The warrior's tail

[Bink]

from what i recall, different trades were sometimes marked by their hairstyles.

i don't remember exactly what it is, but scribes had their own hairstyle or means of identification.

i always taken the warrior's tail to be a regular pony tail. this is particularly reinforced to me as i used to play mmorpgs and world of warcraft had a charatcer choice which is exactly like a pony tail on a muscular frame.
