C'kayah grew up in a sept of the Coeurl tribe. There's a coming-of-age ritual called "Hunting the World" where young adults go out and see things, then return to the tribe. C'kayah went to Ul'dah, and never returned.
If C'kayah hadn't been so taken with Ul'dah when he arrived there, he wouldn't have become A'rela Nereh's latest "cabana boy". He wouldn't have been subjected to certain thaumaturgical processes as part of suiting her tastes. He wouldn't have turned to crime after she tired of him and discarded him. He wouldn't have started smuggling, he wouldn't have met S'aitei or Natalie or Lili or Kenthy. He wouldn't have started his own crime organizations.
He would have likely gone back home and either tried to challenge for Nunh, or he'd be a hunter. A very different C'kayah.
