I think it should also be pointed out that Seekers can and do live in the Shroud. (In fact, there are more Seeker NPCs in the city of Gridania than there are Keepers.) Keepers can also live in Limsa Lominsa or in Ul'dah. Keepers are just more common in the Shroud, while Seekers are more common around Limsa, Ul'dah, and Ala Mhigo. But there are NPCs of both clans in alternative cities and regions.
So if you'd prefer to have a Seeker Miqo'te from Gridania who is a conjurer or Hearer, that is certainly something that can be done. As well as having a Keeper who has wandered to Limsa Lominsa.

Or when they do stroll into town to breed how long do they stay? Would it be possible for one to stay for the pregnancy? If a Keeper Male was an architect or something might he do some repairs while in town? Do men hunt and come to town and sell or do they just donate it to the community? When males become adults do they get booted from the community? Do the fathers roll back in and get them?
If you've read everything in this post about racial lore then you've read everything we know from the lore about Keepers.
Muah Lihzeh Wrote:The men of the Keepers of the Moon live a wanderer's life, for they are at their best in small doses. Women and children keep the hearth, ply various trades, and accept game and visits from the menfolk. But King Poach denies women this gods-given rule over matters of family. He forces women to live with him, forbids them to see their sisters, mothers, aunts. Most unnaturally, they lie with him and him alone! So terrible are their crimes that all Keepers of the Moon feel the suspicion and fear cast their way.

As you likely already know, we Keepers of the Moon are not raised with a father, so it was just my mother with us at home. Now, of course, I live on my own. After one of my older sisters moved to Ul'dah, I decided to follow her example and leave the Black Shroud.
Beyond this, it's up to the roleplayer or group to come up with their own headcanons about their particular Keeper families, because they can all be different! Lore covers what is most common or what is tradition. If you want to have a Keeper who stays longer or one who offers his services to the Keeper women of the family he visits (though it's likely unnecessary since Keeper women are self sufficient) than that's your character's backstory.
Hope this helps!
