There's also the dormancy factor... the mother doesn't necessarily have to become a nest keeper herself, or since there aren't any female nest keepers encountered (as far as I know in-game), the mother(s) could be exhibiting lesser symptoms: more human-like and capable but still influenced by the hive. The infant(s) could be born relatively 'normal' until the onset of puberty, or something.

In truth, I personally don't see there becoming 'tribes' of nest keepers in Pandyssia, but with it being a fantasy setting, such things could be possible.

Edit: I wouldn't discount 'common sense' so easily though. Too many fantasy elements make errors by NOT taking into account common sense, and it is there that many theorems fall apart.
