    Hell, I didn't notice Raubhan's lack of eyebrows for months. One of my friends didn't notice mine until I pointed it out. I like it though, it's a little different but it works. I do hope they do something about the "got into the Black Mage's makeup drawer" eyebrow option so it looks less goofy so that people who want their Highlander men to have eyebrows don't have to paint them on with a mop, though.
    The lack of eyebrows is not a natural racial trait. They aren't born that way. It's specifically stated that they just shave them to appear more intimidating. But there's no lore beyond that, which is why there's no reason to stick to it.
