Biography

The shipwreck of the Tenth Age had scattered the Queen's entourage near and far during a return voyage, and a group of elite guards were forced to return to the Enchanted Kingdom through a cold and distant forest. Snow weighed heavily on the thick branches and constant storms obscured sight, but many of the guards reported that they had seen a tiny scurrying figure in the blizzard. Only when the Queen later returned to this forest with her warriors could this mystery finally be solved-the guards had been accompanied by another Elemental Sprite. When captured, this sprite was restored to its true identity: Chilla, whose powers kept the winter winds fresh and crisp. ^[1]

In the Game

Chilla is the first warrior the player takes control of in the initial siege on Thorn's Castle. Outside of battle, Chilla is mostly used to climb walls and throw ice spikes at chains and switches. Chilla is crucial to the battle with Queen Thyra, and is the key to defeating Kalus while she is healing Thorn.
