As Kilieit said, there isn't a whole ton to draw upon for the Xaela as a people. On one side? This gives you a tremendous amount of wiggle room, which is even supported by the fact that it's not uncommon for entire tribes to go unnoticed/undocumented. On the other? It means you'll have to determine what's good for you with little-to-no lore to help.

Study Mongolian culture a bit, since that's what they're (loosely) based on, and then maybe start to cherry pick and tweak aspects you find interesting. For instance, horses were a big thing for the nomadic Mongols, and I imagine that's equally true for the Xaela. So how do the Sagahl deal with this?

For clothing? It apparently varies between tribe. One tribe makes armor from the bones of tigers, while another wears nothing at all, save a paste they make to endure the heat. I'd imagine the Sagahl may make bits of armor from the vilekin they kill. A reason to wear the Vath armor, maybe?

On the point of farming/supplies: maybe the Sagahl have done some trading with the Dalamiq? Or another one of the few tribes that have abandoned the nomadic lifestyle? Vilekin parts for this and that to be used for- this and that. Something to help compensate for what they can't gather regularly.

In the end, one of the fun (but also frustrating) things about playing Xaela is that you're free to be very creative with the character, but you're gonna have to be ready for differences in opinion and interpretation, as Kilieit pointed out. It definitely comes up, sooner or later.
