Yugiri is a Raen (light-scaled) Au Ra though, and only the Xaela (dark-scaled) Au Ra are from the Steppe.

The lorebook says that the Raen have "fully assimilated to the cultures of Doma and Hingashi" but it's possible they originated in the undersea kingdom that we visit in the Shisui questline.

Meanwhile if I remember correctly, Mide from the Alexander quests was from the Hotgo tribe? The lorebook has a list of Xaela tribes and says that the Hotgo were "recently massacred by the Dotharl [and] the only members surviving are those who left the tribe to travel on their own and were not present during the killing". That could be a vague reference to Mide and her companions and that only they survived, but it's also possible that there are others and it's normal for some tribe members to leave and travel elsewhere.


There are a couple of other Au Ra around elsewhere in Eorzea. From memory, there's one at the Wolves' Den pier, and in Idyllshire there's Seika (a Raen) at the gear augmentation stall and Adkiragh (who insists he is specifically definitely not an Adarkim Xaela) in the same building as Zhloe Aliapoh.
