Something else to keep in mind is that the majority of the Xaela are highly nomadic on their horses roaming over the steppes etc. I imagine that word could spread relatively quickly if it had to and if there was enough fear of being annhilated by the Garleans then they'd likely hoof it quickly to wherever there was a port and ships waiting to take them.Â
There's also a few seafaring Xaela tribes that could likely have taken ship on their own or taken other tribes with them etc. Trading vessels that come and go from Othard and Doma regularly enough (which also means there's a relatively high chance of smuggling going on) plus with the Doman migration to Mor Dhona it wouldn't be long before more ships were sent back to look for survivors and refugees etc. In all of that the Xaela have quite a few options to get from point A to point B.Â
The real question is how does this race of steppes-dwelling horsemen (and women) cope with likely having to leave their horses behind and go to the land of horsebirds? Not having wide open land to resume their nomadic lifestyle and so on? The psychological effects these massive changes would incur, as well, could be thought of. Many things to think on =)
