"I am certain you could! Ul'dah, the Jewel of the Desert. It sits in the Sagolii. It is harsh, of course, but they pride themselves in their ability to turn sand into gold." It sounded like a popular saying--and in the city-state itself, it certainly was.

"It was the first city-state my sister and I arrived in, after we came to Eorzea. She took to thaumaturgy, whereas I hit the bloodsands--that's arena combat. Some of it was gladiatorial combat, but I followed the path of the pugilist. For a while, anyway." Filling out things in broad strokes was one thing, but Sarai knew the value of adding background information, as well.

"The weaver's guild, alchemist's guild, and goldsmith's guild also make their home in that city. Sunsilk Tapestries--the weavers--are known throughout Eorzea and possibly even all of Hydaelyn for their fabrics and clothing. I know for a fact that Dread learned his skill there, at Redolent Rose's knee. Big Rose is the guildmaster for the weavers." Though certainly Sarai could go on about the other two guildmasters, Serenity for the goldsmiths, and Severian for the alchemists--though there was a bit of questioning for the latter's sanity...

"But I probably shouldn't natter on. Though certainly I could regale you later, if you liked." Trust the bard to be able to spin a tale even in a few moments!
