Why do the scions have neck tattoos?

[Alleluia]

Just throwing out there that an example of an Archon unrelated to Louisoix's Circle of Knowing or the Scions of the 7th Dawn would be G'raha. He has the neck tattoo of an Archon, presumably for expertise in Allagan history, but was only ("only") a Student of Baldesion as far as affiliations went.

There's also Rammbroes, the leader of the Sons of Saint Coinach, who has the Archon tattoo on the top of his head.

He works with the Scions, but doesn't appear to be an official member of the organization.

It said in that page Moose linked that Rammbroes was a former member of the Circle of Knowing. And Gamerescape says he was one of the founding members. I feel like I passed out during a conversation to have missed that? lol Either that or its 1.0 information?

I think it got touched on at some point. Maybe not spelt out, but suggested that he has history with them - or perhaps I'm extrapolating from the fact he knows Y'mhitra and Cid.

Could have been in the SMN questline, CT or the string of sidequests around St Coinach's. I think that's all the dealings we've had with him (besides briefly in the 50-60 ALC quests).

I don't know where it's said in-game, but the lorebook EE1 says that Rammbroes is a founding member of the Circle of Knowing, yes. (Page 200.)

Also according to that Gamerscape page, he was in charge of achievements under the 'Character' category, because back in 1.x the different categories had their own achievement NPCs, so it didnt seem like he had any story involvement.

Ah. Thank you.

They're pretty gaudy, and that's all I'll say about 'em.
