Origins

Kais Uthdur originated as a small offshoot of Kais Kogong founded by Dankonia, a relatively inactive player as of olden times who reactivated his account. Breaking off to preserve the legends of the forest which were contained within, Dankonia originally claimed an area of six chunks, lacking sufficient funds to do more preservation.

Uthdur Tunnel Company

In an attempt to earn enough funds to keep the singular-manned settlement aloft, Dankonia turned to entrepreneurship. Although many forms of travel existed at the point in time when Uthdur Tunnel Company (UTC) came into existence, Dankonia thought the prospects of a direct travel system where players go fee-less, uninterrupted, and inattentive through the world, similar to real travel, was profitable, if not necessary for the world, as it catered to the poor.

Using a combination of world mechanics and experiments, Dankonia determined that the fastest form of travel through Alathra in the over world was bubble elevators, sideways. These later became known officially as the Sand Tunnels, although informally they were known as The Chunnel.

Equipment

The tunnels themselves were slow, the effects of water and the soul sand that lined the bottom combining for a miserable slog. Instead, certain pieces of equipment were needed in order to make the travel profitable, coming in the form of specially enchanted boots and potions.

Venturer's Boots

Venturer's Boots were originally marketed in multiple tiers to appeal to buyers who wished to purchase the required equipment for the Sand Tunnels but didn't plan to primarily use them.

High quality Venturer's boots consisted of both depth strider (3) and soul speed (2-3), as well as unbreaking (3) and mending. Higher quality boots also tended to be made with higher durability materials, while lesser boots, such as the Mid and Low quality Venturer's Boots, tended to be made of lower durability materials and lower level books.

Low quality Venturer's Boots consisted of base level enchantments of depth strider, soul speed, and unbreaking. Mid quality Venturer's Boots consisted of anything in-between, but tended to be consistent in speed and enchantments based on the regional shop.

Swiftness II

Swiftness Two potions significantly increased the speeds of the tunnels, shortening the trip by half in whatever direction the user was heading. Combined with the effects of Dolphin's Spirit, the speed of travel is exponentially increased.
