While I was pleased to go to my race / clan's homeland, it felt... weird the whole time. I don't think anyone acknowledged me as a Xaela, except perhaps for Hien just before Bardam's Mettle and the buuz meat merchant in Reunion in very throwaway lines. One would think they'd acknowledge kinship, but nope... you're "not of the Steppe," an "outsider," "traveler" etc. just like everyone else. (Granted I did not expect to have my specific tribe acknowledged, but kinship seems like a pretty big thing to overlook. Even for tribal nomads.)

The Mol struck me as a reasonable people, if a little quirky due to their consultation of the elder gods before doing anything. (Totes amused the leader, Temulun Khatun, had my old given name.) The Oronir felt like arrogant jerks the whole time, while the Dotharl were... well they didn't seem bloodthirsty, just proud and fierce.

I have to start putting things like "The Xaela are a warrior race!" into macros for things like Dark Arts Bloodspillers now though. No bets on who goes Super Xaela first.
