Constructed by the Forerunners over 100,000 years ago, the structure is one of many Forerunner creations on Sanghelios that the planet's Sangheili inhabitants have come to revere as sacred, eventually building the city of Ontom around it. At some point, the religious order known as the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]] made the complex their main base of operations, a function it also filled during the Abiding Truth's resurgence following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] and the outbreak of the [[Blooding Years]]. The Abiding Truth, now a militant cult under the leadership of [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], coordinated their operations and stored large amounts of their arms and equipment in the structure.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 138-139''</ref>

In [[2553|March 2553]], the grounds of the temple became the site of a battle as a group of [[Jiralhanae]] servants rebelled against their Sangheili masters. [[Evan Phillips]], a human scientist covertly working for the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], was visiting Ontom at the time in order to gather data on the ancient Forerunner sites, and gained access to the structure at the permission of 'Telcam. Exploring the warrens, Phillips deciphered some of the Forerunner symbols and recorded his findings with the aid of a fragment of the [[Smart AI|AI]] [[Black-Box]]. Phillips and the BB fragment eventually found their way to the room with the translocation portal. Solving the arum-like activation system, Phillips was translocated to the portal's receiving end in Acroli.
