The [[Charr invasion]] brought an end to the last of [[The Guild Wars]]. It began in 1070 [[Mouvelian calendar|AE]] as a three pronged attack from the [[High Legion|Charr legion]]s in the north against the three [[human]] kingdoms of [[Tyria]]: [[Ascalon]], [[Kryta]], and [[Orr]].

The war began in skirmishes along [[the Great Northern Wall]], during which time the armies and guilds of the human nations were still at war with each other. It wasn't until [[the Searing]], caused by the [[Charr]]'s use of the [[Cauldron of Cataclysm]] that was given to them by their [[titan|gods]], that the true war began. With the Searing's devastation, the Charr were able to destroy the wall and send a few [[warband]]s through Ascalon to head to Orr while another group of warbands crossed the [[Shiverpeak Mountains]] and invaded Kryta. The Charr had to pass through the [[Far Shiverpeaks]], which is controlled by the [[Norn]]. Due to a mutual understanding of the others' strengths, the Norn had allowed the charr to pass freely.

In Kryta, the Charr brought the humans to their knees until [[Saul D'Alessio]] returned from his exile and formed the [[White Mantle]]. Saul was able to defeat the Charr with the help of the [[mursaat|Unseen Ones]] and saved Kryta from the Charr's attack, ending the Charr invasion on that front.

In Orr, the Charr were able to break through the Orrian defenses without breaking a stride. In the hour of desperation, [[Vizier Khilbron]] had read aloud a [[Lost Scrolls|forbidden scroll]] that caused the destruction of the entire peninsula Orr situated on. That event, known as [[the Cataclysm]], led to the death of thousands of Orrians and Charr, and even stopped the Charr before they could reach the streets of [[Arah]].

Despite their victories and losses, the Charr have continued their assault on Ascalon since 1070 AE. In 1072 AE, [[Prince Rurik]] and his [[Ascalon Vanguard|Vanguard]] led an assault on the Charr, ending with the death of their assault leader [[Bonfaaz Burntfur]] at the [[Nolani Academy]], and the banishment of Prince Rurik by [[King Adelbern|his father]]. The former prince then lead the [[Ascalonian migration]] to Kryta, which signalled the beginning of the [[Flameseeker Prophecies]].
{{gw2w|Human-charr conflict|War of Ascalon Independence}}
The war continues to this day in the land of Ascalon and in the [[Charr Homelands]] through both the army fighting in Ascalon and the [[Ebon Vanguard]] fighting in the Charr Homelands. And the war will continue on until either the Charr are fought back, or Ascalon falls.
