-An underlay is the open area beneath a building. In dense urban environments, these areas become unbroken expanses used for vehicular transport.
+An underlay is the open area beneath a building. Most structures are built on stilts or pylons to ensure that the lowest floor is off the ground. [[Yinrih]] are arboreal animals and feel more at ease this way.
+In suburban and rural areas, underlays are used for storage. In dense urban environments underlays loose their original purpose of providing a sense of height since all the surrounding buildings are also raised. These areas become unbroken expanses used for vehicular transport. In this case one speaks of "the underlay" as a single connected unit.
