Viera Mating Rituals:Intro

Mating Rituals of the Viera

An account of data collected and complied for the behalf the Ivalician Society of Anthropology.

Introduction

Very little is known about the mysterious Viera race. Having little interest of the goings on of other races in Ivalice, they have always kept to themselves and have, for many centuries, remained secluded in the depths of the Golmore Jungle hardly ever venturing outside its old growth borders.

In resent years some Viera have ventured out of seclusion to live among the other humanoid races of Ivalice. But even so, little is known about them still, as they choose to remain rather tight lipped about themselves and their race. Very few outsiders know of their customs and those few also prefer to keep that knowledge to themselves.

One of the greatest mysteries of the Viera is how they breed. Though quite a few Female Viera have ventured from their solace of the forest glen, not one Male Viera has ever been seen out in the world of Man. Nor, for that mater, has anyone seen them in the depths of the jungle the Viera call home. No one in the history of all Ivalice has ever had the recollection of seeing a Male Viera. It easy for one to assume they don’t exist at all.

Early speculation suggested they reproduce asexually and are born form The Wood itself. However in resent years it has been discovered that the Viera Female Anatomy is almost identical to that of the Hume Female Anatomy. That is to say they have all of the same sexual organs in the same manner as Hume Females do, thus leading to the conclusion that they procreate in a similar capacity. But without Males it is hard to image how this could ever come about. So thus is the great mystery that is Viera mating and reproduction.

There are Female Viera that have taken Hume lovers but there has never been any documentation of a Viera becoming pregnant by a Hume nor any of there ever being a mixed race Viera/Hume child.

It seems this conundrum would remain an enigma for all time.

That is if not for the findings one man who has been enticed to share his knowledge.

He has asked that his name and identity be kept secret and shall only be known as B.B. His Viera source will also be a secret I am not compelled to indulge.

I assure you by my own reputation B.B. is a very reliable source of information and has been respected member of Arcadian Academic Society for many years.

He only wished to pass on this information as a charitable contribution to further the spread of knowledge and understanding.
