That was very enlightening thank you Oskar!
As your Yssen's statement about Duskwight's having a reaver culture I agree. For Kari's clan supplies were limited and they was at war with their splintered clan small raids were conducted to try and get food and other supplies. It would normally involve two teams one to distract whilst the others found another way and stole what they could carry before scurrying a way back to whence they came. (note they did this to the surface world also, but Kari wasn't so much involved in the raiding side of things)
Another thing I forgot to mention was a twist on the Spartan culture where instead of being taken away from their family it was just children who were orphans and these were chosen for the following reasons.
1.They did not get that family sort of care so it stopped them getting "soft"
2. They did not have as much to lose.
3. They would be missed less if something were to happen to them.
4. it would give them a chance to get revenge on those who took away from them. (If anything did)
I personally feel a lot of the Duskwight culture is about meaning and maybe historical importance (sadly which doesn't get covered by the lore.) Apart from liking it in the dark I don't really see a a reason why one would stay down below ground. Apart from family/friends and traditions which would probably have some kind of meaning towards them. We still need that separation which will define us as a surface world Duskwight Elezen from a Wildwood Elezen, we are both above ground now but what does make its different to them remember we chose to stay behind in the caves.
Which then leads to the reason why are more Duskwight coming above ground. In Kari's case it was flee or be captured or most likely be even killed. Now this can relate to the link pearls it would give a Duskwight a chance to talk about their culture without the misunderstanding of the other races, it gives them that second chance to be among their kin. Like Kari others may not be able to get back to their clan lands so having that interaction with one of their own could make the Duskwight feel like they can relate.
We also use the link pearls because there is no other way its all we have. Although we could use a Moogle to deliver the message but what is there to stop it from reading then talking to the other races about what we do? We use the link pearls because it is our only choice above the surface world. As travelling all around the world to find someone is not really a valid option.
Well those are just my theories behind things
Also loving this discussion!
