Charr player's Warband Responsibilities?
You don’t get a letter as a charr player.
Also Rytlok is a very high ranked charr and therefor has certain duties. He probably has told his legion that he wont do his work for a longer timeframe (or even never again). It appears that the legions want him to return to his work/don’t want to replace him.
It’s work with the Orders that we leave the warband for, and we don’t leave the Orders, just the Pact.
It does not come up for Whisper charr, but it may for Vigil charr. Or it may be a huge oversight that didn’t get mentioned.
Unfortunately I don’t think it will get mentioned because now the storyline is so unified, and the way they set up the story journal seems to be no longer able to do story splits like the PS was without massive bugs in replaying the content.
@Tornupto: When we leave the charr story, for some reason (never explained to us), we’re Centurion rank. The only rank higher available to most is Tribune and the situation-based Primus Centurion. So we’re fairly high ranked too. Then again, there aren’t many ranks in charr society…. soldier, legionnaire, centurion, primus centurion, tribune, imperator, Khan-Ur aka primus imperator.

Technically, we are on a long term assignment to the three Orders and not the Pact. Also, I would like to think we are given some degree of leeway in that we are the ones that killed two Elder Dragons.
Rytlock is higher ranked, and the highest ranking Blood Legion soldier at the Black Citadel. He was also MIA to the High Legions after that ritual to destroy the ghosts, so it is not surprising that he keeps getting summons.

The real question is who keeps sending those summons. Is it Smodur, or could it possibly be the unseen Blood Legion Imperator? I’m pretty sure Rytlock would talk with Smodur, the Imperator seems to have a good head on his shoulders and being understanding. But the way Rytlock brushes off those summons, it would have to be from somebody he really doesn’t like.

It could be from his warband. We know he doesn’t like them. But he doesn’t seem to really like higher authority in general.
Also, if the charr PC is given leeway because he killed two Elder Dragons, then so would Rytlock who was part of the groups that killed both Elder Dragons.

Given that the summons is coming from the Black Citadel, it shouldn’t be from the Blood Legion Imperator. And he’s apparently the one in charge of his warband, they wouldn’t have the authority to try to summon him.
I’m 90% sure it has to be from Smodur, or Rytlock’s Black Citadel counterparts in Iron and Ash Legion. Those three are pretty much the only ones there with the authority to even try it.
The problem is, he’s actually on pretty good terms with all three of them. So, why did he react as he did? In another thread, I suggested that he’s actually blind now, and while he can use his new powers to navigate the world around him, he can’t actually read the message. He crumples it up and throws it away so nobody will expect him to try. And if he returns to his station, his blindness will be quickly discovered. He’d be deemed unfit for active duty, and retired. I think that actually scares him, and that’s part of the reason why he quickly suggested forming a new guild for him to belong to.
[Edit] As for the player? I kind of assume that they visit home every now and then, check in, do paperwork and whatever else they need to do. That would be very boring to have to play out, though, so it happens “off camera”. But still, if you feel bad, visit your home instance. (Just wish my warband was in there.)

If he was blind, I’m pretty sure he would have told our PC this at some point by now. He may have his pride, but I think he trusts us enough to actually confide that in us. It could also be that the summons have been asking something incredibly specific of him, something he’s not willing to go through with. A guess would be giving his title of Tribune to somebody else, or a repeat of trying to rid them of the ghosts of ascalon. It could also just be them saying “Come do your paperwork,” and we KNOW how much Rytlock hates that.

It actually could be Bangar (Blood Imperator), if the message was sent to the Black Citadel who relayed it because Bangar, being off in the east, doesn’t know of Rytlock’s situation – just that he hasn’t reported in for some time.
It could be his warband – you don’t need to be a higher or equal authority to send a letter telling your superior officer “Sir, you should get your kitten back to doing your job” after all.
And it could be the other Blood tribune at the Black Citadel – Fierhan Sparwind – who would be literally swamped with double the paperwork for a full year now.
Then as more commonly speculated, it could be Smodur, or the three other Tribunes (2 ash, 1 iron) stationed at the Black Citadel.

Wait a minute. I forget… Did we leave the pact, or just refuse to be marshall of the pact?
We refused to be marshall, Almorra took that as our resignation, and we went along with the idea. Apparently we’re out altogether now.

Now that we are no longer in pact we can have more story of orders.
Maybe order missions. I like the idea of daily order missions. Whispers give sneaky staff, in priory you researching ruins and artifacts and vigil is maybe killing dragon minions or something. I never liked pact. Personal story become boring after order story.

This, and bring back the earlier race characters, such as the AWOL father for the Charr if you let him escape, that sylvari who wasn’t from the Pale Tree but was from a different tree, etc.

I would definitely be up for a second round of race-specific missions. The only problem is that the race-specific missions were done through the specific DE member for your race, and of those, one’s dead, and two are non-responsive, so they would need to change who they use as the contact person. They could just go completely freelance, and have random people come up with stuff that needs doing. They could even tie this into the metaplot, by having these missions point to whatever is going on next with the white mantle/primordus.
Doing order missions is pretty much doing pact missions, because they are pretty much all in with the pact. They may run missions without direct involvement from the other orders, but it would all go back to the pact in the end. I don’t see that being an option for us, as that would be a huge demotion from being commander.
