History

Founding and Frontier Duty

Jinzhou is the youngest of Huanglong’s provincial cities. From its founding, it has been charged with guarding the northern frontier against Tacet Discord tides. Successive magistrates have governed from the Frontier, while the Midnight Rangers maintain the northern defenses 8 12.

Documents concerning Jinzhou’s founding mention a female hero capable of absorbing Remnants into her body, who once saved Huanglong during the Threnodian War. Jinhsi believes Rover may be connected to this figure, but the relationship remains unconfirmed 37.

Curved Blade Campaign

During the campaign to reclaim the Norfall Barrens, Jinzhou’s prolonged offensive stalled against the Faceless Calamity, which could absorb weapon frequencies and turn the Echoes of the dead into Remnants. Former general Goshu Lin launched a decisive attack, but the ensuing disaster inflicted severe losses and left him missing 46 47.

Jiyan led the surviving Midnight Rangers out of encirclement and back to Desorock Highland. Their stand prevented the Tacet Discord tide from reaching Jinzhou City and preserved the army’s remaining strength. Jué subsequently selected Jiyan as the region’s next general 47.

Jinhsi’s Appointment

After the previous Magistrate stepped down, Jué left the position vacant for an extended period. Following the military crisis, the Sentinel selected Jinhsi, who was only thirteen or fourteen when she took office 46 47.

Her youth and inexperience initially drew criticism; public faith in Jué helped secure acceptance of her appointment. Chixia later credits Jinhsi with proving her ability by getting Jinzhou running smoothly in a short time 47.
