    Fun fact! The Hildebrand quests lines were originally created to see what they could do with their facial animation suite for cinematics. They absolutely went ham, and thus the Agent of Inquiry was born.

    Jesse, there's a reason it's a "Cat-Girl Town". Miqo Seekers of the Sun live in patriarchal communities inhabited by one alpha male, the "Nunh", his mates and daughters. Occasionally an immature or unsuccessful challenger male will live there too, they have the "Tia" addition to their names. But only the Nunh is allowed to father children.
    Keepers of the Moon Miqo's don't do this, iirc they're actually a matriarchal society.

    • @KnTenshi2
      @KnTenshi2 3 года назад +7

      Yep, in fact, they are so matriarchal that boys don't even get real names - just names that mean "first son of ", "second son of ", etc.
      E.G. a Keeper of the Moon lady named "Okhi Nbolo"'s firstborn son would be named "Okhi’a Nbolo", her next born son would be named "Okhi’to Nbolo". Her daughters would get unique given names, such as "Sizha Nbolo" or "Cemi Nbolo".
