I’ll admit that I haven’t formed a headcanon my Charr guardian using the tomes that invoke the ideas of Charr culture. I’d always assumed that our character become inspired by the stories told of the Elonian people and chooses to channel them in their honor. However, if I had to come up with something for the history of the Charr, perhaps it would be something like this:
Totem of Justice: Maybe when Scorchrazor rose with the females to defeat the shamans of flame legion? In Charr eyes, weakness or foolishness is shunned on, so exacting payback or “justice” for the Flame Legion’s belief in the gods could work.
Totem of Resolve: A little harder to think of, but one that comes to mind is the declaration of not following a god anymore. This choice that affects the future Charr society need to have a determined and sure stance. I also can think of the charr’s desire to reclaim Ascalon from all manner of threats too. Ghost, flame legion, humans, etc.
Totem of Courage: Perhaps inspired by the Charr invasion when Charr first retook Ascalon from the humans? Courage is required in any fight, and I imagine first major scale attack would take more than average.
The examples for each tome are just ideas though. Even if a charr guardian follows the history, perhaps they can be inspired by other war bands of modern Tyria. Warbands that have resolve, courage, and justice are probably engraved into history even if they aren’t named by the player. Or the character could be inspired by the idea of legions themselves. The ideaologies of each legion are engraved into their culture, so perhaps the origins of each legions could be an inspiration.
Regardless, I love your norn spin on firebrand! Legends are a key part of a norn’s identity and culture. Hopefully my draft of the Charr firebrand ideologies are solid for this discussion. 📖
