Real Talk: Highlanders need eyebrows

[Prestige]

I understand that they may have shaved off their eyebrows to look more intimidating in war, but that should be an option. Since they are shaved off and not missing due to biological reasons, my specific Highlander doesn't want to shave his off.

In the end, isn't that what character creation is all about - Tailoring a character to your specific likes?

[DarkmoonVael]

I wouldn't mind if they retconned that chunk of lore, honestly.

edit - if it's even accurate and not made up by some fans.

True, i would like eyebrows on my character as well

Another tough 15 minutes of googling and I found something:

Why don’t male highlanders have eyebrows?
Fernehalwes: It’s a battle tactic to confuse/psych out opponent.

Maybe there'd be a more fleshed out explanation in the lore panel stream itself?

Now this was before Au Ra, I do think giving Au Ra the option is a game changer.

Yeah, here's hoping that Highlanders get to have eyebrows that you can toggle on/off. They did it for the Au Ra males, they can do it for Highlanders.

As for lore? Ala Mhigo is no more so any of the new generation/ those who want to fit in can leave their eyebrows intact.

Yeah, there is that fake eyebrow face paint we can use, but not only is is too thick to the point of it looking unnatural, the choice of colors are very limited

[CGMidlander]

It's to give them a tougher look.

Hard to argue with that.

Ala Mhigo is still there, man.
And many people are hoping to take it back one day.

That explanation doesn't even make sense. Even if it was a tactic, not every single highlander would use it. This is even more reason why no eyebrow should be an option, and not forced.

My highlander doesn't give a crap about Ala Mhigo, so there, no reason for him to shave his eyebrows. We need eyebrows... No more dumb excuses.
