Lore is a bad one in this case because we already know that they exist. And as soon as something exists, its not that big of a stretch to believe that one individual of the whole group decided to leave their home to save the world.

I do wanna talk about about the lore that shadowbringer gave about the Viis.

So in the sidequests they mention that a male killed the beast and helped a female but went out of sight because the WoL came. There is also a side quest where we have to get things for a newborn baby, which is seemingly something that has not happend for a time. And we also learn that there are maybe a handful of males left thanks to the flood and the sineaters..

So my question is: Why are they not trying to make more babies? I know that they get older than most races but would their cycle really be that much worse?

The females might not even have much of a problem because we do know that other Viis are born outside the village (Lyna for example) thus either those are all males that left, or they can reproduce with other races...but for the males this situation is very bad. They are already less because of the low birthrate and then they have a harsher life and the flood happened too..wouldnt it make more sense for them to try and make more babies thus increasing the chance to have more males too.

I mean even if they have longer birth cycles they should still have way more children running around..but seemingly that one baby girl is the first birth in quite some time..when other races (or humans) can give birth every year or two then they should be at least be able to give birth every five to ten years?

What are your thoughts? (I know that I might be overthinking it but maybe this gives us more to talk about)
