This is a really good point. I've never thought about it but Keeper's would seem to be more Polyamorous than Seekers.
... I'm not understanding, I think. How so? I'm still VERY new/rough on the lore, so be gentle.
Well the seeker arrangement is more of a societal thing. It's not about love. If one nunh is stronger, they're in charge, the ladies don't get to vote. Though they can leave with the defeated Nunh, this seems rare.
Keeper relationships seem more based on romance and personal connections.
#also thanks freelance, even though you give me so many warnings I still <3 you!
I think, like you said, it's more about society. But it also, to me, seems about duty. Kind of an "everyone for the tribe" so-to-speak. It doesn't mean that the Nunh or tribe as a whole don't respect their women. After all, the women do their hunting and whatnot. They likely know that without them, they wouldn't exist and wouldn't be able to continue their tribe.
