The Jade Wind is a terrible wind that swept over the lands of Cantha 200 years prior to the present day in the game. The Jade Wind emanated from the ferocious cry of Shiro Tagachi as he was slain on the floor of Kaoya Zun Temple. The wind swept violently through the land of Cantha, causing large waves in the sea, though this was only momentary. The people of Cantha slowly recovered from this terrible wind as the Kurzicks adapted to carving their homes in the Echovald Forest, while the Luxons adapted to sailing and mining the Jade Sea.
