Charr - The Lean, Mean Killing Machine

Charr - your everyday cat, but with more killing and half a body bigger than your average humans. Raised as warriors from birth, the main city of the Charr is the Black Citadel, locating at eastern Tyria.


Did you ask what kind of religion they have? 'What is religion? Is it edible?' No, really, they have abandoned the believes of religion and thrive to built their machines of steel.

Their government is made of five tiers. At the top of the food chain is the Khan-Ur, the commander of all Charr, with four High Legions under him. The four legions are : the Blood Legion, the Iron Legion, the Ash Legion, and the outcasts that relies on magic, the Flame Legion. Commanding the legions are the tribunes, with no more than 10 in each legion. Below the tribunes are centurions, who oversees the squadrons of warbands, a small squad made of no more than 5 Charr. Leading those warbands are legionnaires, and the lowest ones are the ones without a warband and no respect are the gladium. Poor them.

The most famous history of Charr is probably the great curse that turned Ascalon City in a gigantic ruin with all of its residents turned into ghosts. In 1090 AE, the Charr conquered every human city in the area, except for Ascalon City. They charged into Ascalon City without any problems due to the collapes of the Great Northern Wall. King Adelbern knew that they(the ascalonians) could not win against the Charr, and casted a curse with his magic sword Magdaer, the Foefire. The Foefire turned every human in Ascalon into ghosts, seeking revenge on the Charr.



Info from Guild Wars 2 Wiki

Fun Fact: The Black Citadel is built on the ruins of one of Ascalon's capitals, Rin. The ruins of Rin can been seen south west of the Black Citadel.
