Our website is under heavy maintenance and some sections may be unavailable to view.

Hello, we are the Sangheili Desinence, an all-Sangheili clan on Xbox Live. We play entirely on Halo: Reach, and are very competitive, but that doesn't stop us from having fun on the side. We have around 28 members and we're looking for more who are dedicated, loyal, disciplined, and interested in being part of a well-organized, structured, and competitive community.

Purpose and Background Information
The goal of the Sangheili Desinence is to redeem what used to be a prestigious and well-respected Halo community. It's leaders have been here since the beginning, and have seen the Sangheili devolve into war-mongering, backstabbing mongrels. We want to reverse this. No easy task, to be sure, but it will be worth it to see the Sangheili brought back to their peak.

The Writ of Union
The Writ of Union, the product of months of dedicated work by the Sangheili Desinence's High Command, is our central constitution. It explains the difference between "Sangheili" and "Elite" clans, and delves into the intricacies of our governmental organization. It is the most important document of our clan, and dictates order and peace within the SD proper.

Clan Structure
We have a ranking structure based off the Sangheili's in Halo canon, as well as various titles that can be earned or volunteered for in order to expand any member's responsibilities. We advocate members being in their proper ranks and titles, and we have exams and assessments to ensure that our members are where they belong. In order to compliment this system of ranks and titles, we have a grouping system that organizes our members in various combat units, used during training activities and clan matches to maintain order among our warriors.

Requirements
1) You are to own an Xbox 360, a microphone, and must own (and be capable of renewing) an Xbox Live Gold Account.
2) You must own the game Halo: Reach.
3) You must be willing to play as an Elite during online interactions, as well as follow the Uniform of Ranks system established in the SD.
4) You must understand this is a competitive clan and that we will be partaking in many competitive online events (training sessions, clan
matches, etc.). This meaning we will expect you to be an active participant, and that you will need to take such events seriously.
5) You must be willing to take and follow orders from higher-ranking officers. You will show respect to your peers.
6) We usually only accept members in North, Central, or South America due to time zones preventing some members from joining clan events. If there is an individual outside of that area that wishes to join then special circumstances can be met, given that the individual in question can make these events in full participation.
7) You must be MATURE.

Contact Information
If you are interested in joining the Sangheili Desinence, please contact Apex 'Jar Zanoee over Xbox Live in order to set up a formal interview and combat evaluation.

"We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

Just stick to one name and keep it, god damn it.

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

Just saying a lot of elite clans go through a renaming phase:

Sangheili Empire = Crusading Spirit Fleet

Elite Empire = Sovereign Guard

Covenant Armada = Sangheili Eminence

Sangheili Armed Forces = Something strange that I don't remember now.


And same with pete's thing with the blades of whatever. Although I don't consider that an elite clan.

Oddulrick has a new name every time he restarts though.
Just...ugh.

Ones I know of, in order:
Guardians of Sanghelios
Sangheili Eminence
Ascendant Eminence
Sangheili Desinence

And I know there's more I must be missing.

It's been a while since I've replied. Anyway, different clans go in different directions. Renaming clans symbolises a new beginning most of the time. Mine being no exception.
It went from Blades of Destruction to Blades of Aspiration. That renaming symbolised a new beginning.

I completely agree with Avu, Pete and Jax. However with Apex I can understand the changes. Since he originally had the Eminence name, he was trying to incorporate it into his new clan names. It is fine, however I think he has found his flow.

Nope, that's it. GoS was the pre-eminence.
The Ascendant Eminence was the name of my Covenant Fleet before we backed out, it was never officially named though.
Desinence is the name of my new armada, since the SE is being run by Zuno. I'm sticking with Desinence. Don't worry.

The name doesn't even make sense.

desinence

n
grammar an ending or termination, esp an inflectional ending of a word

[C16: from French desinence, from Latin desinens ending, from desinere to leave off, from de- + sinere to leave, permit]

des-i-nence [des-uh-nuhns]

noun
1. a termination or ending, as the final line of a verse.
2. Grammar . a termination, ending, or suffix of a word.


Looks like you're just trying to rip off the Sangheili Eminence name.

  • 02.28.2012 2:26 PM PDT

It's makes sense if you think really hard.

Also, rip-off? I founded it.

But it's not yours anymore, and it sounds like a cheap spin-off.
I see nothing clever about the name.

Ask me if I care.
