@NullTheFool many many generations ago my forefather was a trader in Syria, crossing the desert with his caravan. In the distance he could see bandits approaching fast. He knew they would be the death of him, so he got off his camel and prayed for salvation. As the story goes, the ground started shaking, and a gap formed between the bandits and the caravan. They were able to get away without suffering any harm.
From that day on our name was Zalzala, which roughly translates to earthquake.
