Since they have been broken up so to speak it would be neat the have them join the banished.
You mean Jul’s faction? I think it would be assumed that whatever remained of his faction would join the Arbiter, join Atriox, or quit warfare entirely. I don’t believe it needs to be explained in-game or anything.

Ya I never thought about arbiter that would make sense too because he was the stronger kaidon.
I thought Jul M’Dama and his Storm Covenant believed The Arbiter to be a traitor and a heratic. If anything they are more fanatical than the original Covenant and I can’t see them changing their beliefs to side with the Arbitor.
As for the Banished, maybe? But in that situation, I can’t see Atriox allowing the Storm to side with him. The Storm are closer to a religious terrorist group than they are anything else. I think even the UNSC has the Storm classified as terrorists. So while Atriox would welcome extra soldiers, he would be very very wary of allowing an unpredictable element like the Storm join him because they could turn on him pretty quickly.
The only path I see them taking (assuming that they don’t just get wiped out or break apart) is that their beliefs become even more radicalized and that they end up siding with the Prometheans and Cortana.
I think they are too radical that Atriox allow them to join the Banished.
Is that Sali Nyon(?) still about? Didn’t he get a mention as being someone Jul’s Covenant looked up to? Failing that maybe a merger with The Servants of Abiding Truth, heck even the Keepers of the One Freedom (not read the new book don’t know if they still exist).

Hmm thats a good point.
Most likely what remains of 'Mdama’s faction would just disperse into the groups named above, it really just comes down to the individual; as some even turned to the SOS after 'Mdama’s death before the faction fell like Rhu 'Vrath, where as others stayed loyal to the bitter end like Kitun 'Arach. The most fervent survivors i’d imagine would join 'Nyon or the Servants and the less pious perhaps the Banished or the Swords.

Sali 'Nyon hasn’t been mentioned much recently, so I’d assume his faction is still floating around. I think a few members of the Swords of Sanghelios also mentioned an interest in joining them. The Keepers of the One Freedom are also still kicking around, though they did take some fairly significant losses in Retribution, if I remember correctly.
I haven’t read it yet, but I looked at the spoilers, doesn’t Legacy of Onyx tell us that they isolate themselves inside a shield world to try and obtain a superweapon?

You’d be amazed what some people get outraged over when it’s not explained in-game.
However they’d likely join the Servants of the Abiding Truth. 'Telcam may have been assassinated, but Jul’s son escaped such actions and, being a high-ranking member of the faction, would likely lead it now.

My rule is if it’s not a plot hole or directly tied to the plot, then it doesn’t need to be explained. I doubt we’ll face the Servants of Abiding Truth in Halo 6, so maybe it’ll be saved for the future or in a book. As for right now, it appears all we’ll need to know about are the Banished and the Created.

Is this info in a novel ?
Halo 5 intel, there’s some intresting stories in there if you haven’t checked them out already.
