I'll add what I know
It's just fairly recently that more and more keepers are moving into Gridania and are assimilating into their culture.

Quote:â–¬ Are there any specific outfits they wear, colors etc.? [Example, White Mages wear mostly white/off white] Could I pull off the current outfit in an RP setting?None is mentioned, but being nocturnal and hunters, I'd imagine their clothing to blend in with the dark environment: nothing bright and probably earth tones (dark greens/brown) and black.
Quote:â–¬ Keepers are known to live in the Shroud and are at conflict with Gridanians, but some also live in peace with them by adapting. Does anyone care to explain this a little more in depth?Traditionally, Keepers are hunters. Its what they do in order to survive, but it's also a rite of passage. It's a conflict because for many centuries the Gridanians have been following the rules of the Elementals: don't take more than you need from the forest. The thing is, Seekers are doing just that with their hunting and that's bad news for the Gridanians because once an Elemental is fed up EVERYONE in the forest will be killed. The Elementals are weak now, but they were very much a threat prior to the Calamity. In other words, the Shroud belongs to the Elementals.

Quote:â–¬ If they live out in the wild, do Keeper clans join together or do they remain separate, keeping their numbers small?I can't say for sure about each clan's size, but it at least seem as if each clan have a relatively friendly or neutral relationship with each other. Even if they're not related or of the same clan they still refer to each other as "sister" and won't actively kill another seeker unless they're a lost cause (ARC story line?)
Quote:â–¬ Where in the Shroud they would make a home? Is there any specific area they tend to go toward?Deep shroud, I take it. The farther away from Gridanian settlements the better; there is a coerlclaw(?) settlement on the outer edge of Camp Tranquil, near the Thanalan border.
Quote:â–¬ They live a rather matriarchal lifestyle; does it mean they are also feminists or consider themselves better and superior to males?It doesn't seem that way. They welcome the occasional male, but it seems as if they don't get along well for extended periods of time. But that seems to be how both sexes prefer it since it's very "unnatural" for there to be monogomous type of relationship with a male seeker and probably vice-versa.
Quote:â–¬ What exactly are their views on outsiders/other races? Are they very racist/avoiding contact with them or are they rather open toward other races? Are they open to making acquaintances/friends with others or heavily limit it to their family?They don't strike me as xenophobic and we see plenty seeker npcs; though I'd imagine they're very protective of each other, especially in Seeker settlements (wherever they are).
Quote:â–¬ Also, are there any quests/NPC conversations within the game that talk more about Keepers?ARC questline revolves a seeker in Gridania vs a seeker poaching clan
