This longsword has a mysterious past. Some claim it to be planar in origin. Regardless, the Qeynos Claymore is a very powerful weapon. The length of its magical blade is engraved with Void Glyphs - a form of written language dating back to the dawn of time. The sword was brought into the world of Norrath by Vallius Bayle and presented as a trophy to the ruling human clans of the Plains of Karana long before the founding of the city of Qeynos.

It was ages ago that the first man to be named Antonius Bayle earned a legendary sword called the Qeynos Claymore through a series of difficult challenges in tournaments held by the Paladins of Karana. With the legendary sword in hand, Antonius Bayle became a great hero and eventual unifier of the local human clans. He assisted in the founding and naming of the city of Qeynos in honor of that great sword, whose name is loosely translated from early human tongue to mean "Human Destiny." The city of Qeynos has proven the words engraved on the Qeynos Claymore to be true, as the human race has grown in size and expanded its influence upon the world of Norrath since the city's founding. Qeynos has become one of the greatest kingdoms on Norrath, earning the respect of many other empires and races.
