I can speculate that after a female reaches the right age she ventures out to start her own family unit and that would be tough considering the lack of males. It's just the way the lore describes the Keepers makes me think their family units have mom, dad, and the kids until they come of age and start their own family as compared to the seemingly much larger Seeker tribes.(07-02-2013, 02:23 PM)Azthran Wrote: Yeah I should have mentioned that the surname thing was for Sunseekers and not Moonkeepers. It slipped my mind because to my understanding Moonkeepers don't actually have tribes and just smaller family units.This is about keepers of the moon of course but with regards to it being a small family unit what happens if all the older females die, does a male take over or does the responsibility go to a younger female (dependent on age of course).
If they bought a mate in for the oldest male from out side the family what happens, his children become part of her family but does the family group keep control or does the new older female become the lead. Â
Given the ratio with Miqo'te male to female. Â If in the above said family group there were two younger females and an older male would the two females try and find a mate each from new tribes or would they share one. Â It can all get a little complicated having a female ruled society with very limited access to males, I mean we don't want any inbreeding or anything like that...
A small note about the nunhs. I agree that they still have to gain the favor of the females as there is a bit of dialog in... Forgotten Springs... I think that's it! ANYWAYS! There are a couple of female miqo'te sitting on a rock by a stream and one of them mentions that he doesn't seem to care about his duties or something along those lines.
