The Rise of Guljin

For Honor is closing it's eight year with a new hero and a thrilling twist! At the beginning of the season, General Zhi, a cunning Wu-Lin general, offered Astrea the Starfall sword under the guise of forging an alliance. Astrea, ever suspicious, accepted the gift but brought her entire army as a precaution.

Unbeknownst to her, General Zhi was secretly allied with Guljin, a powerful Mongol Khatun. In a devastating ambush, Guljin's forces overwhelmed Astrea's larger army, leaving Heathmoor under Guljin's control and her twisted vision of peace.

New Hero : Khatun

The highlight of the season is the new hero: Guljin, The Khatun. She unified the Mongol tribes into a formidable force. Once dismissed as barbarians, they now command global attention. The Khatuns are brutal assassins, using fear as their primary weapon. Guljin's vision is a peaceful Heathmoor, united under her empire, free from petty wars. She expects her opponents to cower behind their walls until they surrender. To make sure they do, she rewards enemy cowardice while destroying all opposition with spectacular shows of strength.
