A view from inside

As the ancient Canthan name implies, Shing Jea is the jewel of Cantha. Headed by the legendary Ritualist, Master Togo, the monastery provides training to students of all heroic professions, including the Ritualist and Assassin professions native to Cantha. Graduates of the Shing Jea Monastery are recognized worldwide as masters of their chosen arts.

[edit] Notes

• In Cantha, Shing Jea Monastery (and by extension, Shing Jea Boardwalk) is where special events are held (such as Dragon Festival 2006 and Canthan New Year).
• Complete exploration of this town contributes approximately 0.4% to the Canthan Cartographer title.
