Jinzhou, the fortress city that guards the border of Huanglong, also stands as Huanglong's first border of entry for those arriving from overseas. The Mountains of Spirits stretch from north to south, splitting Huanglong into two regions: Inner Huanglon, home to six cities, and Outer Huanglong, where Jinzhou stands vigilant. These mountains form a natural barrier, with the gorges acting as the only gateway into Inner Huanglong, protected day and night by Jinzhou's Midnight Rangers.
The establishment of the first fortress in Outer Huanglong began with the emergence of the Norfall Barrens Tacet Field, where TD Outbreaks began to ravage the region. After enduring months of grueling combat, the army could no longer withstand the onslaught of the TD Outbreaks and was forced to retreat to the Gorges of Spirits, making their final stand. The warriors held their ground for days, fiercely battling as the defense lines were breached and reclaimed many times. During this time, the Waveworn Phenomenon across Huanglong appeared to be in an active phase, and it seemed as though the TDs were being led by a mysterious leader, aiming to converge in Inner Huanglong.
At the critical moment, reinforcements from the six cities were dispatched to the Gorges of Spirits, where the border warriors were still fighting with unwavering resolve. As the battle reached its peak, the appearance of the Crownless shattered the stalemate. Wherever the Crownless manifested, darkness enveloped the sky, and an oppressive atmosphere took hold, suffocating the warriors. Still, they held the line, willing to sacrifice themselves to buy time to destroy the entrance to the Gorges of Spirits and halt the TD Outbreak. They did so knowing it would trap most of them in Outer Huanglong with the TDs forever.
In that moment of life and death, a mighty Loong's roar emerged from the depths of the Gorges of Spirits, reverberating like thunder across the land. The roar burst forth from the Gorge, forcing back the TD army poised to flood in. In the blank of an eye, a Loong soared through the sky, scattering the dark clouds and bringing sunlight back to the land. Then, an otherwordly figure with golden eyes appeared, standing between the TDs and the warriors, confronting the Crownless in a fierce standoff. As the poem goes, "Armors gleam golden with Loong scales in the sun." As reinforcements from the six cities arrived, the united forces drove the TD Outbreaks and the Crownless back to the northern reaches of the Central Plains.
After this battle, Outer Huanglong was reborn from the ashes. The emergence of both the Threnodian and the holy creature signaled the need for a new city to rise and serve as Huanglong's border stronghold. Drawing inspiration from the "Jin" sound in "Guan Jin," meaning "the pass," and the form of Jin from the character symbolizing the roar of a Loong, this city was named Jinzhou.
