Glad this post was revived! I was planning on making a post regarding Auri physiology.
1. Their horns somehow allow them to hear
2. The size difference between sexes are very noticeable
3. The ancestors of the Au Ra seems to be have been tribal nomads prone to conflict with one another. While the Xaela continue the lifestyle of their ancestors, the Raen moved away from that to live a more peaceful life. So it can be assumed that the Raen are are more modern offshoot, whereas Xaela are closer to the ancestral Au Ra
4. Raen seem to have a closer relationship with the Domans, as such their names reflect this (Archaic Japanese?)
Based on an "evolution" standpoint, Au Ra having scales make sense due to the constant fighting amongst the tribe. The scales help protect them, especially around the neck. The description of the horns make it seem like their hearing and sense of balance is superior to the other races, but that's just my opinion.
What what really stumps me (and other people) is the height difference between the sexes. If the ancient Au Ra were hunter-gatherers with alot of inter-tribal war fare then I assume that females stayed close to the tribe, while the men did all the fighting and hunting? Eventually males adapted to being taller and with more pronounced scales, while females grew shorter as to not need as much food since they didn't fight or actively hunt?
Anyways, that's just my speculation
