Guild Wars 2

Greetings to you!
I am one of the heads of the Charr Project: Live Citadel and found on the fan page Guildwars2-rp.de.
Unfortunately, there are relatively few things about the Charr that we can bring about the soldiers in experience as a role player and passionate charr player and therefore I have some questions written down.
These are the questions anyway spontaneously came to mind, and points that we consider as important.
Certainly questions will get added sooner or later.
We would simply interested in such things as:

1 How work the various Fahrar the legions?

2 How long is the training in Fahrar until the Charr can leave this as a recognized warband?

3. After 2 Weeks Charr cups can take solid food after 4 weeks follow their parents through difficult terrain already, but how long it takes before they learn to talk?

4. Is there a fixed place of ash legion such as the black citadel or keep them on the basis of secrecy it similar to the Order of Whispers, or even pull the life of a nomad before?
Would be nice to know because my guild, for example, embodies an Ashes squad

These are, as already mentioned a few issues that are spontaneously occurred to us as role players for the Charr and yet we would be happy if they would perhaps even be heard at Ree Soesbee.

In this sense,

Tanks and greetings from germany

I’m sorry about my English terms.
It is certainly a bit rusty after my time at school.

1. I don’t believe there is a stated difference between the fahrar of the different legions. I’d bet that the differences depend on the teacher of a fahrar more than the legion itself. Different Charr have different ideals of what’s important to the development of the best soldiers, but likely they all are similar to what young Spartan boys dealt with.

2. The training in the Fahrar starts when they are separated from their parents and ends when they are trained and organized to fight on the battlefield. This is likely after they reach adolescence. Their warband is made up of their classmates.

3. This is another fact I don’t think is ever stated. If you ask my opinion, I think Charr cubs are able to walk hours after birth. Likely, they are only able to walk on all four legs though and learn to walk on two legs weeks later after watching their parent.

4. I’m not sure. It would make sense though that the Ash Legion moves their base freely so you cannot easily pinpoint them. I’m unsure.

I don’t think legions have their own fahrars. I believe that the Charr fahrar warband chooses which legion they’ll join when they are old enough to join one.

For instance, your home barracks has a section for each of the three legions, with the fahrar being its own thing.

Its not that there is a Ash Fahrar or a Iron Fahrar. There is just the Fahrar.

1. Fahrars are in fact linked to a legion, cubs are always sent to a fahrar of their parent’s legion. In the case of parents being from two different legions I suppose it’s up to them where the cub is sent.

2. I’m not sure it’s ever stated anywhere just how long cubs train in the fahrar before “graduating” to full warband status. They become competent fairly quickly after birth we know, but that trend could fall off and they could have comparatively long childhoods. Honestly I’m not even sure it’s ever stated anywhere just how long a charr’s lifespan is. Really, fahrar training could be as little as a year or over a decade.

3. I recall overhearing some npc cubs trading stories of who’s pre-fahrar upbringing was tougher. One cub mentions she was born in the Brand and the fighting there was so intense that she wasn’t able to be sent to a fahrar for six months. This implies that charr are ready for fahrar training in at least six months after birth. And since I rather doubt they start training before the cubs can even speak, I’d say charr cubs learn to speak before they’re six months old.

4. Unfortunately there’s next to nothing known about the Ash legion controlled lands other than they are not labeled on the GW2 map nor referenced anywhere other than their inferred existence due to each high legion being said to control territory of their own. Personally I believe the Ash legion’s lands to be to the east/northeast of Ascalon as the Blood legion’s lands are to the north of Ascalon. I also suppose it’s entirely possible that the Ash legion has forgone running it’s own territory altogether and instead operates cooperatively or secretively within the other legions territories.

Hah, I read the OP’s question wrong. For some reason, I saw ‘walk’ instead of ‘talk’.

That being said, you don’t have to be able to speak to be trained. Human infants start training the instant outside stimuli is introduced. It’s not battle training, but there’s more to the development of a sentient minded Charr than fighting.

I would wager, just like humans, Charr cubs don’t start speaking new Krytan for years after their birth. As infant cubs in the fahrar, they likely act more like infant animals that spend most of their time playing and sleeping. Their training likely consists of foraging around wooded areas and social/basic lessons like who they are, what they believe in, proper use of clothes, weapons, what is good or offensive, where to poop/pee, how to keep themselves clean, and over a couple of years, pick up language just like a human would.

I think the only race that might pick up language abnormally early is the Asura, but that’s only a guess. All the young individuals of the presented races are all likely over 5 years old so anything earlier in their development is unknown. I see no particular reason Charr cubs would gain quick linguistic skills when their race doesn’t naturally speak New Krytan.

Ok so I’m going to answer this to the best of my understanding but I am no way an expert.

1. Each legion has a their own Fahrar or set of Fahrars, in various locations. Because of legions act independently to each other and old separate territories, each legion holds their own homesteads, its hard to tell where they may be. Each fahrar teaches their cubs tactics and military strategy based on the expertise of their legion. The cubs are set into separate warband groups that they are raised in. These groups are headed by an adult charr of the respective legion. This adult dedicates themselves to that particular group until their maturity.

2. It depends. There’s no set timespan for a charr’s fahrar life. They are taken to the fahrar once they are weaned off their mother and stay there until the teacher of the warband group determines that they are mature enough, and to no longer requires supervision or training. Whether this determination is made soon or later in the charr’s life is irrelevant. There’s no defined age of maturity for a charr.

3. Don’t really know that one…Charr are born fully furred, open eyed, and with functional limbs, but I assume speech depends on the individual charr. I imagine it is within the first year, before they are taken to the fahrar.

4. As stated before, the legions are all historically separate government bodies. The dragons have forced the 3 “main” legions to work together giving the illusion of unity, but under normal circumstances they stand divided. All the legions hold their own land and fortifications. Where the Ash Legion in particular hold territory is hard to tell, and I’m not even sure if its ever been mentioned. Maybe someone who has done the Ash storyline can shine some light on that one?

Hope this helped

Thanks for all the response, but at the moment it looks like als the answers i already known by myself.

But thanks to you all ^^

Ash Legion territory is around the Ebonhawk lands. We can only infer it is further east off map in the Fields of Ruin, but it is mentioned as bordering the Crystal Desert.

Pretty fitting we don’t have an exact location on the Ash Legion homelands. They’re sneaky.
