    Maybe I missed this in hte MSQ, but from a purely lore stand point, hasnt SE already shot themselves in the foot with Hrothgar? We've pretty much seen every corner of the first that wasnt consumed by the flood. Unless theres some mysterious cave or far off island where every last female hrothgar is, Hrothgar as a race is screwed on the first. Seemingly so is the Viera because raktika is about the last bastion of their people in the wilds, and weve yet to see males. You would think with the world almost coming to an end and everything being obliterated, older norms wouldve gotten thrown out the window. Quite literally if your species is on its last legs, you dont disappear half your race based on sex in a cave or island never to be seen.

    These are unfortunate lore implications by having them gendered and the situation on the first. You could argue we dont see female hrothgar or male viera on the source for said lore reasons, but that argument gets a bit ludicrous on the 1st.

    Only way I can see them remedying this particular standpoint is to collapse the first completely. Meaning, despite our best efforts through 5.1 and forward, the first is absolutely doomed and can never be recovered and they evacuate the inhabitants of the first to the source somehow via the crystal tower. But thats a pretty ballsy story move - one I doubt theyd make.
