^That is not the mental image I got from the Dramaturge and Matsuno's twitter dump, but it's cute so I'll take it.

I had imagined male viera mistreating children and forcing them to assassinate monsters and it appears we got cute children being raised in apparently pretty lovable manners by a couple/a group of male vieras, which his far from what I imagined. Maybe it's one of those lore retcons that're gonna happen in EW to support male viera playable (?)

Additive retcon: the Dramaturge only knows what he's heard from the few females willing to speak with him on the subject, and they only know the stories their mothers told them to keep them from misbehaving. In actuality, males form a sort a roaming conclave, sleep in the boughs of trees, and live out days of solidarity and brotherhood much like their sisters in the villages, leaving behind no traces of their passage.


(This is head canon, but I think it describes the image above.)

I think its prettttyyyyy likely that the lore is gonna be 'The dramaturge doesn't know everything, he got some things wrong' and that's gonna be it tbh, so your head cannon is pretty plausible imo

It actually makes more sense, since you don't want one person guarding one spot full-time. By having small "family units" acting like a group, you can have a rotating guard keeping watch at all times, with chance for healthy downtime. Plus, should anything DEFEAT a male, the others would be there as either back-up, or raise the alarm and get reinforcements.
