...I understand the Keepers to lean more toward to monogamy. The structure of the higher class's "courtship" seemed to fit with a matriarchy as well as still cling to some sort of tribal ancestry. Â Freedom would be found in the majority of the population within the normal/lower castes...Â
...As to the house phrasing, I think I just worded it incorrectly. I didn't mean they had literal houses.. although it does fit with my structure, I suppose. There, though, I merely meant they would gain affluence.
Some of this makes for some nteresting places that Keeper culture could go as a whole in light of the calamity, but it has absolutely no basis in lore whatsoever. I know it's frustrating that we don't details on such an atypical culture that many RPers are keen on being a part of, but that doesn't give us the right to just make it up and form a "player made compendium".
As far as I'm concerned we can all continue to play as we will, we'll eventually find a group that RPs as we do and we'll all continue to /eye the ones we find strange. Hah
I just wanted to see how far fetched I was! A few decades it seems!
