Bukdek Byway

Bukdek Byway is a densely populated area of Kaineng City, with several levels of housing and confusing passages to navigate. The southeastern corner is controlled by the Am Fah of the Undercity while the Jade Brotherhood holds sway towards the northeast. The Afflicted have some presence in the center of the area.

Getting there
Factions characters will travel north from the Marketplace through here on their way to Kaineng Center for the first time. Non-Factions characters will be required to leave Kaineng Center and travel through this area as part of the primary quest Welcome to Cantha. Many secondary quests take place here.

Trivia

 * There are at least two ambient animals in the area:
 * A napping cat, curled up near the shrine of Balthazar (southeast exit to the Undercity) that will occasionally flick its tail or stretch itself; it was modeled after Linsey Murdock's pet.
 * A dog, resembling a pug, in a trough up the left staircase after exiting Kaineng Center.
