"How can you call head-hunting evil ? This is traditional and orthodox but not evil. Some of us take pride in keeping trophies, like Lunar heads and stuff. But we won't do evil rituals with them. We just show them to our relatives and friends. We don't use them to frighten you or something. Indeed this would be rather foolish in the case of my cousin who owns 23 heads (family heirloom). How do you think should he carry them to battle ? With a cart ? Be assured there is nothing evil about head-hunting." Artogg, the Headhunter, Varmand clan
And now a bit seriously : I really believe that Lunars and Orlanthi do this standard stuff. Imagine standing infront of the battalion who killed the Red Emperor and whose head is on a pike and below is a blue flag with the signs of storm and death. Would you charge if they even got the Red Emperor ?
