Characters that dont know much about xaela culture likely wont cross the continent for a few hours of brawls, but if the event comes to them there will be more foreigners to check it out, spawn an interest to trade oversea etc. ICly speaking I think it works best for that purpose.
We might do that in the future and had a conversation about where to host it initially prior to setting this all up but the characters that were ICly hosting are Steppe bound. Think of it like this: Japanese people set up cultural events in other countries where foreigners can come and participate in unique traditions like tea ceremonies, wearing kimono, learning about shinto and history etc. etc. but if you're interested in learning the most about Japan you'd take a trip to the actual country and look for events that welcomed foreigners!
That's what this was, a group of xaela wanting to share a cultural sport with visitors to foster understanding and exchange.

My character was there to reconnect with her origins but got confused at all the Domans, Gridanians and whatnot partecipating and beating the natives. I'm talking about a purely IC perspective ofc. Not saying what you should or should not do. Just a different perspective.
We were very clear on all the signposting around that we did for this both OOC and IC that this was intended to be a casual event for all. I'm not really sure what else I can tell you. You're saying that this is an IC perspective. Okay. Well bring it up ICly then. This is an OOC thread for OOC discussion and you have only phrased yourself in an OOC context. And I am telling you that, OOCly, this was specifically an event for all characters and has been ever since it's inception.
