Khalya

Khalya (KAL-yuh or KAL-ee-uh) is the Akallan goddess of winter. She is the sister of Ultus, Ellara, Thala, and Zehir. She is the mother of the Blood Lord Sorn.

According to myth, Khalya was once the goddess of death. She reigned over the underworld, which is said to be a kingdom in the far west. However, she was overthrown by her daughter, Sele, who banished her to the north and seized lordship over the underworld. Now Khalya returns every year to unleash her wrath, resulting in winter.
