![]() ![]() Reason: Add summaries of Flame Legion plots from early charr personal story. ![]() Since the Battle of the Plains of Golghein, charr society was directed away from magic and towards misotheism and technocracy, leaving the Flame Legion maligned. Within the safety of their headquarters in the Citadel of Flame, the Flame Legion began rebuilding its strength so it could one day subdue the rebellious High Legions under its rule once again. ![]() Escape was possible primarily because the other three legions were so focused on rebuilding their internal hierarchies after generations of Flame Legion control. Once the Flame Legion's hold was broken, the shamans and their followers fled into the Blazeridge Mountains to lick their wounds. However, the Flame Legion imperator was so ashamed of his defeat that he stabbed Kalla with a poisoned dagger during his surrender he was executed shortly after by Iron Legion imperator Forge Ironstrike for his treachery. The Flame Legion, who had not included females in their ranks, were overwhelmed and agreed to a surrender. Still, the Flame Legion was powerful enough to hold its own, and the chances of victory for the other legions were looking slim until Kalla Scorchrazor, a female charr who had been training in secret, added her female forces to the other legions', effectively doubling their number. In 1116 AE, the rebellion which Pyre Fierceshot had begun finally bore fruit when the three High Legions faced the shaman caste in battle on the Plains of Golghein. The Flame Legion imperator at the time, who had ignored the warnings of the Fireshadows about King Adelbern's plans, lost his life and the Claw of the Khan-Ur during the assault on Ascalon City on the eve of the Foefire and had his name struck from history records because of his failure. The authority of the Flame Legion was dealt another blow in 1090 AE when the Foefire weakened their grip on Ascalon. However, the destroyers were summarily shown to be false too by Pyre Fierceshot and Gwen "the Goremonger" who defeated them and the hierophant. When the Great Destroyer, herald of the Elder Dragon Primordus, awoke in 1078 AE, Hierophant Burntsoul chose the destroyers as the new gods of the charr. With the titans deposed, the superstitious Flame Legion sought other beings of power to hold up as gods. However, the shamans were humiliated as their gods were killed in front of them by a group of adventurers serving the dragon Glint in 1072 AE. When Vizier Khilbron released the titans from their prison behind the Door of Komalie and sent them across the continent, fulfilling the Flameseeker Prophecies, the Flame Legion looked poised to finally reclaim Ascalon. The charr moved south and west to conquer the other kingdoms with the Flame Legion's imperator Ventus leading the assault on Orr were it not for the timely rise of the White Mantle in Kryta and the Cataclysm which sunk Orr, the charr would have come to dominate the entire surface of Tyria. In 1070 AE, the Flame Legion, led by Bonfaaz Burntfur, brought down the Searing on Ascalon with titan magic, destroying the Northern Wall and allowing the charr to seize the human kingdom. After that, females from the Blood Legion were no longer allowed on the battlefield, and in time, this followed for females of all Legions. When a Blood Legion soldier, Bathea Havocbringer, rebelled, she was killed as a sacrifice to the charr's new gods. In time, the shaman caste came to be the ruling class of the charr, and worshipped the titans. The titans offered the charr magic in exchange for worship, and the Flame Legion gladly obliged. On an expedition to Hrangmer, the Burnt warband of the Flame Legion discovered the titans, fiery servants of the deposed god Abaddon, although the charr were not to know that. The Flame Legion did not secure its dominance until roughly 850 AE, almost a millennium after the charr had been pushed from Ascalon by human magic. They make far more use of magic than the other legions, and their shaman caste once dominated the charr.Īfter the assassination of the last Khan-Ur, the Flame Legion, like the other High Legions, was founded by one of his direct descendants. The Flame Legion has its own distinct culture, one that is notably more superstitious and misogynistic than the other High Legions. ![]() Reason: Expand lore on Flame Legion culture.
