What the Domans get to see isn't "ah, they're just like the Raen but with different coloured scales". They see "ah, they're like Raen with different scales, and the bulk of them are unpredictable, potentially violent, and not amenable to trade".
So you get the Xaela being viewed as this group of generally violent people, who can't be negotiated with, and are better avoided especially by non-combatants...
As per relations between the two groups I took a subtle cue from the game material. The Xaela are likened to the mongols and the roaming hoards. It's probably pure speculation but I treat the relationships in a similar vein as the Japanese and Mongols. In my rp the Doman Raen view Xeala as crude and violent wanderers who lack proper education and culture. How each Raen treats a Xeala would still depend on the character's personality and the present situation itself. Many of them might be willing to overlook a history of clashing with the alternative clan in favor of banding together once they became refugees in a strange land. That's how I play it, anyhow.
