Entries
The Record of Punished Deeds documented the history of the Covenant, as well as the title of Arbiter and the value and position it held in ancient sangheili history, from the War of Beginnings to the current era of the Covenant. It also detailed the Taming of the Lekgolo and the Unggoy Rebellion, detailing how two Arbiters were able to end the conflicts, incorporate the lekgolo and pacify the unggoy into the Covenant Armada. The last entry detailed the career of Fleetmaster Thel 'Vadamee, his eventual shame for losing the Battle of Installation 04, and his eventual appointment to Arbiter. As an ending note, the Prophet of Clarity gave his opinion on how 'Vadamee should have been executed, fearing for the existence of the Covenant with the Great Schism. With the Fall of High Charity, the document was destroyed alongside the holy city and its writer.
