Kola Balgaard

"Throw me to the wolves and I'll return leading the pack."

- Kola Balgaard

At a Glance
A fierce human warrior, Kola Balgaard was one of the most skilled and deadly women to have ever lived. Born in Central Dominaria she was sold to slavers of Court's Cape at a young age and not much is known about Kola's life during this time other than the circumstances surrounding her escape. A folk hero, Kola's escape from armed guards as an adolescent would humiliate the slave-traders of Court's Cape who, to save face, denied Kola existence to begin with. Eager to remind them, Kola began a campaign of vengeance that put slave-trade back decades and collapsed the industry in Central Dominaria.

In addition to her incredible martial skill, Kola was also cursed with an agelessness that would, on occasion, reduce her form to that of an adolescent. Finding ways to supresss this curse, Kola's lengthened lifespan allowed her to practice swordplay and military strategies that surprised even the most aged Elves or Drow.

Kola's pursuit of justice would eventually guide her to The Brotherhood of the Spoke who sought to help people across all nations and borders. Over sixteen years she became the Brotherhood's maiden fair, and later leader.

Age of Adventure
Active in the Age of Adventure, Kola Balgaard traveled Central Dominaria and the world, busying herself with:
 * Dismantling the slave trade in Central Dominaria, crippling the influence of the lords of Court's Cape and Court's Bay.
 * Joining other heroes as a member of the Exodus Prophecy, thereby stopping Karn from unleashing Tiamat and bringing about Dark Sun.
 * Taking on leadership of the Brotherhood of the Spoke.
 * Starting a friendship, and perhaps more, with the redeemed knight Byron Cruentus.
