{{Quotation|[[Tahnnakai Temple (explorable area)|Tahnnakai Temple]] plaque|When the [[Gods of Tyria|gods]] walked [[Tyria (world)|Tyria]] a thousand years ago, the [[Ritualist]] Kaolai, an old man even then, challenged [[Balthazar]] to a game of [[Nui]] in exchange for sparing a village that had offended the god through some long-forgotten breach of etiquette. Balthazar laughingly accepted and the game began. Seven days later it ended with Kaolai the winner; the villagers were spared. But in a fit of anger, Balthazar slew Kaolai. Afterward, in a rare gesture of sportsmanship, the god ordered Kaolai inducted into Tahnnakai Temple.}}

[[Kaolai]] is one of several [[Canthan Heroes]] whose spirit dwells in the [[Tahnnakai Temple]], giving advice to those who seek it.

{{spoiler|the ''[[Guild Wars Factions]]'' campaign}}
When [[Shiro Tagachi]] attacked the temple with his army of [[Afflicted]], Kaolai is one of the spirits bound within one of Shiro's [[Bound Kaolai|constructs]]. Freed by [[Master Togo]], [[Mhenlo]] and the player characters, Kaolai remains within the Tahnnakai Temple offering advice until being replaced by Master Togo.
