Gainos

Gainos (alternatively spelled "Gynos") (王都 ガイノス) is the capital of the continent, and the largest city in the land. The city has been built up to be highly prosperous, with its own trading center and borders, expanding the the amount of trade and ensuring its protection. Some notable landmarks include the Grand Cathedral, which is suspended from the rest of the city with a giant rock and large bridges to connect it, as well as the Queen's Palace. Large aqueducts additionally run throughout the city, giving the capital (from a bird's-eye view) its distinct, circular shape.

Assassins of The Fang

Founded by Queen Aldra, The Assassins of The Fang (牙の暗殺団) are a death squad who operate under regal orders, utilized to take out and silence anyone who defies her. The Vance family, who opposed the Queen, was a primary target.

The identities of Fang members are kept strictly confidential, and they usually take advantage of camouflage in order to not stand out.

Under the guidance of the first-generation leader Echidna, the purpose of the group was that of "an organization that supports excellent assassins with a high probability of survival," with a focus on surviving missions and evading death. The Queen later dictated that they would resort to even suicide to preserve their identities, which could be why Risty ended up leaving.

Leaders

• Echidna (past, first-generation leader)
• Risty (past, while brainwashed)
• Elina Vance

Appearance

The assassin's outfits differ by rank. They tend to wear either green one-pieces to protect their torsos or separated, two-piece versions of this dress. Irma dons her own version of the Fang outfit.

Abilities

The assassins are adept at weapon-throwing, and are skilled in the realm of stealth, able to ambush some of the most cautious warriors out there. However, they seem to perform better in group combat, proving less effective in one-on-one battles.

Queen's Army

The Queen's Army (女王軍) are apart of the new Queen's rule, and were created during her reign.

Leader

Claudette Vance

Appearance

The soldiers wear red armor, which differs amongst each fighter, but retains a design similar to the Vances' Royal Guard's. One similarity between the two is that the Queen's soldiers' breastplates are also open in the front, exposing the women's cleavage. It is thought to allow for superior movement during weapon swings, and helps to keep the soldiers cool.

Abilities

The Queen's soldiers are a devastating force, and one of the main reasons Claudette's reign has proven so successful. They attack fiercely, employing weapons such as fire arrows and moves such as surgical strikes to render their opponents helpless, easily claiming victory.

Trivia

• Because Queen's Blade is centered around female warriors, the capital's name "Gainos" is derived from the Ancient Greek prefix "gyno," which means "female." It can also be used to refer to the female reproductive system, possibly referencing said warriors' figures and outfits.
