The Au Ra are from Doma

Doma is in Othard
And don't forget, the current domans in Eorzea are only the first wave of refugees. Yugiri said in Ul'dah that more are coming and that her group arrived Eorzea first to find a place for all.

Othard is a continent; Doma is a city. Not all Au Ra will be Doman citizens.
I believe Yugiri also mentioned that a vast part of Othard was under attack from Garlean forces; not just Doma.

Any news on naming covention

There was a hint as regards to what the two "tribes" are called, as well as basic confirmation that "Yugiri" is an Au Ra name.

We know 2 tribes:
1. Raen -- has always had a close relationship with doma, as such have japanish names (probably where Yugiri comes from)
2. Xaela -- Are nomadic

A1: There are two clans: Au Ra Raen and Au Ra Xaela. Au Ra Raen have been closely related to the Domans for long time, so their names are somewhat Japanese-like. The Xaela on the other hand have led a nomadic lifestyle for some time, and they have a unique naming convention.

Yugiri is a Raen

And with this, food for thought: The Raen are the Light-horned Au Ra and the Xaela are the dark-horned.

Hence a bit of frustration over the vagueness of "they have a unique naming convention". I like the look of the dark horns better, so my Au Ra character is going to be a Xaela, but I still have no clue what sort of name he should have. I sure hope this teaser bit of info is followed soon by a more detailed Naming Conventions sticky post in the Lore forum.

maybe with a way people think the darker au ra the xaela are going to be demonic while the rein are more draconic, it might be a good assumption (for now) to say that the xaela have more biblical/ demonological names such as lucifer.

then again we know hardly anything of the xaela we only know one Raen and we know theres are japanese like so on the 27th (when i think benchmark will come out) we will see :D but i do hope they post the naming conventions soon, i have been sat on a name for my raen au ra for a while and i want to be lore friendly D:
