Everyone is around Freeport if you want to group.
You can stay around qeynos till about 12 or so and it won't be too bad. I just went to Freeport because there weren't any groups around qeynos area for the most part. (My shaman is 14 now).
Most people know what things are like now, so I'd suggest you get to Freeport by asking someone to port you. Hopefully they will understand and not try to gouge you. Or you aren't too high a level yet, you could remake as an Innoruuk sk in Freeport.
On live when I started in qeynos I would do blackburrow, then bandits in Karanas. They have a lot of casters though and some roamers so without a group it is very risky.
If you are determined to stay around qeynos for a while, and you can't stand any more gnoll yipping, w. karana is about the only thing you can do for a while I think. You could do those scarecrows to the south, but if you are in w. karana at night they have the werewolves. And running through there I saw a giant type mob, may have been broon or choon, but I just ran without conning it.
Unless you have sow I have had bad luck in the past with W. Karana and N. Karana even though they have appropriate level mobs.
Could go to Kerra ridge maybe, but I never went there on live.
If warrens were open you could go there, great spot till in the 20's but it will be a bit. And I don't think a bertoxx worshipper will be kos by heretics (or running through erudin), but it will be a long time till they give you a key.
Even if you have a magic weapon, I stayed away from the wisps on wisp island, because they seemed to mob you a lot. Only went there when I needed plat and high enough in level they were no challenge.
Anyway, good luck. Probably freeport is best option, there are groups for dervs and orcs, and oasis has a good population. Or you could run to unrest a bit later, back in the day I would go south to get around the guards that man the gate a ways in from the docks on faydwer.
