Miqo'te gender balance on the First

[Jandor]

The Mystel probably had a similar dynamic to the Moonkeepers on the Source. Females live in regular society, males kicked out to go adventuring.

When the flood came along and wiped most of civilization from the face of the world, a large amount of the city-dwelling females were wiped out along with it. The wandering males of the species were better equipped to escape and survive, and as a result the gender ratio of the species is temporarily much more even than it normally is.

Either that or someone on the dev team just really likes catbois and wanted to put loads of them in the game.

Probably not the case, as our two favorite Mystel from Eulmore provide us a clue. Family business, male inheritence, and all. Female Mystel may well 'run' the family behind the scenes, but they're not presented as a Matriarchy the way Keeper society is written on the Source.

Chai-Nuzz business was building golems out in the middle of nowhere though. The Mystel aren't presented as a matriarchy as such, but his business being out at some decently remote mining settlement meshes fine with the theory they had a society similar to the Moonkeepers.
Either way though, I'm not sure two modern Mystel can really tell us a great deal about what the Mystel were like roughly a century ago when the majority of the world was destroyed. Events like the flood of the light have a way of shaking things up

I'm assuming you're referring to Chai and Dulia as Eulmores favourite Mystel btw
