Miqo'te Moon-Keepers Lore Issues

[RickiFake02]

It's part of the Lore that male birthrates for Keepers is extremely low. Since there's so few of them and given the general matriarchal nature of their culture, I'm assuming societal pressures to stay home and help make the babies is probably huge.

I *know* we're not supposed to be as common. But there could be at least ONE somewhere!

I think they are specifically talking about male Moon Keeper Miqo'te NPCS. I would redirect them to the Couerl King?

Yeah I specifically meant Keepers of the Moon. And the Couerl King doesn't quite count, as he's more a mob than an NPC

Now I completely forget, there is a scion amongst the Scion mooks, who far as i'm aware has kind of partied up with a half-garlean buddy, don't know where the two ended up in the Rising Stones but they used to be in the same room that Urianger was.
Wonder whether he was a keeper or seeker

You mean the one who died in the attack lead by Livia? He was a sunseeker. He had the sunseeker eyes and pretty sure his surname was Tia.

the Keepers of the Moon way of life seems to be a mirror of Mithras from FFXI, while Seekers of the Sun are based off real life lion prides. Seekers are a male-dominate culture, but because males are fewer in numbers, the inevitable structure that arises is that of a pride. Keepers are a female-dominate culture, and because males are so few, they are hidden away for breeding purposes to keep the clans from dying out. This is why you don't see any male Keeper NPCs (the few that exist are kept safe by females), and few male Keeper NPCs (the few that exist still take the spotlight within their communities). Given the Seekers are naturally more out-going than Keepers, it only makes since there would be more Seekers around anyway (regardless of gender).

There are obvious exceptions to these rules (different personalities lead some to reject the norm), but they will be far and few between. Look out long it took SE to give players a glimpse of a male Mithra in FFXI. If the same lifestyle holds true for Keepers, it could be a while before we see the same.

That or we Adventurers have collectively depleted the male Keeper population by striking out for fame and glory. There can't be many gents left at home these days.

You mean G'raha Tia? He's a Seeker.
