Ascalon
The charr raise the Black Citadel
1112 AE1,622 CC1,312 DRFirm date
The charr erect the Black Citadel over the ruins of Rin, the old Ascalonian capital, making the conquered land the heart of charr power in the region.
In 1112 AE the charr built the Black Citadel atop the ruins of Rin, an ancient Ascalonian city. Forged of iron and stone, the citadel became the seat of the Iron Legion and a monument to the charr triumph over the human kingdom that had once ruled these lands.
The Black Citadel would stand through the Guild Wars 2 era as the capital of the charr in Ascalon, its construction a deliberate statement of permanence built directly over the bones of the conquered.
