Aaah, your last question has been the subject of much sociological discussion amongst my own little Seeker tribe group! Smile It's actually a pretty interesting thing to think about, as surely the Seeker culture would lead to some subtle or significant differences in their worldviews.

I think there are many ways to take it, something that could probably be said for almost everything related to Seekers. Each tribe is going to have their own unique twists on how to handle things. It is possible that with the role of the Nunh being what it is, relations between him and the women of the tribe may be more contractual. He has his duty, and the women understand and respect that duty. One could treat it a bit like marriages back in old Europe used to be - of a business nature, rather than a feeling one. It's a role the tribe respects, and a role the Nunh respects. That latter part is an important distinction to me, as I think our tendency is to look at a the Nunh as "the guy who gets all the ladies", when it's entirely possible that the Seeker's cultural perspective does not allow for such a selfish idea. Sure, maybe there's a few Nunh's like that, but it's more likely that the role of Nunh is seen as a duty, rather than an opportunity to chase tail.

However, consider that the Nunh may also need the support and approval of the women in order to be successful at his duty. Also, Seekers are social, human-like people that clearly have emotion and develop emotional connections. Therefor, it's also an equally valid interpretation to approach the Nunh-tribe relationship as much more personal. Perhaps the Nunh needs to win over the women before he can truly succeed at Nunhship. Perhaps inevitably, the Nunh will have favorite(s), or perhaps he won't. Perhaps his desire for the Nunh title was born out of a desire to be with a certain member of the tribe. Perhaps this might cause strife amongst the tribe, if he is not as equally attentive to his duties. I think that level of detail is really up to the interpretation of the roleplayer and how their own character would respond to the role.

I have a character who used to be the Nunh, up until the point he died at Carteneau at least. In the Hipparion Tribe that we roleplay, his role in the tribe was not really one of social or political leadership but of fatherhood. Not only was he responsible for ensuring future generations were born, but he was also responsible for the care of said future generations. Who looks after the kids when the women are out hunting? The Nunh. Who's the one interacting with and teaching the kids moral and social lessons when they're too young to go on hunting trips? The Nunh. It's not that the women are inattentive, but they certainly have many, very important responsibilities. The Nunh's greatest responsibility is towards his kids.

That's just how I played it, though. Smile
