An administrator was installed to a position of power. All [[keep|keephold]] forces were disarmed and disbanded and local security was to be handled by [[armiger]]s. Three days after the [[Razing of Oth Sonin]], a [[High Gathering]] was held between Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and several [[High Kaidon|high kaidon]]s. Here, the Arbiter proposed the [[Concert of Worlds]], a formal alliance between all Sangheili planets, including Sanghelios. However, the lack of commitment seen at the meeting led the Arbiter to suspect that many of the high kaidons were placing their own interests above the need to stand strong and united against the threats of the [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]], mercenaries, and even [[San'Shyuum flotilla|vestiges]] of the [[San'Shyuum]].{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=1|Quote=Perhaps the high kaidons wanted the Sangheili to remain divided and weak. That was the only explanation Arbiter Thel ‘Vadam could imagine for their squabbling and intransigence, for putting their own interests above the need to stand strong and united. Did they truly expect the Tyrant’s “peace” to protect Sangheili space from the encroachments of the Jiralhanae and the Kig-Yar?}} | ||
After Cortana's death on [[Installation 07]], the Created relinquished their grip on Sanghelios and the rest of Urs system. While many keeps and kaidons on Sanghelios remained steadfast in their support on the Swords of Sanghelios, others sought other factions to pledge their allegiances, with the Banished being well received by some keeps; some of these keeps even allowed the Banished to enter the Urs systems without problems, starting a [[Battle of Suban|conflict]] between the Swords and the Banished on Sanghelios' moon, Suban.{{Ref/Reuse|BftBM}} | |||
