About

In 3870, Xiunzii, an Hemicyon from the Xirkaali Empire, was scouting out the Ruins of Haelthorn which was currently occupied by the Salamanders. Eariler Lyncheng, who was another Hemicyon scout, had captured one of the Salamanders sentries to find out information and learnt about Haelthorn being reoccupied and fortified.

Xiunzii and a force of Plainstalkers and Wildfangs (including Lyncheng, Heishu and Jingkhora) were planning to sneak behind the Salamanders and ambush their forces when the Salamanders launch their main attack against the Xirkaali Empire forces which hopefully results in the taking of Haelthorn
