Where are all of the male Keepers of the Moon?

[Tanama]

I've recently returned from a long break and was looking to start new as a Keeper of the Moon. But running through Gridania and the Shroud, I've not spotted a single NPC male Keeper. I am aware of the Couerl King but I would imagine that more male Keepers NPCs would have been around after the calamity.

Are male miqote -that- rare?


I am contemplating to play one of these three scenarios:

1. Male Keeper of the Moon rebelling against the traditional Keeper lifestyle, heading out on his own.
   
2. Male Seeker of the Sun traveling to the Shroud to start his combat training as an adventurer.
   
3. Female Keeper of the Moon starting her life as an adventurer in the Shroud.

According to the lore that I've found in game, male Keepers are wanderers and never really stay in one place for very long. Hence why you don't see any as NPCs in any one place.

There are a few... but in general male miqo are rare.

But yeah, make Keepers are more nomadic than the rest, is what I got from the lore and everything.

[Fenral]

I think male Keepers are just smarter than male Seekers.

They stay moving because they've already figured out that an ancient curse causes horrible things to happen to male Miqo'te who hang around in one place outside their clan for too long...

As other's have said they live apart from the rest of the females, traveling from clan to clan and having sexual relations with some of the members until it time to go again and if you did the mog delivery quests they do mention that this is a preferable set up for both. And that sleeping with only one man is very taboo/unnatural for female keepers to do.

Otherwise, the're relegated to nameless background npcs: Lominsa Calamity salvager, crystal brave member, that drunk in buscaroon druthers.

Or evil people: Couerl King and the guy in a certain quest

I feel sorry for the Couerlclaws, they're all essentially being exploited by the King, but they don't have anywhere else to turn too, given that they often forced, either by him or circumstance, to kill a Wood Wailer, and correspondingly be cut off from society in general. And Gridanian society is already xenophobic as it is, for Keepers and Duskwights, although it does often seem worse for the latter.

I'm kinda hoping not all of them are in his harem, given there's a second settlement of Couerlclaws on the other side of South Shroud led by Yabi Twotails.

I'm also hoping she's going to kick his ass at some point.

But yeah just in general NPC representation of Male Keepers has been dire, all the named ones are villains.

Given that Yabi's troupe still call themselves Coeurlclaws, chances are pretty good that they answer to the Coeurl King. She's most likely a just a higher ranking lieutenant. Given what we've seen of the Coeurl King's personality, he's pretty egocentric. He wouldn't take kindly to a second group of thieves calling themselves by his gang's name - and in the same zone, no less!

I'm actually expecting them to turn out to be brother and sister and the whole thing being a second-generation leadership split or something along those lines.
