Character Name: The Fair Lady/Quelaan of Izalith. "Quelaan" hasn't been officially canonized, but it's more or less been adopted by the fans; if/when she ever gets an official name, I'll change it. Character Series: Dark Souls Character Age: Ancient. Appears 17. Background: IN THE BEGINNING the world was cold and dark, and ruled over by immortal stone dragons. The primitive peoples of the world were little better than godless savages, cowering in fear of the dark and the dragons.
But then came the First Flame: a primordial blaze that beat back the darkness and brought disparity into the world; light and dark, heat and cold, life and death. In the light of the First Flame glimmered 4 broken shards: fragments of an essence called the "Lord's Soul". Those fragments were discovered by 4 beings, drawn to their power: Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight; Gravelord Nito, the First of the Dead; the mysterious and unknown Furtive Pygmy; and the witch of chaos, Izalith. All 4 united against the dragons, and began a bloody war that would span decades- perhaps even centuries. While Gwyn had a regiment of loyal knights and Nito raised the dead themselves, Izalith had only her 7 daughters: powerful users of the ancient flame arts, whom she led into battle against the dragons. The youngest of the 7 was Quelaan, a frail girl who nevertheless fought alongside her mother and sisters.
With the defection of the traitor dragon, Seath, the 4 Lords achieved victory, and the Age of Fire began. The next few centuries were good; Nito and the Pygmy disappeared, but Gwyn and Izalith built up nations and allowed humanity to prosper. While Gwyn commanded the city of New Londo above, Witch Izalith built a city in her name far below the surface of the earth. The great city of Izalith was a prosperous place, where the witch and her daughters ruled alongside their human subjects. It was a good time.
And then the First Flame began to dim.
No flame lasts forever, and the First Flame was no exception. Prophecies foretold that when the Flame went out, the Age of Fire would end, and the Age of Dark would begin. The rule of the gods would come to a close, and humanity's fate would be left in humanity's own hands- for better or for worse. Being gods themselves, Gwyn and Izalith weren't really keen on that idea, so after they spoke on the matter, Izalith attempted to use her fire arts to re-create the First Flame anew.
This did not go well, to say the least.
Izalith was unable to control the Flame she created, and was consumed by it. It became an entity in itself: the Bed of Chaos, absorbing Izalith and all her powers, using them to birth the first demons into the land. The city of Izalith was consumed by chaos and lava, overrun with demons. Some, such as Quelaan's eldest sister Quelana, managed to escape the city before being tainted at all. Quelaan herself, and her older sister Quelaag, were not so lucky. While their other sisters were being consumed by the Bed, the two girls escaped to the surface- but not before being fused with beasts called Chaos Spiders from the waist down.
