“Yeah New Kaineng City is one of my favorite maps, how did you guess?” Several works I’ve made since the release of EoD, the oldest one being at the bottom and the newest ones at the top. Also kinda funky to see how my works have changed during this time. And also how there’s like a narrative going on. c: Enya started out all alone after the person in the bottom pic abandoned her, she would then roam the city on her own for months till she eventually met Ace, a Krytan rogue wandering the streets as well...  Artworks sponsored by ArenaNet

New Kaineng is Cantha’s heart, a modern metropolis that captivates people from all walks of life. Take in the view on the top levels, marvel at the possibilities of jade tech—and stay out of trouble.

Cantha - New Kaineng City - Ministry Ward Eum Ji: Some up-and-coming tech mogul bought the old Hanja complex. All of their tenants were forced out... Mangjeol Dae: Really? Man, rent's already on the rise... I'd hate to see it get any worse.

Happy Birthday GW2 !
Cantha released for the 10th year ? Ça s'fête ! , as we say here.
For the story, in GW, Faction was the first one I fully finished so Cantha will for ever have a special place in my heart, and now even more with its adorable inhabitants and gorgeous landscapes.
My holosmith deeply loves the nights in New Kaineng with all the neons.

Keep moving enough, and no place will feel like home anymore.

“Is that... Is that a microwave?” Cyrus couldn’t believe his eyes. Ever since the day he’d been ‘moved’ from his world to this one, he’d longed for the comforts of modern technology. He never found it in Kryta or Ascalon; the Charr loved their coal, oil, and steam tech, so they’d made some interesting forays into ICE technology... The Sylvari just grew everything, and the average norn was content to live in a patchwork yurt made of tanned skins. The asura had technology...after a fashion. Most of it was circuit-laden stone and wood, with metal embellishments. It still functioned like technology but.... it didn’t feel the same. Even hybridized Pact tech didn’t feel the same. But here in Cantha... In Cantha, all the trappings of home had reappeared before his tired eyes. While the others had been awestruck by things they’d viewed as impossibilities, he’d been looking for the little stuff. In place of television, they had holographic projectors, in all sizes. He’d stifled a laugh when he’d passed a kid on the street who’d had a pocket-sized projector and was watching some show. It had been some cartoon-y thing, and some part of him had perked up at the idea that maybe Cantha had a parallel version of the anime he’d loved to watch back home. He’d seen someone make a personal call to another using a similar device. Earpiece communicators were almost standard in New Kaineng, and when they weren’t, there were Jade Bots, and personal comm projectors. The moment he saw the prosethetics, the jade-powered artificial limbs some people had, he thought of all those back in Kryta who had peglegs, and of a Charr he’d met once who had a partially mechanized brace encasing his arm and hand. Of how things could now be different for them. And then he’d wandered past someone’s kitchen booth, in Bori Ward, and had seen them use two things he’d never seen -- in Tyria -- before. The cook had taken something out of a refrigerator -- for there was no mistaking that coffin-like, upright box... at least for Cyrus -- and popped it into the microwave sitting on the counter. “What’s a microwave?” Tenna asked, before spying the device. “Oh wow... what IS that?” She squinted, trying to see past the mesh on the glass of the door. “Is it doing something to the food?” Cyrus nodded. “Yeah. If it works how I think it does, it generates microwaves from an emitter inside, and when the microwaves hit the food, they warm it up by agitating the molecules. The mesh on the glass keeps the microwaves from escaping and doing the same to anyone in their path, while the inner shell of it keeps the waves bouncing until they hit the food. I don’t think it’s magic-based, except the fact they’re powering it with this Jade power but...” “That’s a neat device, but we have things like that back on the ship, don’t we?” “Yeah...we got food reheaters and things that function the same but look entirely different. Ours use modified fire-magic projectors and hard light heaters and things...” He waved a hand at the two devices, and then at the electric stove beside them. “These... I can’t explain it without sounding insane. These are so normal, it’s jarring.” Tenna looked at him oddly. They’d had plenty of conversations, most of which had sounded nuts to her, but always had that undefinable and unsettling element of truth to them. This was the first time she’d seen this particular look on his face. “What do you mean ‘normal’? This is freak Jadetech stuff.” Cyrus shook his head, and sighed. “No, I mean specifically from my perspective. You have to understand. Back in the world I was from?” He pointed at the microwave, and then the fridge. “I had both of these in my home. These look almost identical to the design, shape and size of those.” “It’s so damned strange. This is world of magic, monsters, liches, dragons, Elder dragons, Gods, ancient ruins and all kinds of weirdness. To you, it’s all normal because it’s the world you grew up in.” He waved hand again. “Those? That’s MY world there. A world I haven’t seen in nearly twenty years. And seeing it, here, now... knowing that Cantha is so advanced that it’s bordering on what my world was like technologically when I left...” He just kinda trailed off, lost in thoughts and memories. Eventually he roused himself and walked away from the booth, rubbing the back of his neck. “...They’re so close too. The dials... I guess you could still get some with dials, but I thought those went away in the 80s... I wonder if they’ve ever thought about satellites?...” Tenna just stared after him, fully confused. She looked at the amazing Jadetech devices again, trying to see them through his eyes. She wondered how she would respond if, thrown into another world with entirely new rules and technological philosophies, if she’d suddenly stumbled upon someone using something that looked distinctly Asura. How much it would stand out to her, and yeah, how jarring it would be. “....I wonder how much these things cost?...” She asked herself as she ran to catch up to Cyrus. It’d be interesting to ask him what other things were ‘familiar’ to him.

honestly kaineng city, both old and new, are so fascinating to me. the old city had literal layers upon layers of buildings, and beyond the area surrounding the palace, it was all... honestly really shitty. just a rough place to live from what i recall of the quests in the city in factions
and you might think new kaineng is better! but it still has so many issues.
i know that theoretically the in-game maps are not Exactly To Scale accurate to what places are like in-universe, but like. grub lane is literally right next to where there's risen literally crawling out of the woodworks. and sure the eyes of the ocean apparently protect the area from the risen but like
imagine living right next to where there's risen. just. all the time.
kaineng city, both old and new, fucking suck to live in unless you're high up the food chain lmao
