Yulai and the systems around it are a melting pot for the different cultures in the cluster.
That's how I found out about a horrible practice, in the State and more particularly in Saisio.
They take a young sapling tree, and torture it. While it is growing, they knack it branches and curb its shoots so the tree never grows. It remains small, constrained and broken by its torturer. It is seen as an art to create these miniature trees, but in reality it is a slow torment to create a hobbled and abused plant.
I bought one, and I am going to let it grow how it wants, if it can in any way recover from its harsh treatment.
