In the days before the Gods of Tyria brought the humans to Tyria, the Charr battled with the Forgotten in the Blazeridge Mountains. Long after the Forgotten stopped threatening the Charr, the humans appeared and, with the help of their Gods, pushed the Charr from their southern borders, conquering the land that became known as Ascalon in 100 BE. Along with being pushed back, the Khan-Ur was assassinated, preventing any hope the Charr had to retake their lands. The death of the Khan-Ur caused a schism among its four children, who became known as imperators, and brought the establishment of the High Legions - the Ash Legion, the Blood Legion, the Flame Legion, and the Iron Legion.
I don't understand all of the hate, Charr didn't do anything to the Humans that wasn't deserved.

History Lesson
Basically; Charr fought the Forgotten, Charr had "Ascalon" before it even existed, but Humans were jerks and stole the lands and killed the Charr's Emperor..
And that's why, the Charr retaliated with the ritual of the Searing..
Ahh!! I couldn't disagree more! While I don't live in that culture or would want to I love the Roman Legion feel. But then again I'm a history major and love Rome.. so go figure.I love the look of the Charr, character models and architecture. Can't stand their drill sergeant, constant "I'm more b.a. than you" cultural attitude.
The Norn "get drunk and kill woodland creatures for glory" is almost as bad, but without the cool design. Male Norn just look silly to me.
Surprisingly to me, the answer was plant people. I expected more hippy, tree-huggy, but was thrilled to find sidhe courts and an Arthurian vibe to the story. Add to that some wonderful character models and bio-luminescense and I'm hooked on Sylvari.

Again, the Norse culture is fascinating. Think a little Beowolf and you're there. Or better yet, How To Train Your Dragon. Fitting since we're trying to "tame" dragons!
I think most people were pleasantly surprised with the Sylvari because they thought they were an Elf spin-off. When they released that the Sylvari are more about discovery and balance rather than nature and elves it finally solidified the paradigm shift. I love the Sylvari and can't wait to see their story unfold. And again, they have their touch in history that I absolutely love.
