With that said I'd still like to share my thoughts on the Nunh and Tia titles. I think, and I could be wrong, that some people sort of look down on the Tia title. Not exactly their fault as some of the lore I've seen kind of puts the Nunh in a better light as the tribe's strongest male and being able to make babies but that's sort of it.
Tias on the other hand can do all sorts of things in the tribes and the tribal leaders will carry the title of Tia instead of Nunh most of the time.Â
Personally I'm also not too fond of seeing a bunch of players running around with the Nunh title since the Nunh's job is to protect the tribe and make babies it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me for them to be running around having adventures in the far reaches of Eorzea. That isn't to say that they aren't the Nunh to a smaller sister tribe that's starting up and haven't found a place to settle yet as I'm sure it happens now and then.
As for the title changing from Tia to Nunh or Nunh to Tia I don't think it would happen very often and I'm talking years possibly decades since there are only two ways for a Tia to become a Nunh and that's either to beat the tribe's current Nunh or to get the favor of enough women to leave with him to make his own sister tribe. Nunh to Tia would happen even less I think since it's hinted that often the end of those challenges to become Nunh ends in a death. Not saying it always ends in a death but it wouldn't shock anyone in the tribe if either the current Nunh or the hopeful were killed in the challenge.
Think I started to ramble on again... sorry about that.
Of course city based Miq are probably not exactly going to follow the ancient tribal lifestyles and might be prone to call themselves Nunh to say they are virile. Â With the push to the cities from the Calamity and the problems beforehand one might see the tribal society as.. dying.
