'''Qivro''' is | [[File:H5G-Sanghelios Moons View.png|thumb|300px|The landscape of the continent of Qivro.]] | ||
'''Qivro''' is one of the five continents on [[Sanghelios]], the homeworld of the [[Sangheili]].<ref name="sanghelios">[[Halo Waypoint]]: [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/sanghelios ''Sanghelios'']</ref><ref name="bc21">''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]'', Chapter 21</ref> | |||
==History== | |||
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. Centuries later, the city of [[Sunaion]] was built near the Guardian.<ref name="sunaion">Halo Waypoint: [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/sunaion ''Sunaion'']</ref> Before the Sangheili became a spacefaring race, Qivro fell under the control of a tyrannical [[Arbiter]] [[Judge-King of Qivro|judge-king]]. The Arbiter was eventually overthrown by a coalition of [[kaidon]]s known as the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].<ref>Halo Waypoint: [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/swords-of-sanghelios ''Swords of Sanghelios'']</ref> | |||
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.{{Ref/Reuse|sunaion}} The resulting battles led to clashes throughout Sunaion and Nuusra, as the Arbiter and the Covenant [[Battle of Sunaion|fought]] for control of the Guardian off the continent's coast.{{Ref/Reuse|sunaion}} | |||
==Geography== | |||
Qivro is a continent on [[Sanghelios]], located to the east of [[Yermo]]; the two continents are separated by the [[Csurdon Sea]]. Along the western coast of Qivro is [[Nuusra]], a long and narrow territory on Qivro that is home to numerous temples and ruins.{{Ref/Reuse|sunaion}}<ref>''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'', Chapter 1</ref> The southern regions of the continent is home to the state of [[Zolam]],{{Ref/Reuse|bc21}} In the north of Zolam was a mountain range and vast plains, as well as the [[Temple of the Sundered Sky]], one of the many [[Forerunner]] structures still standing in Zolam.<ref>''Halo: Broken Circle'', Epilogue</ref> The wilderness of Qivro was home to the state of [[Bothaes]].<ref name="hitd">''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]'', Chapter 5</ref> | |||
The southern hills of the continent are home to ''[[maegophet]]'' and ''[[doarmir]]'', as well as the predatory ''[[helioskrill]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|bc21}} The ''[[kryn'qodon]]'' are semi-avian gliders which occupy the clefts and ridges in the more desolate upper-reaches of the Nuusra territory, scavenging carrion and hunting fist-sized dust mites. The ''[[orzil]]'' beetle is native to the western shores of Qivro, primarily thriving in mountainous coast of Nuusra.<ref name="fauna">Halo Waypoint: [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-fauna-getaway ''Canon Fodder - Fauna Getaway'']</ref> | |||
