The Qeynos Hills connect the city of Qeynos to Surefall Glade and the Plains of Karana.
There is also an entrance to Blackburrow, dungeon of the Sabertooth Gnolls.

With low level wandering animals, undead and gnolls, and protection from wandering Qeynos guards and residents, this area is fairly tame. Two popular finds here are the Fishbone Earring and Glowing Black Stone.

I just started walking, and then I started thinking about all sorts of things. I can't even really remember. Have I mentioned I haven't slept in a couple of days? Darin is worried about me, isn't he? I'd better get home. Thank you!'

I have a lvl 9 Druid running loose in Q Hills and was hunting the gnolls in front of the zone to Blackburrow when out of nowhere came a group of 5-6 very red Ancient Blackburrow misc classes and killed me in 1 hit. I went back and found my corpse and these guys again nowhere to be seen. I then sat on the sidelines and watched the area of the zone and again these gnolls came from nowhere and ran straight out into the Q Hills.

I have been through the hills many, many times with low level toons, less than 30, and have never run across the riftpaw gnolls, except a couple minutes ago. My lvl 20 paladin was trying to get to surefall, and it came at me from behind, and I was dead. NO ifs, ands, or buts about it!!!!!! Never have I seen them before.

The Hut in front of BB
# May 31 2007 at 6:46 PM Rating: Decent
okay so one day on my little Barb. War. I was just walking out of BB to Qeynos hills to See "Holly Windstalker" walking about 20 or so steps in front of the little hut with the fire in front of it with the Erudite in front of it.

So I am like "cool whatever" so I run up to Holly.

Then BAM!!

She walks into the Hut, it does some little freaky turn (like a 180* turn or something)

Then it shifts back when she goes through to the other side.

WTF???

I did some investigating and if you wander a few steps back and click on the hut it'll say "you have to be closer" or something like that.

anyone know what the "hut" is for??

I'd like to know.

new NPC...dark blue to a 65 ranger...when hailed says [Tue May 24 15:43:02 2005] You say, 'Hail, Guard Freklin'
[Tue May 24 15:43:02 2005] Guard Freklin says 'Hail Tolrem, well met. So what brings you out to this area of the hills, I know [the reason] I am stuck out here.''
[Tue May 24 15:43:08 2005] You say, 'what is the reason'
[Tue May 24 15:43:08 2005] Guard Freklin says 'Well, the corporal sort of found me napping once . . . just once. Was a bit odd too. I was patrolling when this strange little gnome stopped to talk to me. He gave me a little box of powder and said if I powdered my nose with the stuff that I'd stay awake for days. I tried it and the next thing I know I'm snoozing while the corporal is yelling in my ear. I was going to use it again in case I did it wrong. Maybe you could [try] it too just to see if I was unlucky? Truth be told, I had a rather peculiar dream . . .''
[Tue May 24 15:43:13 2005] You say, 'i will try it' upon saying "i will try it" i received "Gnomish Awakening Powder" (has graphic of foraged Owlbear Dung....magic item lore item no trade) with 1 charge of "Gnomish Awakening Powder" cast time of 20.... written effect is "spell effect: instructions: Rub a small amount on your nose to stay awake."..when right clicked didnt have a noticable effect on my 65 ranja but it said "the dusty powder sends your mind reeling" im thinkin it might be some cocaine in EQ...that would be kinda odd...also he gives you a task to talk to the captain..will get dialog for that in a few mins

Killed at the undead ruins. Somewhat rare as I killed 2 in a row while camping for my putrid bones as a 15 monk. So warriors for the noobie armor quest in Qeynos don't have to go to WK for the thick grizzly skins.
Irontoe?
# Jul 07 2004 at 2:13 PM Rating: Decent
Last night I was in Qeynos Hills trying in vain to find more decayed skele parts for my Sk's newbie armor... and I saw an Irontoe walking near the zone for SK. Didn't catch the 1st name though, he did con red to a lvl 13 Sk. Anyone ever see him roaming around there and if so... which one?

Went back to Qeynos Hills after some 40 seasons to pick up some molds for a new toon I started. Was in front of Marton Sayer's hut and got jumped by 4 Skeleton Conscript’s. There green to my 46 and seem to be around the level of a standard Skeleton but don't see them listed. They must have a large agro range as then just pounced from out of nowhere. The standard Skeleton’s don’t agro me anymore so I was pretty surprised to see these. Pulled up track and it looked like there is a Skeleton Army at night with some pretty high level MOB’s. Did the old curse of West Karana move into Qeynos Hills??? Never thought I would come back here and get experience at 46!

Tad

P.S.
Brought my new level 6 Druid here after seeing the new action and was at the entrance to BB waiting for the sun to rise and at 5:00 AM game time got a message something like this “As the sun breaks the horizon the Skeleton Army turns to dust.”

'A Mangy Rat' attacked my level 20 Monk near the ruins (conned green). It tried to cast 'PlagueRatDisease'. It dropped a NO DROP 'Scalded Rat Skin'.

Tracked a NPC vendor around Qeynos Hills. Was red to me at lvl 6. Then again almost all NPCs are red to me. The only thing he was selling of note was Gypsy Wine. The rest was rusted weapons, bandages and misc. junk.

Was running through QH the other day on my way to the Jaggedpine and I saw an NPC on track named Gorelin or something like that. Was green to me as a 53 ranger, and despawned before I got to it to find out what is was. QH is my home zone and I'd never even heard of it before... anyone know anything?
Barn Bloodstone
# Oct 31 2003 at 9:37 PM Rating: Decent
I saw him to today but just barely before he was killed by Guard Nash. I was near the qeynos zone in when I spotted him just before he died. When he died he said, "You have no idea what a big mistake you made. Either of my fellow rogues will find you or the Freeport Mil.. Unnnghh" The disapeared.

ran accross a new NPC in Qeynos Hills named Barn Bloodstone. He runs from you when you first hail him, when he finally stopped he says something about (Golden Rooster)(Hihg Pass Gambling house). He seems to be out of place in Qeynos Hills
