Learning that little tidbit of information would prove to be very useful for Ondore in the near future but for now, it shall linger as a mere note. He haven't gotten the chance to learn much about Gaia's history so far but perhaps someday he will divulge within the archives of an esteemed library to learn all he could about this foreign world. As of now, he will simply have to make due with not being as knowledge as he may wish about Gaia's history.
"Tis a good quality to show such curiosity but I am afraid that my answer may be far too lengthy to keep your attention for long." Halim replied with a faint smile. "To speak of Bhujerba means to mention the larger continent of Dorstonis and to speak of Dorstonis means for me to speak of the floating islands of Purvama." He made sure that the pronunciation of these foreign names came slowly as he spoke for Halim was worried that he would confuse Dagger if he spoke too quickly.
“Purvama, also known as 'The Floating Islands' is as you guess a cluster of floating landmasses that sail the skies of Ivalice. Some are found directly above the Naldoan Sea while others tend to meander about freely because of the precious sky stones that govern their movement. Bhujerba is located upon the magicite enriched soil of Dorstonis. It is the magicite, these magical stones that grant Dorstonis’s flight. In Bhujerba, we mine for magicite for various reasons but we careful to not abuse the land’s wealth for if we did, Bhujerba would fall to the oceans below.”
Halim chuckled lightly at that morbid thought. “Or so the moogles claim. They are the wisest amongst my people because they are the original inhabitants of Dorstonis.”
