This is a feeling but I suspect that the real bad guys occasionally 'cull' these villages to keep the numbers of human vermin on the planet down to manageable numbers. I've got a feeling that our heroes will find themselves (possibly against orders) saving one of those villages in the future.

RWBY and JNPR as The Magnificent Eight or The Eight Hunters? It is a classic tale after all, with many incarnations in different cultures. If there is one thing that RWBY has lots of, it is allusions to classic tales like The Seven Samurai.
