Â
That isn't to say that a male and female couldn't split off but I think it would be a rare happening. Â Maybe this is what happens when a seeker and a keeper mate. Â I think I read that going against the tribe rules is a little frowned on but again I could quite easily be wrong.
Again I'm just referring to the keepers side of affairs.
So then I suspect it is safe to say that a seeker female who falls for a keeper male would likely be cast out of her current tribe? The pair would possible be exiled or keep their affair a secret. I'm new and just sort of working through the things in my brain in regards to lore.
The parents and child may be also be shunned by both tribes, depending on their stance on inter-tribal breeding.
It should be noted that the game's character creator is not expected to allow for mixed tribes at launch.
So members who breed outside of their tribe may be cast out, depending on their tribe's personal feelings about inter-tribal breeding.
It should be noted that there doesn't seem to be an official source for that quote or for information about inter-tribal breeding, and that it is all speculation. Here is the source for that wiki page:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...onventions
It doesn't include information about conventions for mixed tribes.
So basically, unless there's another official source somewhere, you ought to treat any creative liberties regarding what tribes do about mixed tribe Miqo'te as a treatment that only occurs within a certain circle of your clan or family structure, so it doesn't conflict with similar backgrounds that other people may think up. Just seems like good sense.
@Ryanti, since it seems like your character is half Hyur and half Miqo'te, do you happen to know where the official lore is regarding cross-breeding between races?
