I do question a few points however. As brought up in this thread, we don't have a whole lot of real life matriarchal societies to draw upon when imagining the Keepers, but there are a few. I was personally quite taken with the idea that, like the Mosuo, Miqote might take mating/coupling/relationships in a far less formal tone than you have suggested here.

It makes sense to me that a society that highly values physicality in the form of hunting and sport, would put less emphasis on social status or class through other means. I personally see them as gaining status almost entirely through prowess in battle, while some reverence is based bloodlines. I personally don't see "class" playing a part much at all.

Quote:Each member within the community is expected to hold a skill-set vital to the success of the commune. While difficult, the climb can and has been made from the bottom of the social ranking toward the top and into a house of influence.Â
I don't really think Keepers should veer into the area of family houses personally. I like the idea of small tribes better.

I thought they would be called small tribes made of 1-3 families.

My take on the anthropology of the Keepers of the Moon
