“ | The [Forest] Ruins are home to some unfortunate folk who have not yet earned their eternal sleep. | ” |
Under mysterious circumstances, the complex of the first mage society of Qeynos, The Order of Three, was destroyed. All that is left is a large dusty ruin filled with pirates by day and skeletons by night. The current Qeynosian mage society, The Concordium, in conjunction with The Qeynos Guard, look after the stability of the zone.

During the night, the Ruins' former inhabitants come out and drive away the pirates:
