In AE , Wona , the emperor's minister of war who had fought against the tengu for many years, contacted the tengu chieftains Swift Honorclaw and Gull Hookbeak of the Angchu and the Sensali clans and requested their presence for a summit to negotiate peace between humans and tengu.
Emperor Kisu asked his half-brother, Master Togo , to accompany a delegation to the war minister's estate as an observer of the proceedings and to legitimize the talks. However, the summit was a trap by Wona who intended to kill Togo and pin the blame on the tengu, creating the pretext for a genocide. Togo was able to rally the remaining human delegates behind him to stop Wona's plans while promising the tengu to bring back the war minister's head as proof that the emperor was not behind the plot.
The tengu leaders sent Talon Silverwing with Togo to find the minister and kill Togo if he proved to be deceitful. Togo turned out to be a man of his word, however, and killed Wona after fighting through the minister's defenders. While the Sensali left the summit in distrust and retreated to their raiding ways, the more civilized Angchu seized the opportunity for a real truce.
Togo brought the tengu's complaints to Emperor Kisu and hammered home a peace treaty after years of hostility, becoming a respected figure among the Angchu. One year after the Tengu Wars had officially ended, the humans and the tengu began holding an annual festival at Shing Jea Monastery to celebrate the anniversary of the peace accords. This festival became known as the Day of the Tengu and was attended by Emperor Kisu himself who held a speech to the festive crowd.
Two hundred years after the Jade Wind, events occurred that revealed Shiro Tagachi's evil was not fully destroyed. The journey began with the appearance of a horrible plague, which turned the victims of the disease into violent creatures, called the Afflicted.
After researching the disease, the group found evidence of Shiro Tagachi, a man long dead. However, beings from the afterlife, called envoys , told them that Shiro was turned into a sprit. The envoys' task, as penance for crimes committed in life, was to guide the souls of the dead. Instead, Shiro was corrupting the spirits, merging them with magical constructs called the Shiro'ken and building an army. The group attempted to destroy Shiro, but were unsuccessful.
They needed allies. Emperor Kisu was easy to convince, the Oracle of the Mists , Suun , also contributed valuable knowledge. After several negotiations, they convinced the Canthan vassal states of Luxon and Kurzick to join them. The dragon Kuunavang taught them valuable skills and agreed to fight alongside them. Finally, the group ascertained Shiro's final goal. He was trying to return to life, and he only needed one more thing: to spill the blood of a member of the imperial bloodline.
Togo, Mhenlo, and the heroes wasted no time in returning to the palace, but they only arrived at the last second. Battling their way through the Shiro'ken, the group reached the Imperial Sanctum to find Shiro standing over Emperor Kisu, about to give the final strike.
Master Togo, in a desperate act, rushed to his half-brother, taking the blow. The emperor was saved, but Togo sacrificed himself—and Shiro, with his quest now complete, had achieved his goal. The betrayer left to complete his spell, leaving the survivors behind to mourn a great man. In attempt to avenge his teacher, Mhenlo rushed into the Imperial Sanctum to confront Shiro, and the group followed him.
They found Shiro Tagachi fully restored, a deadly and formidable assassin—but once again, a mortal one. A terrible battle ensued, but the party was able to bring down Shiro. As Shiro lay dying, the Oracle Suun appeared, using his power to encase Shiro's body in solid jade. The envoys also arrived, seeking Shiro's soul.
The last remnants of Shiro Tagachi were consigned to a special place in the Underworld , where his spirit was imprisoned and forced to answer for his many crimes. Though the Betrayer was stopped, the plague persisted in Cantha. Countless lives were lost, from the families of people forced to live in the streets to prominent families like the Yuudachi , head of the Sai Ling Order.
Ashu Yuudachi survived the slaughter under miraculous conditions, and came into the care of his aunt, Reiko Murakami. In AE , Reiko, then a member of the Ministry of Flame , made her first strides toward rallying the people of Cantha to fight back against the Afflicted.
With Ashu at her side as a symbol of hope, her message resonated with the people. Little by little, Canthans began to take their fate into their own hands. Reiko began to rise in the ranks of the Ministry of Flame, as she and Ashu became renowned public figures.
They spoke more often with the people of Cantha, offering the promise of change and the hope for a better future, free of the Affliction. Over the next couple of years, Reiko would become increasingly dissatisfied with the restrictions of the Ministry of Flame. Finding flaws in the system—the needless bureaucracy, political maneuverings, and personal agendas—she came to the conclusion that something greater needed to happen if Cantha was ever going to be able to move forward.
The Ministry of Purity made dealing with that which harmed Cantha its goal: to take action when all other branches of the government were content to turn a blind eye, pass the issues off as the emperor's problem, or fault the other Ministries. Two years later, the Ministry of Purity began in earnest its campaign to finally rid Cantha of the Afflicted. Brave men and women rallied to their cause, eager to make their homes safe once more. In the course of the campaign, which lasted under a year, the Afflicted were vanquished alongside the Jade Brotherhood and Am Fah gangs, and the tengu were branded as traitors and routed.
The Ministry then set its sights on sweeping social reform. In AE , Reiko was assassinated by Miku Yuudachi and the Hero of Tyria, who believed that the Ministry of Purity, in its zealotry to fight evil, had become a threat to themselves and to others.
Miku believed that she was rescuing Ashu from Reiko's grip; however, Ashu refused his sister's protection after Reiko's death and took control of the Ministry of Purity, pledging to show the people of Cantha the correct path to walk and to make Cantha whole again while claiming to not repeat Reiko's mistakes.
By AE , the people of Tyria were on their own. The new Canthan emperor, Usoku , finally unified his continent into the Empire of the Dragon. His armies conquered the vassal states of Kurzick and Luxon, making his power absolute. These efforts were supported by the Ministry of Purity, [1] [15] which had originally been established by Reiko Murakami to combat the Afflicted. Usoku began to purge the lands of rebels, the sick, and any non-humans, [16] including the tengu who were forced to flee north to Elona and Tyria before many tengu tribes from Cantha, Elona and Tyria eventually built a new sanctuary called the Dominion of Winds for their persecuted clans.
The Rising of Orr , caused by the awakening of the Elder Dragon Zhaitan in AE , completed Cantha's isolationism as the southern seas became dangerous to travel for sailors due to the increasing menace of Zhaitan's Risen minions patrolling the waters on black ships around Orr. In the century that followed, occasional sporadic Canthan sailors would wash ashore along the Maguuma Jungle , being the only proof Tyrians had that Cantha still existed.
Kaineng Center is a town on the northwestern coast of Cantha. It is the economic center of the Kaineng City region. From its piers , ships set sail to the ports of other lands i. The enemy-free run from The Marketplace to Kaineng Center. This is a very easy run if the optimal route is taken see map on the right. Curiously, the primary quest chain will not create an explicit need to visit Kaineng Center until much later in the campaign, so you will need to take your own initiative to get here in a timely fashion.
For characters of other campaigns, they will land at Bejunkan Pier , so will need to travel southeast to enter. GuildWiki Explore.
