The warrior's tail

[Farseer]

But what does a warrior's tail look like, exactly? Is it just a simple pony tail or a topknot? Are the sides shaved?

Have added it to my subject bar but, just in case...***TAWNY MAN SPOILERS BELOW***


Since my husband refused to read any further than the first couple of chapters of 'Fool's Errand', I have been reading it to him at every available opportunity, to try and get him so interested in events that he will just have to continue on...!

With this in mind, I have just gone back over the section where Fitz had pulled out Verity's sword in preparation for his return to Buckkeep. Hap had told Fitz he would also need to cut his long hair but, instead, Fitz "pulled it to the back of my head and fastened it into a warrior's tail". In this there is definitely no mention of shaving or other prior preparation etc. Even with Hap's limited experience in life, he still knew that this style was worn only by those within the military.
