FemHroths? Yeah, idk. The only one I recall (from MSQ and only heavily assumed to be a Hroth) is dead. They're doomed.
Female Hrothgar were referenced a few times as I recall... but every time they talked about one, they said that she was dead.

Male Viera were also referenced on the First. They do still exist, but in smaller numbers as many died trying to defend their settlements from the flood of light. Which does leave open the idea that males on the First were not explicitly kept out of the villages like they were on the Source, but now aren't there as they're trying to protect the females in the villages, and many have died. We also can imply on the First that there simply aren't enough males for this job since when we enter that part of the Raktika Greatwood, we aren't stopped by males, but by a pack of female viera. This does not line up with the lore of the race that we knew on Ivalice.
