You're underestimating how refugee populations move. Â They move hard, fast, and by any route available, often even if it's expensive, dangerous, and impractical.
Why?
Because the current options are worse, and the potential payoff, either in basic safety quality of life, is so exponentially better in theory that it's worth it.
You can look to a lot of RL examples of how refugee populations move, both across the sea and across deserts and hazardous war-torn areas, in RL right now in the news. Â There's plenty of examples of people from desert areas and no ties to the sea jumping literally onto a ship to get the hell out of dodge right now in Europe/african relations (A lot of it is also laced with racist drivel, but that's another story). Â
It happens. It happens A LOT, in RL and IG. Â Refugee migration and influx is a thematic in FFXIV. Â Domans, Al Migans. Â There's so MANY people displaced by war, disaster, and suffering, that the Xaela are just another population who've been bent over a barrel by terrible circumstance and politics and maybe even other factors.
It makes sense. Â The details of the why you have to hash out for yourself, sure, but that's something we all have to do with every char.
