I suppose it's possible the subject might come up in future MSQ quests, since I'd be surprised if we didn't have to go back the steppes sooner or later (The Palace of the Collared Coin really looks like it'll be a dungeon entrance in the future).
The Oronir origin story, as told by their elder during the MSQ, says that the Xaela and Raen were created, warred, made peace, and after that an avatar of the Dawn Father descended to create the Oronir. They aren't denying relation to the Raen, though they're certainly elevating themselves above the rest of the Auri.

I'm definitely curious about their history considering there are ruins of bridges and roads leading from the Dawn Throne to the Dusk Throne, House of Crooked Coin, and either Reunion or the Ruby Sea. They had some kind of accomplished civilization that collapsed into the tribal nomads of the present, but I haven't seen anything in Azim that really talks about it.
