Qeynos Catacombs
From The EQMac Wiki
The Qeynos Catacombs is the vast ancient water supply to the city of Qeynos. The area was long ago walled off when it was no longer used, but then became the haven of the seedier elements of area, including the beggars and thieves, smugglers and thugs, and up to the members who worship the Plague Bringer himself.

Zone Description
Background
- There are two ways to access the underground sewer system of Qeynos. One may swim to the ocean floor just beyond the docks of north Qeynos and breach the gate there, or from within the city, one can dive down into the small pond just outside the bank. Upon entering the aqueducts, one will still be submerged in the salty, murky water of the sewers. After emerging from the waters, one will find themselves in a maze of simple construction. The aqueducts are heavily scarred from both salt water erosion and poor maintenance. Graffiti mars almost every wall of this place - oftentimes serving as warning sto those who dare to venture further. The sewers are home to an assortment of odd creatures, including giant sewer rats and sentient blobs of gelatinous ooze that feed off of whatever scum and waste that makes its way into their paths. Also, the dark, infectious shadow of the Plaguebringer is rumoured to reside here. However, the undead and other strange creatures that have fallen under their merciless rule have successfully prevented Qeynos officials from lunching a formal investigation to either confirm or deny the cult's existence.
Dangers
- Predatory sharks from the nearby waters of Erud's Crossing and the surrounding seas have found their way into the aqueduct system where they prey upon the unfortunate travelers that fall into the murky sea water maze. The sewers are also dangerous for those who have not been inducted into the secret cult of the Plaguebringer. The cult lurks in the nethermost depths of the aqueducts, operating beyond the sight of the Qeynos' goodly political institutions and civil laws. Many young citizens of Qeynos who have stumbled into the aqueduct system have never been heard from again, assumed dead or worse at the hands of the ghastly shadow that seeks to infect the city at its core.
Benefits
- The sewers provide an interesting environment for young adventurers just starting out. However, they are advised to travel in groups, lest they quickly become lost and perhaps subject to the merciless blades of the shadowknights that lurk in the depths. The small Plaguebringer cult resides in the sewers and all young neonates to the cult will embark on the first steps of their unholy mission in the murky catacombs. Initiates can purchase the supplies and provisions they will need to begin their mission of spreading the venomous word of the Plaguebringer.
