The Second Battle of Vulpengaard Keep took place at Vulpengaard Keep in Yamato in 1017 AE. A rag-tag army consisting of the Akai Tora, the Forgotten and the Fellowship of Maar Sul fought against one of the Northern Horde's armies around the keep while Khasra III entered Xar Daeon in hopes of using the celestial city's innate powers to sever the link between it and the demons. Eventually Khasra succeeded, weakening the demons' regenerative powers and giving his companions an edge in the battle. The weakened demons were driven away as a result, and Vulpengaard Keep became the new stronghold of the Akai Tora and the Forgotten. The Southern Horde tried to take over the keep soon after but was also driven away.
