Here is a massive wall of lore text about Doma, the Raen, and the Ninjas from Hingashi. It even includes links to more walls of text that reference in-game lore! Basically those links cover just about everything we have in the game about Doma and the Raen, so I hope they're helpful. ^^

In the little official blurbs ffxiv has, they both take little digs at each other, which gave me the impression that they're philosophical opposites and have somewhat contentious, if not outright hostile relations. Is that a correct assumption, or is it considered a non-issue most people don't care about? Are any of the differences between Raen and Xaela of any import for rp, or going to color how people view characters of each clan?
Most people seem to gloss over how the Xaela do not usually get along with any other race and even the Raen in most RP interactions I've witnessed. That's not to say you can't incorporate that into your own roleplay though. My own Raen character is quite suspicious of Xaela who just happened to turn up in Eorzea around the same time as the Doman refugees.
Encyclopedia Eorzea Wrote:Possessed of a strong self-preservation instinct, the Au Ra believe in protecting tribe and family, though the means by which the two clans choose to do so diverges greatly. The Raen coexist peacefully with other races to ensure the safety of their own land, while the fiercely tribal Xaela shun relations with other races, even viewing strangers of their own kind as potential enemies. As such, the former are viewed favorably by the outside world, while the latter are typically regarded with suspicion and hostility.
There's a lot of lore to sift through, but feel free to ask more questions if you have them! ^^
