They move because they must. I'm assuming that the cities of your isola are permanent settlements, then? With no great natural disasters once every few years that necessitate the relocation of a metropolitan area within a month or so. No Catastrophes, as it were.
[ The idea that permanent cities exist is just as odd to Midnight, although he can see, historically, how those things came to be. Pre-Catastrophe era, he's perfectly aware that there were civilizations that built without fear of the threat of Originium hanging over their heads. It's just not the current reality in Terra, and he's had to get used to the fact that he can look up at a sky that looks so dramatically different from his own and know that this, for some, is normal. ]
