[So much lore! It takes Shen Yuan a moment to process it all, before he can write back]
My friend, if I didn't know any better I'd think you were teasing me, by throwing so many cultural names at me without any additional context! I don't recognize any of those peoples at all -- and besides, I thought you were Higashese? Or is that only the word for the country, and Sarkaz is the name of the people? Or have I misunderstood completely?
You're right about society, however. Our cities consisted of buildings like the way ones here, with permanent foundations and accomodations for many families to share the same plot of land. This is the norm for most human cultures in my world; although a few maintain a nomadic lifestyle out of tradition and cultural identity, they are a very small minority and, I'm sad to say, discriminated against by some governments.
We didn't have magic in my native world, although just for the record I am normally capable of doing magic, as I had the mixed fortune of living in a different world for a number of years before landing in this one, and learned a few tricks while I was there. I just mention this to save confusion later, if Liu Feiyu and I ever figure out how to undo the seal our captors put on my cultivation.
Now, this Originium. What is it? What connection does it have to the Cataclysms? And what are their origin, anyway? The more you speak, the more curious I am!
