'''Khelta''', also known as '''Queen Khelta''', was a powerful [[Necromancer]] and the founder of [[Khelt]]. 

== Appearance ==
Described to be "sort of short" by [[Erin Solstice|Erin]],<ref>{{chl|8.11E}}</ref> Khelta's eyes were a pale white with a hint of brown, and her skin coloration was native to [[Chandrar]] (probably dark).<ref name=":3" />

== Personality ==
Khelta was imperious or impertinent, depending on who you asked. She remembered those who opposed her and humiliated them in the years to come. Later rulers of Khelt may have modeled themselves after her in some ways.<ref name=":4">{{chl|9.01}}</ref>

She had always loved the living and the dead equally.<ref name=":0">{{chl|8.85}}</ref>

She seemed to disapprove of [[Fetohep|Fetohep's]] crusading and warrior tendencies, viewing him as impetuous.<ref name=":3" />

== Background ==
Khelta grew up in a small city called Koirezune, which was eventually lost to time.<ref name=":1">{{chl|8.78F}}</ref> She lived after the end of [[Nekhret|Nekhret's]] Breathless Age, when Chandrar had roaming undead. Traveling the continent, she was inspired to create a nation where the dead would serve and protect the living instead of the other way around.<ref>{{VERef|10.55 F}}</ref>

21,000 years ago, Khelta founded Khelt<ref name=":2">{{chl|8.66}}</ref> amid sand and dust with a vision of safety.<ref name=":0" /> She named the capital city [[Koirezune]], after her home city.<ref name=":1" /> Countless [[species]] flocked to the newly founded nation, and her [[magic]] was respected like all other kinds. She had walked every land in the world.<ref name=":0" />

She met the [[Quarass]] for the first time while staking land for her kingdom. The Quarass mocked her then, but later respected her will. She met six of the Quarass' incarnations in her lifetime.<ref name=":4" />

Khelta attended the [[Gnolls]]' [[Meeting of the Tribes]] four times. During the first Meeting of Tribes Khelta attended, the last [[Unicorns]] of the [[Vale Forest]] of [[Izril]] came to trade the horns of their dead, and a [[Dragon]] attended who demanded a tribe fight for her, which nearly came to a miniature war.<ref name=":2" />

She fought against [[Roshal]] in her era.<ref>{{chl|9.26F}}</ref>

Khelta was the greatest [Necromancer] (and just as great of a [Queen]) the Quarass has ever met in her thousands of years of existence.<ref name="6.55 K">{{chl|6.55K}}</ref> She created the pact that provided Khelt's undead legions and workforce. She had won the admiration of countless nations, made [[Giants]] tread cautiously, and proved that Khelt was not to be pushed around.<ref name=":4" />

She ruled Khelt for eight hundred years, all while still alive, never becoming a [[Revenant]] before her successor took the throne.<ref name=":05">{{chl|10.56F}}</ref>

== Chronology ==
===Volume 8===
{{TBA}}
===Volume 10===

== Powers and Abilities ==
Khelta was the greatest [Necromancer] the Quarass had ever met.<ref name="6.55 K" /> In [[Kasigna|Kasigna's]] domain, Khelta was able to cut reality and make a barrier the [[God]] could not cross. She was able to summon Erin's soul from across Kasignel. By the weight of her class, Khelta was able to momentarily resist being consumed by Kasigna.<ref name=":0" />

== Trivia ==

* She has a dislike of slavery, and did not treat with or tolerate Roshal during her reign.<ref name=":3">{{chl|8.32}}</ref>
* She has earned the title ''Glorianemi zeikh'', a title awarded to those of Chandrar who have exceeded all others. It is an honored name that can never be taken back.<ref name=":3" />
* Khelta was regarded as a true master of necromancy even by Dragons.<ref name=":3" />
* Of all the rulers of Khelt, her reign was the shortest. She was also the only one not to become a Revenant.<ref name=":3" />
*As Khelta while living had attended the Meeting of Tribes four times, which in those days the tribes gathered every 200 years, this would make her at least 800 years old.<ref name=":2" />
*She followed the reductive Simplis-style of the Ossis school of Necromancy, which means she was specialized in crafting low-grade undead that could perform many advanced tasks.<ref name=":05"/>
*She was famously bad at math.<ref name=":5" />
