Canthan Emperor
From Guild Wars Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
The Canthan Emperor is the patriarchal leader of the Empire of the Dragon within the continent of Cantha. During Guild Wars, the Emperor has little sway over the actions of the Kurzick and Luxon nations, though this was not always so.
Originally, Canthan Emperors were referred to as "Emperor Lord," but are now referred to as Ascendant Emperor.

Notes[edit]
- Tahmu is said to have been an empress before she became a celestial, though it is unknown whether she ruled Cantha or another state before Cantha's founding, given the fact that only male descendants of the royal bloodline can rule the Dragon Empire.
- According to Lore, only Canthan Emperors (and those of imperial birthright) are able to use Dragon Empire Rage.
