Just curious before I start tossing about some head cannon in my little circle of RP friends.
Q: Why don't male Highlanders have eyebrows?
MCKF: There is a reason. Highlanders are a very violent group of people. Their clan is always warring amongst each other and against the Midlanders as well back in their homelands. They like battle. They fight and the women fight and their children fight, because that's their culture. When you have this culture of everybody being able to fight, it's all about getting the one-up on your opponent. Everyone's good with a sword or a club or whatever, so you need something extra. Everyone expects their opponent to have eyebrows. So if someone goes into battle and your opponent doesn't have eyebrows, it psychs you out and your head gets chopped off. Different tribes have their different rituals but one of those rituals is shaving off the eyebrows to put fear into your opponent.
Q: So they do have eyebrows, they just shave them off?
MCKF: Yeah, it's not a genetic thing. They shave them off or they give themselves scars or pull out their teeth. Things like that to make them look more imposing.
We have nothing specific ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Well there's the Sharlayan/Circle of Knowing tattoo, but besides that? I don't know of anything else. I'd imagine it is just... clan specific stuff? I'm personally also waiting out to see if we can get more info on (highlander) clans and their bodymodification in a more specific fashion.
