“	Hmm... A mere Undead, yet you can see me? Fascinating... I am Quelana of Izalith. I am not often revealed to walkers of flesh. You have a gift. Are you, too, one who seeks my pyromancy?	„
	~ Quelana of Izalith.

Quelana of Izalith is a character of the video game Dark Souls.

Background

Quelana was originally a "flame witch" who used fire sorcery. When Izalith was consumed and the demons infested the city, she fled and became the creator of Pyromancy. It is unknown whether the knowledge of fire sorcery was forgotten by her or whether she created Pyromancy as a safer version of it. Quelana passed on her knowledge to Salaman, who in turn passed on his knowledge of pyromancy to the people of the Great Swamp.

According to a developer interview, Quelana and the other Daughters of Chaos are a different species, despite appearing similar to humans. Her in-game model may not reflect her "canon" appearance, with pale, ash-colored skin, as seen in the opening cutscene and achievement art.

Biography

Upon meeting Quelana, she offers to teach the player Pyromancy. After a while, she asks the player to defeat what is left of her corrupted sisters*, Quelaag and the Daughter of Chaos, and the Bed of Chaos to free the consumed souls of her mother and sisters. Upon completing her requests, she gifts the player her final pyromancy: Fire Tempest.

Trivia

• It seems that the Daughters of Chaos have names beginning with "Quela" as a prefix, Quelana being one of the examples.
• Eingyi refers to Quelana as "Lost Quelana", suggesting that the other Daughters of Chaos feel a sense of alienation towards Quelana.
• Quelana does not appear to be affected by temporal distortion, and yet the robes on the corpse triggering the boss fight with the Ceaseless Discharge are said to be hers. Likewise the corpse coexists with her in the same timeline, unlike other characters whose corpses appear after their deaths or disappearances.
