I wouldn't say... 'helped', not exactly. The Ura did business with the Caels, when they cared to ask.

[Another sigh.]

Gods help me, but it would be easier if the Caels were simply the enemy. I can't say for certain- I was still young when it all happened. Zahi perhaps could tell you more. Still, I think it was half callousness, half ignorance. As I said before, Ura tunnels can be difficult to know the presence of if you're not used to looking for them. Caelondia couldn't know how much territory we truly had and I don't think they ever asked.
