When a [[Guardian]] was discovered off the coast of Qivro, ancient Sangheili [[elder]]s established stone fortresses on the continent's shore to observe and worship the immense construct.

After the [[Covenant]]'s collapse in [[2552]], Qivro became the focal point for the resulting [[Blooding Years|civil war]] when both the Swords of Sanghelios and [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] clashed on Sanghelios in [[2558#October|October 2558]]. 'Mdama wished to target the [[Vadam|ancestral lands]] of Arbiter [[Thel 'Vadam]] and Sunaion—off the coast of Qivro—was viewed as an optimal staging site, allowing the Covenant quick access to the coasts of [[Yermo]], including [[Vadam Harbor]] and the heavily fortified [[Kolaar Mountain]]s. After capturing Sunaion, the Covenant began formulating plans to assault Vadam, but the Swords of Sanghelios established a forward operating site among the ruins of [[Nuusra]] on Qivro. | After the [[Covenant]]'s collapse in [[2552]], Qivro became the focal point for the resulting [[Blooding Years|civil war]] when both the Swords of Sanghelios and [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] clashed on Sanghelios in [[2558#October|October 2558]].
