Qeynos

History Edit

Qeynos was founded by human settlers during The Age of Enlightenment around a village on the Coldwind Coastline . The newly settled village was called Oceangreen, most likely in honor of the ample fishing on the coast and hunting in the plains that drew the villagers there in the first place. The location of Qeynos was chosen not only for its ability to feed the villagers and plains settlers, but also because of its defensibility against attack. It has been ruled by members of The Bayle Family since its founding.

Qeynos is named after the sword, the Qeynos Claymore . The word itself is an old Combine Empire-era slang term roughly translating to "manifest destiny for humanity."

The city was officially incorporated in 2890.

Qeynos Rises Edit

With LU64 also known as Qeynos Rises, Qeynos has now been consolidated into two zones. Qeynos Capitol District combined North and South Qeynos. Qeynos Province District combined Qeynos Harbor and Elddar Grove.

The following "suburbs" were retired and are now only used for quests, but the history of their residents is retained below.

• The Willow Wood , home of the Wood Elves and Half Elves
• Nettleville , where Humans and Kerrans have taken up residence.
• Starcrest Commune , where Erudites reside.
• Graystone Yard , home of the Dwarves and Barbarians
• Castleview Hamlet , where the Frogloks and High Elves make their home
• The Baubbleshire , carefree home of Halflings and Gnomes .

Qeynos Province District zone is comprised of both:

• The Elddar Grove - Tunarian Watch ( Scout Guild)
