Kaineng City

Kaineng (or Kaineng City) is the capital of the Canthan Empire. The majority of Canthan bureaucracy is located there.

The metropolis stretches over a large area on the northwestern coast of Cantha. It is a region and as such it consists of several towns and explorable areas.

Before the Jade Wind, the place now called Kaineng Center actually comprised most of Kaineng City, but the ensuing population explosion as citizens fled the affected regions led to lots of city growth and sprawl.

Canthan characters can reach Kaineng Center easilly once they arrive on the mainland from Shing Jea Island. By following the coastline north, there are only two potential monster encounters along the way; the first being the Jade Brotherhood, who are only hostile if you trigger the quest by talking to the little girl near them. The second being a small group of afflicted that can be avoided if the player is patient, or eliminated quickly as it's a small group of afflicted.

Kaineng Center contains several NPCs and quests, as well as having available some styles of max 1.5k armor. There is no 15k armor here, however, and the Luxon and Kurzick 1.5k and 15k armor come later in the storyline.
