Depiction of Khadein from Shadow Dragon.
Khadein (Japanese:カダイン Khadein) is a desert city in the north-western part of the continent of Archanea, bordering Altea to the south, Gra to the south-east and Aurelis to the east. This country is renowned for its skilled mages, notably Gotoh the White Sage and his two best pupils Gharnef and Miloah.
Khadein was founded by Gotoh the White Sage, originally a member of the Divine Dragon clan. Eventually, he took some students as his personal pupils; Gharnef and Miloah who were among the best under his teachings. Despite his considerable talents, Gotoh grew wary of Gharnef's wrathful and compassion-less nature, and instead chose to appoint Miloah as his heir. Gharnef was outraged and overcome by jealousy on hearing this decision, and as an act of vengeance he stole the Darksphere from Gotoh's safe-keeping and fled Khadein.
Soon after the War of Shadows began, Gharnef engaged Miloah in a battle and murdered him, seizing control of Khadein. Gharnef's leadership dragged Khadein into the thick of the war, putting its magical prowess to brutal use, while Gharnef himself effortlessly suppressed countless attempts to stage coups against him.
In Chapter 15, Marth and the Archanean League approached Khadein and fought against the mages under Gharnef's rule and Dragoons forces in the desert nearby the city.
By the time the war ended, Gharnef's rule had caused immense damage to the city and wiped out all of its other ruling pontifices. Wendell became its Archmage and started rebuilding the city.
