== Discovery of Halcyon-on-the-Ridge ==
Yiseren's most significant achievement was locating '''Halcyon-on-the-Ridge''', the hidden city of the [[Riders of Zûnra Fold]] on [[Pleuthair]].

=== The Zûnra Fold Deception ===
For three generations, the Riders appeared to be purely nomadic, conducting raids on:
* [[Sterf]]-to-village caravan routes
* [[Glassback]] provision flights
* Trade outposts near the sterfs

Yiseren's reconnaissance revealed:
<blockquote>"The wildmen present a careful theater. By day they ride their families in endless circles through the same valleys, creating dust clouds visible from the sterfs. By night, they retreat to Halcyon-on-the-Ridge, a city carved into the reverse face of the [[Pleuthair]] mountain chain. The entrance is accessible only during the third moon's waning, when shadows align to reveal the carved steps."</blockquote>

=== Strategic Impact ===
This discovery:
* Ended three generations of successful raids
* Revealed sophisticated deception capabilities among fendrils
* Changed military doctrine regarding "primitive" populations
* Led to the capture of Halcyon-on-the-Ridge
