Great observations!
I likened them to a pride of lions. I'm assuming that like lions, the breeding male doesn't stay "champ" for very long. The title of Nuhn must get passed around quite often. With that in mind, the children being born won't necessarily be full siblings for very long before there is a change. The problem is also solved to a degree when there are multiple Nuhns, as one could look to mate with females outside of your own gene pool.
Also let's say you are a Tia and left your tribe as a juvenile or young adult, you might not have a chance to become Nuhn then but after a few years, you could come back and challenge. By that point, the ruling Nuhn could be someone else. Further changing the make-up of the tribe.
Another possibility not ruled out in the lore is that when a Tia who cannot hope to become Nuhn leaves the tribe, he possibly starts a new one. There isn't anything saying that Tia can't be a former Nuhn. If he were to try and form a new tribe, it's not out of the question that some of the females that share history with him would follow. Leaving the existing tribe to concentrate on new blood so to speak.
Lastly a female seeker with male children would understand the politics behinds who is Nuhn, since the tribes are made up of mostly females, I would surmise that they have a HUGE hand in deciding who is set up to "win" a fight. Like instigating a challenge before a young Tia is quite ready to take on the Nuhn for example.Â
In the end I think that, like several RP'ers have implied, the real power behind the tribes are the females. Leaving the males in some cases, to even be viewed as breeding studs for the good of the tribe. Even though I am positive that there are quite worthy Nuhns around as well.
