Turns out that being a minimum-height male Miqo'te means there are certain details that can appear in places I would never think to check.

Pfffbwahaha. Nice find.

I don't quite understand what you mean about the rest, though. Moenbryda was quite clearly a member of the Circle of Knowing, no? Nabriales calls her such (indirectly in English), she a long-standing companionship with Urianger (Louisoix's protege), and a big part of her death dealt the resolution of how she felt that Louisoix had in some way abandoned her by going to his death unannounced. Even if the tattoo ends up referring primarily to a larger group that the Circle of Knowing had a schism with, I'm fairly confident sure she was Circle.

Likewise, now that we know Rammbroes indeed has a tattoo, it's not so strange that G'raha does. The elder, more experienced one of the two lacking it I would have found strange. Now, not so much. I'm not sure if they were Circle or part of the possible larger group, but if the case is the former, I assume they were just assigned to different areas for different reasons than the rest.

While I could make up excuses all day, though, don't forget the main reason SE gives people the Circle of Knowing tattoo: simply to let you know that someone is legit. It's an effortless way to imply a specific backstory without wasting time actually telling it.
