Charr

The Charr are one of the most diverse species in Tyria. Native to Ascalon they are the dominant species in the area. To see a list of Charr in the Bestiary have a look at the Charr category.

Culture
Like Humans, the Charr have a complex culture, posessing experts in all of the six professions. They worship a god of fire, to which they build impressive flaming monuments. These monuments are said to give the Charr increased power, and are guarded by Charr Flame Callers.

The Charr are responsible for the demise of the Kingdom of Ascalon and indirectly responsible for the destruction of the Nation of Orr. The Charr were able to use powerful magic to tear apart the Great Northern Wall which seperated the peaceful residential area of Ascalon in the south from the Charr controlled territories to the north. This event is commonly reffered to as The Searing. Following the Searing the Charr were able to march even further South to Orr.

Post-Searing the Charr have become the dominant race in Ascalon restricting Humans to small settlements, even to the South of the Great Northern Wall.

At around the same time as the Searing the Charr also invaded the Kingdom of Kryta, but with less success; while initially the Charr made progress into Krytan territory they were defeated by an organisation lead by Saul D'Alessio later referred to as the White Mantle.
