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

* {{a}} 24 (30) [[Kenshi Steelhand]] → [[Palm Strike]] ([[Kenshi's Butterfly Daggers]]) (spawns twice during [[Eliminate the Jade Brotherhood]], even if Chasing Zenmai is active)

== Notes ==
*These [[quest]]s will affect the [[spawn]]s in this area:
** [[Chasing Zenmai]]
** [[Closer to the Stars]]
** [[The Drunken Master]]
** [[Eliminate the Am Fah]]
** [[Eliminate the Jade Brotherhood]]
** [[Finding The Oracle]]
** [[Missing Daughter]]
** [[The Afflicted Guard]]
** [[Welcome to Cantha]]
*{{Vanquisher|count = 135|low = 63|high = 228}}
** If [[Chasing Zenmai]] is active, there are several ways you can get credit for vanquishing by killing fewer than 10 foes (depending on your starting outpost), since that quest allows you to enter a section initially devoid of any foes. [[Party]] members must not have [[Eliminate the Am Fah]] or [[Eliminate the Jade Brotherhood]] active.
*** With [[The Afflicted Guard]] active, only one kill is needed (start from [[Kaineng Center]]).
*** With [[The Drunken Master]] active and with ''The Afflicted Guard'' inactive; to get credit for the vanquish, you only need to defeat [[Drinkmaster Tahnu]] (if you start from Kaineng Center).
*** With neither of those active, take the [[Missing Daughter]], which spawns around 10 foes.
*** Without those three quests active, you can still reduce the kill count to less than 60: approach [[Bryan]] from the west, but send only heroes and henchmen to him; do not let any players get within compass range. Defeat the three Jade Brotherhood groups that this triggers and clean-up the remaining mobs on the eastern side of the area (do not venture further west, as this will trigger additional foes, potentially raising the required number to the default).
*** Any party members that have completed [[Cleansing Bukdek Byway]] must also take [[Memories of Purity]].
** [[Initiate Zei Ri]] will help you vanquish if you have the quest [[Cleansing Bukdek Byway]] (or [[Cleansing Bukdek Byway (Hard mode)|its hard mode equivalent]]) active, but only until the last [[Afflicted]] is killed.

== 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 [[w:pug|pug]], in a trough up the left staircase after exiting [[Kaineng Center]].
* [[The Naked Man]] could be found here during early beta.
