The story is simple; in a PostApocalyptic Main/{{Dystopia}} where the world as we know it has been [[CataclysmBackstory left barren]] in a [[GreatOffscreenWar terrible war]] with Dragons, the last survivors stay within the titular walled city. The city is ruled over by King Rothlyn, who is an unwitting pawn for the guardians, who are actually keeping the people trapped inside the city, destroying the outside world to expand the city limits, and abducting citizens who discover the truth that the air outside is actually breathable.

The series protagonist, the king's daughter the princess Rivatha, goes outside on the day before her coronation as Queen and is whipped up by a mysterious storm, whereupon she wakes up in the tree-dweller's land of Escent Village. Here she discovers the truth about Qeios and vows to find out everything and set free the people from their oppressors. Along the way she makes allies, including the irritating Woodrow; talking dog Comet; creepy stalker and Miraak cosplayer Jasper; the mysterious Mrs Whitely; and telekinetic twins suspicious Audrey and silent André from the desolated Aviria.

The series was [[CutShort cancelled after three episodes]] and fans have rallied for a fourth episode since. A spinoff series, titled ''Qeios: Republik'' was in development in 2015, focusing on a few undeveloped and new characters from the series (some of which have a striking resemblance to characters from the TV series ''Series/{{Lexx}}''), however it was cancelled as [[CreatorBacklash the creator would not agree to the series being made.]] In late 2015, Bethany Frye made a comment on the LetsPlay/VenturianTale channel which suggested she considered the series an OldShame.

The series contains many similarities to the Technopolis StoryArc in the WesternAnimation series WesternAnimation/{{Super 4}} and the VideoGame VideoGame/{{Beneath A Steel Sky}}.

!!The series contains examples of:

%%* ContentWarnings: Played for laughs.
* CutShort: There were no further episodes made after the third and final episode, ending the series on a BolivianArmyCliffhanger [[GainaxEnding that makes NO SENSE.]]
* DaddysGirl: Rivatha is definitely this.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Audrey and André's father Joel was killed in combat with Qeios Guards. This does not help Audrey's dislike of Rivatha.
%%* DoAndroidsDream

%%* DystopianEdict
%%* ExtremelyShortTimespan
%%* GreatOffscreenWar

%%* HitchhikerHeroes: Audrey and André qualify for this.
%%* LaResistance
%%* LadyOfWar: Rivatha.
* LeftHanging: The final episode ends with [[BolivianArmyCliffhanger the group surrounded by guards]] when [[DynamicEntry Jasper bursts in, kills two guards, and demands to know why they are trying to kill their queen.]] [[GainaxEnding The final shot is of somebody (apparently a guard, though it was possibly intended to be Jasper) flying out of the window.]]
* MysteriousPast: Mrs. Whitely has apparently visited Qeios when Rivatha was very young and apparently knows more about her than she should...
%%* ObviouslyEvil: The Guardians.
%%* OddlyOvertrainedSecurity
%%* OrphanedSeries
%%* RoyalBlood
* PlotHole: It is never explained why the Guardians are keeping the citizens inside the city and destroying the outside world.
%%* PoliceState
* PuppetKing: Whether he realises it or not, King Rothlyn is little more than a figurehead.
%%* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
%%* SecretPolice
* [[{{HeKnowsTooMuch}} She Knows Too Much]]: When Rothlyn asks a news reporter to print a news report revoking rumours of Rivatha's death, [[UnPerson she is quickly swiped by the secret police and is not heard from again.]]
%%* SinisterSurveillance: Heavily implied, if not actually shown.
%%* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism
