So, do they have permanent settlements? Could you stumble upon a Keeper 'family group' in the Shroud, and see houses and whatnot, or is it more of a situation where they pitch tents in one place for a little while and then move on, with various family's shifting between different groups over time?
Do we know about what age male Keepers get kicked out? I'd assume around puberty, for obvious reasons. I wonder if daughters stay with the mother's family group, or also wander off to join a different group - maybe to scatter the gene pool a bit more.
Settlement-wise, there's a bit of both, probably. You can find some Coeurlclaw NPCs around some gates/huts iirc. And if we assume they're anything like Tailfeather, they probably use what best fits the situation.
It's more likely that Keeper Males aren't "kicked out" so much as they head off on their own. Think like, leaving for an adventure. Or job. given that the surname is a family name passed on from the mother, it's likely that daughters probably continue to live with their clans, if not heading to the city. But with a variety of traveling/wandering males, they probably have a fair enough amount of genetic diversity. ...and probably a lot of cousins.
