There was 2 nunhs, they chose not to fight when only one was needed at some point - more clearly, one chose to step down. Son is wiling to get revenge, then thinks better of it when he learns of the context and what really happened.
Maybe the current nunh is taking him under his wing. Maybe the current nunh has no other son or male miqo'te to count on. Maybe he does that just out of pity. Maybe he intends to step down when the son is deemed worthy enough, or maybe he doesn't intend to give him an easy way and make the son prove his worth in combat in spite of anything...Â
It's more of the domain of speculation rather than lore facts unless we get an extension of that questline at some point... I'm not totally sure what could be answered here?
My main thing was trying to understand if this is just a specific instance of occurrence or if there has been other things within lore hidden away that has shown other Seekers to do this. I was always of the belief they fight to get their rank. Why just step down? The way the general lore seems to be is that they are males determined to run a pride yet they seem to show more humanity then anything with this one alone. I feel as if this actually should be a focus of Seeker lore rather then the mass 'I love to fight, I'm the strongest nunh ever!' I constantly see people play.
Yes it seems to usually be determined by a fight or a contest of skills.
Here in the case of that tribe we were confronted to a whole other case scenario where there are too many nunhs. While we don't know if the nunhs would have to fight to determine who remains in position and who gets back to being a tia ultimately, we know that they didn't do it here and one chose to step down.
It doesn't absolve however the son, willing to challenge the nunh status, to have to go through the usual challenge of the current nunh.
What I meant above is that if we follow the general guidelines, that son would probably have to challenge the nunh like he has done so far, when he's ready. I don't see anything preventing that current nunh to step down when he's too old, or out of shape, or whatever, but I rarely see that as a necessity since most of the time a capable tia will probably show up and challenge him anyway. And the son seems determined so...
