I'm not sure that "outcast" is really the right word to use. They leave voluntarily (in most cases, anyway; I could certainly see some being resentful of what is expected of them), there's no enmity involved - it's just tradition. They're even welcome BACK to the villages, under the right circumstances (for breeding).

Also wouldn't say "most". It seems clear that ALL males are required to leave, as soon as there's an older male available to apprentice them.

Of course, all this goes out the window if you're talking about city-dwelling Viera, males and females alike. They've explicitly left their traditions behind, so for them, anything is possible!
