Woot!

As for the villages; that's explained as well. The males don't live in the village - they live alone or in small packs, and that's only when one of the older males takes all of the young teen jacks under his wing. So, there will always be one male who has a few younger males with him - teaching them the ways of the Wood Warden. Think Master Jedi with their Padawan/s

It could be argued that you did indeed see males; any young kits in those villages could have been a boy - you just couldn't tell! xD And for obvious reasons your character was never there for er... 'breeding season'.

Would have made so much more sense if they just had them be asexual, reproduce by some funky wood magic or something that can also reproduce sexually with other races so the halflings exist. But nope, had to have the males exist. Had to make them important to the woods protection.

Honestly, I wouldn't kick so much of a fuss if I wasn't getting increasingly worried about how they would tell the story of the Greatwood if they weren't there. The WoD just one step behind.

'Haha, oh you just missed our Wood Wardens, they were here a moment ago!'
'But I was literally standing here for the past week, watching from that bush. When the heck did they show up?'
'Oh...erm, they're very secretive and able to hide themselves?'
'Like Ninjas?'
'Yes, like Ninjas!'
'But I can, see Ninjas!'

Male Vieras have unbreakable 'Hide' ability.

'Warrior of Darkness, all of our Males were taken by the great fire! They're all dead!'
'All of them, even the children?'
'All of them, it was horrible!'
'What about the ones not in the wo-'
'ALL OF THEM!'

--

'Oh no, all of our Males have been taken by the Empire!'
'Don't fear, the warrior of darkness is here! I'm an expert of saving people from the Empires shackles - Minfilla used to get captured all the time! But I digress, where are they? I will free them!'
'Oh, it's okay. We don't need them.'
'But we're vastly outnumbered and they have the better tech, we need all the help we can get, especially of the fabled Wood Wardens who are so good at keeping people out that no one has seen them!'
'We. Don't. Need. Them.'

--

'T'is a disaster all of our males were taken by a primal and seduced by its wicked whims but that's not the least of it!'
'Oh, what happened?'
'Warrior of Darkness, oh, I can't bare to speak of it!'
'Please, I must know!'
'T-they...'
'Yes?'
'They turned into random bara lions!'
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'

Enjoy the cringe.
