Kel'jaia Uleoh is a delegate from Syngorn in the Tal'Dorei Council, and their most popular choice for Master of War as of 836 PD.

Appearance
Kel'jaia is a small but very strong gnome with a muscular build, with dark skin marked with white dots through her face and shoulders, as well as a red-painted forehead; and long, black braided hair with golden beads. She wears colorful clothing and collars that match the cloth in her great axe, as well as gold bangles.

Personality
Kel'jaia is confident, brave and determined, showing great emotional resilience and tactical cunning. She's also idealistic, aspiring to unite Tal'Dorei against the cruelties of the South.

Biography
Kel'jaia was born in the Rifenmist Jungle, and grew up amidst mercenaries, eventually joining them to help protecting the population of the Peninsula from the Iron Authority. During this, Kel'jaia developed her fighting style, becoming a juggernaut barbarian.

After one of the villages she was trying to protect was razed by the Iron Authority and her commander was killed, Kel'jaia left, travelling first to Syngorn, where she established several friendships and alliances, and then to Emon, using her connections to become the Syngornian delegate in the Tal'Dorei Council. The respect she has earned from Emon, coupled with her past merits, have made her the most acclaimed candidate for the position of Master of War, should the need arise. Meanwhile, Kel'jaia tries to further ties between her homeland and Tal'Dorei, hoping that the Republic will eventually take a firm stand against the Iron Authority.
