I interpretated it that way as well. My Raen lived in a settlement before coming to Eorzea, and they kept to themselves unless people passed through their area, or extreme trade circumstances.
It's interesting that warriors would be the ruling class in Raen hierarchy - maybe they aren't so different to Xaela after all.
Here's a cool thread about what some of the random generator surnames mean, reflecting different professions.Thankfully SE were quite kind and didn't make the Au Ra lore very restricted, so if you wanted to make a Raen in a tribe it wouldn't be unheard of.
Both clans have something to build off of, although Raen is more of a blank slate. I plan on an Xaela alt that will be in one of the tribes mentioned but a smaller unit of it broken off from the main tribe, so if our headcanons aren't the same it won't be awkward for others hopefully, nor will it require me to rely on other's characters in the tribe as I don't know many people at the moment.
