So while you could make the argument it says "almost" giving the idea your highland could theoretically come from someplace else. The initial homeland and culture of highlanders predates the founding of Ala Mhigo. This is why the facial features are scarificaiton. Now granted I agree that if on the creator it allows us to choose to scar the face or not, it implies these cultural things are optional therefor you should give the option of having eyebrows. But it is indeed the culture of all highlanders over 99% being from Ala Mhigo,
You stated that it's canon for the WoL to be Ala Mighan, which isn't the case. There's a difference between the general lore and history of Highlanders and applying it to a single character. I don't even think the shaved eyebrows is explained within the game itself. We just have a statement from a Q&A that was asked once upon a time to give a reason for it. Additionally, while it may be a cultural behavior, it's not a racial trait or genetic quality. It's a choice.
