Thats just lazy as all heck. If its glossed over that easily and the males; who have previously did their thing separated from the Females, just suddenly decided to act like the females...why didnt this happen sooner, if not exactly at the same time as the females? If this is the lore and justification to it after...however long, its nothing short of just lazy.
It would be a real bloody shame if thats all we get to this big mysterious Male Viera that people want so badly.

On the other hand, being born from a Woman that fled the Wood and as such was recruited by a Warden
See, thats a "Real" idea would at least offer something.
But it only mentions that one Male Viera. The game recognizes every player character outside of the MC on your screen as an Adventurer. So if/when we see loads of Male Viera running around, the game will count them as another adventure. Its not asking much to just expand on and make mention that Now Male Viera have joined the outside world.

Instead of a lazy half-cocked gloss over that makes you ask "Why was it written this way?"
