They were originally regular salamanders that the dragonkin kept as test subjects, but were released by the Aughra before some of them committed suicide to escape the pain of their curse. Skeka intended to switch her mind with Raksha's to escape the curse, but the Moksha device malfunctioned and caused parts of her mind to be switched with the salamanders.[1][2] The salamanders named themselves xolo and built Xolo City near the location where Raksha was imprisoned.[3]
Xolo city was discovered by the Archaeology Guild in the Sixth Age. It is implied that the xolo still exist in some form, as the archaeologists have reported missing tools and heard whispers in the city.[4]
- Xolo architecture is based on Mayan and Aztec architecture.
- It is unknown whether they are connected to yellow salamanders, a colony of which can be found west of Xolo City.
- ^ Raksha (Archaeology), written by Skeka, RuneScape. "This pain! Why is this happening? Most of my Aughra kin have fled back into the Abyss, finding a place to free their minds from this torment! My own acolytes have flung themselves to the Raksha in a bid to escape, though not before freeing all our test salamanders! Even in such agony, they show their consideration for others. I have another plan to escape this pain-wracked body! My device! I shall throw myself, my mind, INTO the Raksha! I will become! My device is charging! I hope this works. This has to work..."

- ^ One... Voice..., RuneScape. "Move... Near... Raksha...We... Build... City...Saurthen...Lizard... City...Much... Gold... Needed...Will... Become...One... Voice...But... For... Now...We... Are... Xolo..."
- ^ Archaeology journal, RuneScape. "The model city built of gold within the ruins of Orthen is as mysterious as mysteries come. Archaeologists have been reporting tools going missing and think they keep hearing hushed whispering, but none of this is yet substantiated"
