Guild Wars 2

I was really dissapointed to find that, regardless of Legion, all charr start out in the Black Citadel—capital of Iron Legion. While Iron Legion and its culture seem to get a lot of focus, Blood and Ash don’t get enough. And even Iron could use more detail.

For example, Blood Legion is deeply traditional. They value oldschool battlefield combat, which has been used for thousands of years. Wouldn’t that make them more conservative then others, and more likely to value the past? Plus Balthea Havokbringer, Pyre Fierceshot, and Kalla Scorchrazor were all Bloodies—and Blood was the first Legion to offer female charr equality. So this could also effect Blood outlook.

I don’t know much about Ash Legion, and that’s another problem. Since they’re the “spies”, they can get away with being sneaky and not having as much open information. But I’d still like to know more about them culturally and such.

What do you think? Do the cultural differences between the Charr (especially for Blood and Ash) need more attention?

While Black Citadel is the Iron Legion capital, it always felt more like a city all three legions shared and technically it is the front lines, that’s why any active charr would be there. As for culture, yes, I would of liked to know more.

Probably going to see more of those in future expansions. Blood and Ash are based in different territories – Blood to the north, if I recall correctly, and Ash across the Blazeridge Mountains to the east?

Talk to NPCs in the higher-level charr zones. There’s a fair amount of interesting dialogue to be seen.

If you look at the world map, you can see the Blood Legion Homelands to the North East, so definitely expect more focus on them in future content, and very little to do with Iron Legion in the future.

I personally expect another civil war between Blood and Iron legion over the Claw of the Khan-ur and dominat leadership over the four(maybe even see the Gold/Flame legion reunited) legions.

I would say Blood and Iron get the most attention. Ash doesnt get a ton of it, but thats commonly how it is. They dont leave you completely in the dark, but they dont tell you a ton either. Blood gets a lot because they are the front line fighters, berserkers, and usually what you think of when you think “Charr”. The second thing you think of is brutal warriors with awesome steampunk swords, and GUNS. While they ride on WAR MACHINES and conquer everything in your path.
The thing you dont think of is that strange cat thing you saw, too big and different, but thats not the topic, the topic is war! Thats when you get stabbed in the back, hear the cackle, and see your allies get shot and slashed down.
