fact that most Arbiters are only respected because of their title (if that much, being that the rank of Arbiter implies a great amount of lost honor, as Arbiters undergo their suicidal mission as a means to regain that honor), it is unlikely.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=13849, in the power point</ref> | *In the early version of the level Cortana, Master Chief would have passed through the Mausoleum, encountering an army of Flood-infected Arbiters.

*It would seem that the Mausoleum was located close to the Detention Center, as seen in the cutscene level [[The Heretic (level)]]. However, the path taken in [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]] reveals the two to be much farther away from each other. | *It would seem that the Mausoleum was located close to the Detention Center, as seen in the cutscene level [[The Heretic (level)]].

*The Mausoleum was the location in which Breaking Benjamin's [[Blow Me Away]] is played in-game during the fight between [[Covenant Loyalists]] and [[Covenant Separatists]]. | |||
