Sunseekers: Ways to become nunh other than the listed ones?

[Soukyuu]

I doubt it would come to old age... a tia would have challenged him by then. But if it's unexpected like a hunting accident, then the idea of a championship sounds likely to me. Actually probably more of a free-for-all melee than anything as organized as a championship...

If a tribe completely ran out of males? Sounds like an opportunity for a tia from another tribe to come in and become a nunh of his own without worrying about enough females following him.

Interesting, missed that post (they should add a lore tracker!) Though for a tia to be accepted by females, he'd have to be tested somehow, I guess that's my real question: What kind of a test does a tia have to pass to become a nunh, if there is no nunh to defeat? Fern's example of maintaining new territory for their tribe is one thing I guess.

Pretty sure it was stated that Nunh rarely become leaders, and I think this includes leaders in combat. Even though the Nunh is the strongest of the tribe, I doubt they'd put their best breeding male in any sort of danger. Perhaps one of the perks of being a Nunh is that you don't have to risk yourself as often, but it also means others tend to surpass you because they aren't sitting around. After a couple of years or so the Nunh is challenged and overcome, resulting in a healthy rotation of breeding males.

Eh, I'd say having to defend against wannabe-nunh (aka tia) all the time keeps them in shape AND is enough of a danger, since losing doesn't just mean you will lose your title and become a tia again, but could also cost you your life.

So I don't think they're that sheltered. Also, you don't really have to be a leader to participate in combat. And you could also die by stumbling and breaking your neck :P

Good point, and I'm sure the Nunh would probably train to defend himself. Obviously he's among the strongest males for a while if he can overcome the previous Nunh.

I am curious about what would happen if a Nunh leaves for any reason. It'd be a rare case (who would willingly abandon a lifestyle with a free harem?) but if any Adventurers are to become Nunhs you have to wonder what they'd leave behind. And no, I don't expect to gain access to a harem just by naming myself "Nunh" so there has to be an explanation for why we never see our tribe.
