So it stands to reason the Keepers (Males in particular) will love more than one person and everyone will be fine with that.As I've stated I'm very much not familiar where that is, and I'm soooo sorry if this is de-railing Lili's thread but the point was made about races and stuff, where is monogamy not part of the Keeper lifestyle? I understand that there are just lots less male miqo'te (seeker and keeper) but I don't see why it's close to if then.
I don't think it was in the lore until very very recently. Â The dialogue Aysun posted a few posts back showed the offense and chagrin Mauh Lihzeh felt over some Keepers being held by King Poach: "most unnaturally they lie with him and him alone."
To me, that suggests Keepers are very used to sharing and would likely resist monogamy. Â Whereas Seekers are expected to be monogamous to the Nuhn (same-sex relationships notwithstanding in my particular tribe).
It was like "wow he's forcing multiple women to be with him. He totally only needs one."
I guess I'm struggling to see how the fact that they are much more into fulfilling and loving relationships means that they're more likely to be polyamory. Taking promiscuity into account because of the need for males to breed with the larger amount of females, what's in the lore that states that it's only familial and isn't for procreation purposes?
