Editing Horizon Zero Dawn (section)

===Quen===
An imperialist empire who know more about the Old Ones than anyone except probably Aloy. They live on a continent separate from that of Aloy and co., but high-tech compasses and fierce devotion to their ancestor cult enabled them to send a fleet of ships to the latter. Apparently not all Quen are evil, but it's hard to say because the Quen characters Aloy interact with most have spent their whole lives being oppressed/censored/plagiarized by the tribe's elites, who control all knowledge of the past (their "Legacy", as they put it) by restricting access to their cache of prototype Focuses. They revere the Old Ones, especially Ted Faro, since all the knowledge they have of him is from before he fucked the world by inventing the Swarm. As part of this, they've adopted the trappings of old-world corporations, with a Board of Overseers, compliance officers, risk specialists, and one especially dickish character who goes by Ceo (as in CEO). 

The ''Burning Shores'' DLC is set in the ruins of Los Angeles after the Quen have arrived and set up shop.
