At best dynastic and at worst nepotistic, the ancient lineage of the royal family of the City of Qeynos is intertwined with the history of Norrath. Qeynos has been ruled by the Bayle family line for over 1,000 years. The direct lineage of the progenitor can be traced to Bayle Shiverfist, a post-Barbarian Human of Halasian descent. It is known that Bayle dropped the use of his clan name - Shiverfist - as was the tradition of Humans at the time, and consequently we know him as "Bayle" or as "Bayle the Ethernaut." His line is shown in the genealogical image below in blue, tracing the firstborn son lineage to where it is lost, at the unknown fate of Kyle Bayle, the rightful firstborn son and heir to the throne of Antonius Bayle III.
