What makes Keepers more 'prone' to be in a polyamorous relationship than any other race? All the races have intimacy and love in their relationships (ASSumption). What makes them more likely to be in polyamorous relationships than any other individual relationships?
Here it is:

The mating structure of the Keepers of the Moon is much less covered in the lore. About the only thing officially known is that it is a matriarchal structure, where the females hold positions of influence. It is noted in their naming guide that “rarely do even the largest Keeper of the Moon families have more than two or three sons. This is not by choice. Nature merely sees to it that more females are born to this race.â€Â I have also seen it mentioned that male Keepers are highly nomadic.
Because of the gender gap in terms of numbers and no mention of a harem structure similar to that of the Seekers, it is highly likely that Keepers exhibit a promiscuous mating system. This is similar to many bird species, and one of the major hallmarks of this type of system is the notion of female choice or sexual selection. Females choose mates based on subjective criteria that serve no obvious survival benefit aside from attracting mates: songs, plumage/coloration, mating dances, etc. This is reinforced by the fact that the starting attributes of a Keeper character favor the mental attributes over the physical.
Though I may be misunderstanding your question.
