Charr Trail Signs

Charr Trail Signs, also referred to as blazes or pictograms, are thought to have originated in Ascalon and are carvings used by the charr to leave trails. As the signs were meant to be used without the benefit of writing tools, charr use their claws to create the carvings. First encountered during Mired Deep, and again during Shoulder to Shoulder the commander is asked to interpret a charr trail signs. Some of these signs can also be seen used by Ash charr in Grothmar Valley leading to Recon Cove.
