Qeynos

Qeynos is one of the two capital cities for humans, along with its sister city Freeport, and is located on the continent Antonica. Qeynos is built upon the rocky cliffs at the mid-western edge of the continent facing Erud's Crossing, the sea between Antonica and Odus, which gives it a natural defense from the west. Qeynos is surrounded on all other sides by relatively flat, lush, fertile fields of green.

Qeynos was founded after an internal dispute between the humans of Oceangrove, the first founded human city, divided them into three. One group stayed behind, another group traveled west and founded Qeynos, and the last group traveled east and founded Freeport. The group of humans that founded Qeynos was led by Antonius Bayle, a just and humble man who never abused his power and always believed himself to be just one of the regular folk; when the commonfolk would call him their king, he would correct them and say he's "more of a person who is simply guiding his family". He couldn't deny the fact that everybody looked up to him for judgment and guidance, so he begrudgingly bore the mantle of "leader". His family line would always lead Qeynos just as fair and justly as he did, never bringing shame or dishonor to their family name.

Over time, Qeynos attracted many people and grew so much that it was decided they needed to expand their borders. Everything inside the original walls of the city are now referred to as "Inner Qeynos" and the surrounding areas of the city are divided up into wards, which is walled off to the outside by one giant wall.

Qeynos is home to several organizations, too many to name, but the most notable of those are the Clerics of Rodcet Nife, the Paladins of Karana, the Qeynos College of Bards, and the up-and-coming adventurer's guild, The Wardens.
