Welcome! I am also fairly new to the forums. Being on FFXIV is my first time playing an MMO and my first time RPing, I'm trying to figure everything out but If you want to set up a casual RP session just send me a PM or a tell Big Grin

I don't know. Like, I'm just not used to the idea of having like an alpha male type of thing. I've never done anything remotely close to being related to that, so integrating it into my character is going to be a challenge for me. Nothing I can't handle, I don't think, but I'll need to read up a bit more on it and let it sink in I suppose.

Thanks! I love the name Lexi for some reason. Figuring out a lore-friendly spelling of the name was fun too!

I really wish I could send tells, but they don't let you do that in the free trial. Maybe in the future once I actually pay for the game.

Anyway, thanks to everyone so far for all the warm welcoming messages. You're all great! <3

I may be wrong here, but I was under the impression that it's not necessarily the Nunh that leads, and therefore becomes "alpha male", in every tribe. Sometimes he does take on the leadership role, but I think that's by no means a given...?

From what I gather (Since I'm not much for the Miq'ote lore, really), the Nuhn IS the alpha male, and in many traditional tribes, his word is law. But some tribes may have multiple nuhns, so ultimately, it's a case-by-case basis. Maybe a Nuhn does a vote of what his people want. Maybe the Tia have also some control on the tribe, like in example the Forgotten Sands tribe, it's really depending on the tribe.

Again, I might be wrong, since I am not big on the miq'ote social structure, as fascinating as it is, tribe structure isn't my thing.

Not even introduction threads are safe from derailing into Miqo'te lore discussions.

*cough Nuhns are the alpha breeding males not necessarily the leaders that is usually relegated to the huntresses of the tribe cough*

What Session is probably trying to say is that there's plenty of discussion on how Miqo'te tribes already taking place in a couple threads in the forum! Feel free to peruse the other sections and take a look at any threads that catch your interest! Some may have the answers you seek, others might be a good spot to ask for some clarification.

K'nahli · **02-10-2015, 11:47 AM**

As has been said, there are numerous threads for this but to briefly clarify, nunh's are typically not leaders according to the lore. If your character or any other female in the tribe wanted children then they'd be expected to go to the nunh and no other male - in an effort to produce only the fittest of offspring.

That's it in a nutshell.

SicketySix · **02-10-2015, 11:56 AM**

Not to keep this going, (he says, while doing just that) though it doesn't say exactly if a Nunh is considered the leader, it would make sense that the strongest of the tribe, in this can, the Nunh, would be leader of said tribe.

No as stated before, none of this isbfacts, and is just my own opinion

LexiQ · **02-10-2015, 01:37 PM**

Sorry! Didn't mean for it to become another miqo'te thread lol. But this is what I mean about having to figure things out before I can be more confident with my character. People all have their own interpretations of how the tribes work, the job of a nunh, non-tribal miqo'te, etc.

From what I've read, it's true that the nunh doesn't have to be a leader. I can see the leader of a tribe being more of an elder maybe while a nunh, as others have said, is just the strongest in the tribe and as many others have said, the one who is expected to help the tribe grow in strength and numbers through breeding.

So for now, while I understand if not everyone agrees on certain aspects, I'm just reading all I can, taking it all in, so I can form my own views and have a more developed character that I can get into the mindset of.

Atoli · **02-10-2015, 01:48 PM**

In regards to nunhs leading, on official lore pages (the FF wiki for example) I've found Square Enix to be contradictory. Their naming convention post and wiki page specify that nunhs do not always lead, yet their race page says nunhs typically do. I've considered it safest to think leading or not is a "sometimes" matter because dealing in absolutes on literally fragmented lore is dangerous xD That being said, if you're writing up the lore of your tribe, really just do what you want with that specifically. With how choppy the specifics on the race's lore is, you have little to worry about, and no one should mind too terribly much.

Desu Nee · **02-10-2015, 01:52 PM**

My rule of thumb is case by case basis. Some tribes he's basically the breeding male. In some he leads. Some the tribe is nomadic so it gets complicated.

I'm making a tribe that is mixed with keepers and seekers, based on the Brazilian Tribes in the Amazonia, so I'm really stalking this threads to get ideas and workings, lmao.

Ah, that person wasn't directing that towards you. A lot of topics around a certain nature have often found themselves coming back around to a discussion about miqo'te lore in particular.

In any case, any further questions or discussions about the topic are best brought to this topic where everyone can read and contribute ^^

Ligardian Dreamer · **02-10-2015, 07:10 PM**

Ah ha, the others are right in that there's a couple number of Miqo'te-related lore in the forums here that you can look into as a way to familiarize yourself... I was only going to see if I could provide some sort of answer for you but, haha, everyone else beat me to it! X3

But yeah, definitely take your time sinking in what you can... With the fourms here and Sounsyy and the others, I'm sure you'll be just fine! ^^

I've read over that thread so far and I think it's given me a more solid foundation on what I'd like to do. Thanks a bunch!
