Miqo'te Lore

[Saikou]

I haven't noticed this propensity as much in 2.0, but I must admit that I don't notice the incidental dialogue of NPCs that we have now very much. As far as the Moon Keepers of Gridania go, they seem more career-minded as with most other denizens of The Shroud. There is a fair skinned Moon Keeper in the Archer Guild quest line who, though more laid back than the others, is clearly focused on her role as a teacher. There is also a drow-toned Moon Keeper in the Wood Wailers who you will encounter in a side quest chain when the main story takes you to Coerthas. She is singularly devoted to Ixali extermination and said to be a harsh leader. And so, though I cannot say this with certainty, anecdotal evidence points to Moon Keepers being less... prone to sowing their wild oats.

There is also the Miqo'te in the Arcanist line who seems entirely focused on her craft, but I do not recall if she was a Sun Seeker or a Moon Keeper. Then again, most Arcanist NPCs you meet seem to be more focused on academics and arcane secrets than on socializing and fraternizing.

The Sun Seekers of Ul'dah are a whole other story. I kind of wonder if the Sun Seekers living there and at Costa del Sol are the libertine ones while those who live a tribal lifestyle or are dedicated to a guild are more staid. I lack the data to say for certain. There's a lot in 1.0 that would indicate that Ul'dah Miqo'te are very libertine, but it could be that in different locations and in different situations we are seeing different segments of the Miqo'te population. There are many Sun Seekers in Ul'dah. And many of them are dancers. There is a lot of innuendo from NPCs that either they do put out on occasion or that prostitution is happening. This is never said outright, likely for content ratings reasons.

The Tribal/City split with the Sun Seekers interests me very much, as they seem to have stark cultural differences.

Yeah, it's really interesting, it would be nice if they released more info on the lore of the races in the future but as you said, it seems that the Moonkeepers are more focused on their tasks rather than fooling around with other races, while the Sunseekers are more laid back and cheerful.

Another thing that caught my attention is that it's possible that not all the Sunseekers live in groups ruled by a Nunh and some of them prefer the city life and since Ulda'h is a city where you can't do anything without money it would be common for them to fall into prostitution for a quick buck or even to survive since it seems that life in the city is kinda harsh at the moment with all the refugees coming from other places thanks to the calamity.
