The wall was breached, defenses shattered, and a Charr army that would have defeated all of Kryta if not for super powerful beings and taken Orr if not for a certain scroll stormed through Ascalon (or were there multiple armies?).

So how was Rin still there for it to be sad when it burns? How was anyone alive in Ascalon for your character to be doing patrols for them three years later? Like, I just don’t get how anywhere had any people let alone soldiers left, clearly the Charr army was massive and devestating so how did a scattered and near broken people and army not get totally slaughtered to the point of the whole area being lifeless? I feel like there’s some major lore point I’m missing, cause even if there was one or two massive underground garrisons of soldiers that shouldn’t have been enough to stop a Charr invasion force massive enough to take on Orr or Kryta. I never understood how there were still people in Ascalon, why didn’t the Charr destroy every last human? What am I missing?

To be clear I’m not on their side or anything this just always confused me since yeah their army is stated as being basically unstoppable without a massive wall, beings that seem like gods, or just destroying your entire civilization and turning everyone into zombies.
