The Punished Deeds[1] is a document where the Covenant store data. Part of the document was published by a San'Shyuum scribe in November 2552 on High Charity.[2]
The number of volumes is unknown, but it has at least three volumes. The document regarded the history of the Covenant, as well as its founding species: the San'Shyuum and Sangheili.[2]
Entries
The Punished Deeds documented the history of the Arbiter and its role in early Sangheili history, the San'Shyuum-Sangheili War, and the Covenant.[2] The Taming of the Lekgolo, and how the Arbiter ended the war and helped incorporate the Lekgolo into the Covenant was also included in the document.[3] The Unggoy Rebellion, its quelling by an Arbiter, and the Unggoy's acceptance into the Covenant military was also documented in the record of The Punished Deeds.[4] Finally, the document recorded the career of Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee and his eventual elevation to Arbiter. The scribe included his own opinion that Thel 'Vadamee should not have been given the title of Arbiter due to the threat he poses to the Covenant, following the Great Schism.[5]
The Punished Deeds, Vol. III
The Punished Deeds notes that Ripa 'Moramee "has no fear of death". The Arbiter, before entering any Relic, sends in a group of Unggoy to check for danger. If there was danger, he would make the Unggoy detonate their methane tanks.[1] This policy is very interesting, in that it both contradicts 'Moramee's fearless disposition (and the honor of a Sangheili in general), and that it seems contrary to Covenant procedures for dealing with relics, where any and all unnecessary damage to the item or structure is to be avoided.
It also notes that the Prophet of Regret used manipulation and blackmail against the High Prophet of Restraint to gain his position as a High Prophet.[1]
