Tourney Altar is the place where Humakt/Sword Man came to Prax and defeated all the local Wargods, just because he could. I think that he came to Tourney Altar because it was a place of challenges already and his deeds strengthened its reputation.
So, it's a place of challenges and the place in Prax for duels. It's sacred to Humakti and worshippers of Sword Man, the Praxian form of Humakt.
Yanafal Tarnils worshippers would probably enjoy going to Tourney Altar and ritually challenging Humakti, so their presence would not be surprising.
I doubt whether Yanafal Tarnils worshippers would be particularly welcome at a Humakti ceremony, but it would depend on the ceremony. An All-Comers Challenge would welcome Yanafal Tarnils, a secret Humakti Ritual or HeroQuest probably wouldn't.
It also depends who the Humakti are. If they were worshippers of Sword Man, they probably couldn't care less about Yanafal Tarnils from a mythical point of view and would just see them as Lunar Invaders. If they were renegades from Starbrow's Rebellion then they would probably be quite hostile to Yanafal Tarnils. If they were Holy Country Humakti, they'd probably be more interested in how shiny the scimitars were and whether the Yanafal Tarnils had lovely uniforms. Visiting Carmanian Humakti would have a rivalry with Yanafal Tarnils but not a hatred.
It might even be possible to take part in a Humakti ceremony and take on a role in that ceremony.
There are many possibilities.
