Divine Path

Description
The Divine Path is an explorable area in the Factions Campaign. It is a skyway that runs across the Imperial Palace.

Getting There
It can only be accessed by completing the Imperial Sanctum mission.

Exits

 * West: Kaineng Center, topmost area. Only accessible through this portal.

Zones
The Divine Path consists of several zones.

Starting Zone
This is the area where the party starts out in.

Features
 * Kuunavang
 * Suun (get an Amulet of the Mists from him)
 * Adepts of the Elements, Steel, Shadows, Nature, Illusion, Spirits, Bone, and Light: they will give you a unique item in exchange for an Amulet of the Mists.
 * One Phoenix that you can charm.

Crafting Zone
The next area contains several armor and weapon crafters.


 * Shichiroji (+5 Energy Weapons)
 * Koumei (Ascended Canthan Armor)
 * Maiya (Ascended Imperial Armor – A/Rt only)
 * Wei Qi (Ascended Exotic Armor – A/Rt only)

On the way to the crafters, you will meet Mhenlo, Devona, Eve, Cynn and Aidan. A little beyond the crafters are a number of Canthan Nobles, Peasants, and Children who will sing your praises.

The Shing Jea Contingent


You will then enter a long corridor where you will meet several key characters who accompanied Master Togo from Shing Jea Island.

The Tengu
This corridor ends with the leaders of the Angchu Tengu from the Aerie and the Roost. You will also meet your old friend, Talon Silverwing.

Down the stairs will be a honor guard of Tengu Cutters, who will bow to you as you pass.

The Kurzicks
After the Tengu, you will meet the Kurzicks, led by Count zu Heltzer. You will encounter again several characters from the Echovald Forest, including:


 * Danika, Brutus and Sheena
 * Lukas and Erys Vasburg together with Baron Vasburg
 * Several Kurzick Nobles, Peasants and Children.

The Luxons
Immediately after are the Luxons who have come all the way from the Jade Sea to pay their respects. The group is led by Elder Rhea, and includes:


 * Argo and Hala of the Turtle.
 * Aurora and Gita of the Serpent.
 * Daeman and Eli of the Crab.
 * Several Luxon Nobles, Peasants and Children.

The Bureaucracy
As you near the end of the Divine Path, you will meet the chief ministers of the Celestial Ministry. Bloated with corruption, the weight of your deeds is entirely lost on them as they struggle to determine which forms they have to fill up to satisfy what obscure bureaucratic procedure.

The surrounding Canthan Peasants will tell you to ignore the ministers, for they were completely ineffective at dealing with the Plague.

You will also meet the Canthan natives, Emi, Chiyo, Jamei. Nika and the Obsidian Flame guild also pay their respects.

There is a Phoenix here for you to tame.

The Emperor
At the end of the Divine Path, you will find Emperor Kisu surrounded by his Canthan Guard Captains.


 * Emperor Kisu will give a long speech praising your deeds.
 * The fireworks will start.
 * After a while, Kisu and his Guards will start dancing.
 * To the east, a little past Kisu, is an exit to the upper balcony of the Kaineng Center.
 * There is another Phoenix here for you to tame.
 * There is a rumor saying that if you stay for all the credits then your drop rate will be better in explorable areas. This information has no facts to back it up so it should not be taken too seriously.
