Role Play Information

Appearance and etiquette is extremely important to the Seanchan. They use their appearance as a way to visualize ranking and standing and indicate how one is to behave in the presence of another. It is therefore essential that the rules of propriety concerning one's appearance are obeyed at all times.

Hair or no hair, that is the question

The visualization of which person you are dealing with all starts on the head. Depending on the status, rank and importance of the person, their hairdo will be different.

Damn it, I broke a nail!
