Khan-Ur
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
| The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Khan-Ur. |
Khan-Ur, or the primus imperator, is the title used by the supreme rulers of the charr; underneath the Khan-Ur lies the imperators. The Claw of the Khan-Ur is the weapon of the Khan-Ur and having it is one of the requirements for a charr to become a Khan-Ur, another being performing a great act to show the individual's power.
The first Khan-Ur unified the charr before the arrival of humans on the Tyrian continent, and the last Khan-Ur was assassinated by humans[1] around the time of the Exodus of the Gods. The four imperators of the last Khan-Ur formed the four High Legions. Although a few charr have attempted to claim the title, none have been able to hold it or unite the charr under a single banner.
