If it helps, a lot of the Au Ra of both types that have come to Eorzea and there because they were fleeing from Othard due to the actions of the Garleans. So, if you need something for your hero to be vengeful against - the Garlemald's a good fallback. Also, there's two (I think?) Xaela tribes that are usually in conflict and one that is basically just mean to the rest, so there's that option if you don't want to go the Anti-Empire route.
Of course, being deposed could also provide a reason why your character is wandering for peaceful reasons. You've been uprooted from your homeland, so now you're just trying to find that little piece of your own again in Eorzea - perhaps a spot that reminds you most of home, or maybe even one that is as least like it as possible to avoid having those bittersweet memories always at the forefront of your mind.
Excellent suggestions there. He is a Raen, however, so not sure the Xaela would be a good idea overall there. I'm definitely planning on running with the Garlean bit.
