You quoted what it says about Papalymo, but you didn't say where it is. The quote you gave is circumstantial at best. While I get it saying "Desert People" would make you think, Dunesfolk, it does not, it just means people of the desert. There are plenty of Hyurs, Roegadyn, and Miqo'te who are also considered "Desert People ". And for a lalafellian example, Teledji Adeledji is a Desert Person and is confirmed a Plainsfolk. Granted he has one of each for his parents, but he is a Plainsfolk. The same could be said of Papalymo.

As for Ardashir, the lore book says his father is a Far Eastern Trader, so it could be either he's mixed between Far Eastern and Near Eastern Hyurs. Or a conformation and assimilation and he's still Far Eastern but has a Near Eastern name since its where he resides/where he was born.
