The Uz would, for preference, return to the Underworld instead of the living in Hurtplace, but since half the day Yelm is there it's now just as bad as, say, Dagori Inkarth. The troll lands weren't as horrible as we think they are before the trolls arrived. They are like that because they were made like that by the trolls so they could feel comfortable.

The preferred Mostali environment is the built environment. They don't care if it's above ground or below ground as long as it's architecture. Below ground is more defensible, that's all, and there's more room below ground (volume of a cube, area of top surface of cube).
