[In contrast, Zulf seems to be making an effort to avoid any intoxicating beverages today. He simply takes a cup of what appears to be a kind of pale green juice. There's a kabob of some sort as well, and cornbread. At the request, he laughs quietly.]

If I tell you everything, we'd be here for the entire festival. However, the main thing you need to know about the Ura, my people, is that we don't prefer living on the surface. We actually used to lived underground before all of this. The Tazal Terminals was the main center of trade, religion, housing, and all of that. However, a variety of tunnels were connected to it that lead to other settlements.

You see, a lot of areas you'll find out there on the Skyway once belonged to the Wilds. That was nothing but untamed land full of extremely territorial and aggressive creatures. Beasts such as Lunkheads and Pecker birds, for example. By staying underground, we could avoid such dangerous land like that and still thrive. I don't believe Caelondia truly ever realized how far the Terminals had a reach before the war.

There's also the fact that the earth is considered holy. You see, to create this world and all in it, Micia used her own heart. By thriving underground, in a way we honor the Mother for her sacrifice.
