Why do the qunari paint themselves?
Such decoration seems out of character for such a highly utilitarian culture.
Perhaps it has some religious or spiritual purpose?
According to the codex article "Tal-Vashoth" by Brother Genitivi, "Vashoth", the name for qunari who leave the Qun, literally means "gray ones". Gray seems to be the predominant skin color for the horned "qunari-race" or the kossith.
I would assume this means that all qunari paint themselves, only stopping the practice if they leave the Qun, thus "becoming" a "gray one". It seems strange that the Qunari vilify their natural skin tone so, are they self-loathers?
Tal-Vashoth, or "the true gray ones", are said to "revel in chaos". Do qunari believe that the natural state of life is chaos?
