Since it seems so many of us will be playing Miqo'te as our mains, I thought it might be nice to have a round table about them. There's already been some interesting discussion touched on in the official forums (like here, here, and here), but I thought we might want to speak on it here, too.
We were given a tasty chunk of lore to think about, but if you're like me, you're probably left with a lot of questions.

- How do Seekers, and Keepers for that matter, keep their gene pools diverse with such a small amount of breeding males? This seems... problematic from a genetic and longevity standpoint. (Not to mention we're probably going to have a few Seekers bragging about their 50 women harems and beating their chests about it... ._.)
- How much freedom do nuhn have, anyway? What about nuhn of the Keepers? ARE there nuhn within the Keepers, or is there a more '"nuclear family" situation?
- I find it interesting that nuhn are rarely in leadership roles, and I wonder what that means. Are men rarely considered for leadership altogether, or are the nuhns' duties considered to be too much with the added responsibility of leadership (*gigglesnort*)?Â
- Is there tension or animosity between the Seekers and Keepers? How did their schism arise?
- From how nuhn gain their status through battle, we can assume that physical strength and skill is valued among Miqo'te. Does this permeate other facets of their cultures? I can almost imagine they might have holidays with events like the Highland games!
- What does Miqo'te art look like? I would be so ecstatic to know! The only thing I can glean from the lore they gave us, is that it would probably include their totems as well as their gods and the sun/moon.
