The Xaela canon tribes offer a lot of differing temperaments and ideology between tribes. Inferences can also be made about general attitudes towards things, and it allows for folks to make up their own tribes. We've got 51 different puzzle pieces to play with. There is no right or wrong way to Xaela, in my opinion: once I know the general rules, I can then break or bend them to make something that I personally find more interesting. Consider that everything listed is how things once were on Othard, but our characters are all in Eorzea now: we can play characters stuck in the past, or characters that resist change, or characters embracing change, or anything in between.Â
http://heraldry.sca.org/names/mongolian_...marta.html this is a good primer on mongolian naming. Personally, I'm a fan of taking names from history, which is what I did for my Xaela. She's named for a Mongolian/Yuan Emperor, using the name of a tributary tribe for the Imperial tribe. Ayushiridara Khatagin.Â
If you want a place in-game to talk Au Ra, I run the Scales of Othard linkshell. You can pick people's brains there, and everyone is super friendly. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=11298
K'hanli also created a great thread that lists which tribes people have been joining, as well as a listing of non-canon tribes. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread....#pid192416
edit: Also, your city state is based on what class you choose when you first make your character. In my opinion, Grand Company choice is mostly irrelevant, unless you plan to PVP with your friends. Then it matters. If you want it to make sense from an RP perspective, cool, but if you can't make any of it fit, don't sweat it.
