Calia Menethil, Princess of Lordaeron, is the daughter of King Terenas and Lianne Menethil and Arthas Menethil’s sister.
Before World of Warcraft
Early Life
Despite being the first-born, Calia is not a male heir to the throne of Lordaeron and therefore lives a normal life within the aristocratic standards. While her younger brother
Arthas Menethil
is trained to once become King of Lordaeron, Calia is bound to only play a supporting role in the grand scheme of Lordaeron’s politics.
In her youth she becomes close friends with Jaina, a member of the Kul Tiran noble house Proudmoore and daughter of Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, who will later fall in love with Calia’s brother Arthas.
Falling in love on her own is not an option for Calia due to political reasons; her father Terenas has exact plans for his daughter’s future.
Marriage with Daval Prestor
He arranges a wedding between Calia and Daval Prestor, an unknown and minor noble who claims to be a distant cousin to the traitorous King of Alterac, Aiden Perenolde. He becomes a close advisor to King Terenas. After Aiden is exiled, Daval claims the Alterac throne. Terenas approves of Daval’s plans and wants him to marry his daughter Calia to strengthen the bond between Lordaeron and Alterac.

In a series of events involving the Kirin Tor and Krasus and Rhonin, members of the Council of Six, it turns out that Daval Prestor served as the human disguise of Deathwing, the Black Aspect. He wanted to inflitrate the Alliance and its noble houses to destroy it from within. After the Battle of Grim Batol, Deathwing is severly weakened, and Daval Prestor vanishes under mysterious circumstances shortly after.
As told in Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, Calia doesn't grow fond of Daval Prestor at first, but it seems that she changes her mind over the course of time, and items like
Princess Calia Menethil's Copper Coin
which can be fished from the Dalaran Fountain imply exactly that. It is known though that Deathwing have been putting spells on several nobles including King Terenas, and that may have happened to Calia as well to reinforce his influence on house Menethil.
After Daval Prestor’s disappearance, Calia falls in love with an unknown footman. Afraid that her family would never approve of a relationship between her and a soldier, she keeps the romance a secret. After a marriage in private and sudden pregnancy, she finally opens up to her mother Lianne, and after her daughter was born, they decided to give the child away to its father to raise it in anonymity. However, Queen Lianne promises her daughter that they would accept her husband and daughter back once Arthas has become King of Lordaeron.
The Third War
But Arthas decides to become a death knight and eventually the Lich King, and after he kills his own father, Calia was believed to be killed as well.
From that time on, players were looking for Calia in the World of Warcraft, and they believed to found her in the Dustwallow Marsh NPC
Calia Hastings
. She didn't look like Calia at all, but her affiliation with the secret military guard SI:7 would have made sense, given the fact that he married a soldier and went undercover together with him and their daughter.
But as Before The Storm revealed in 2018, Calia survives the Scourge onslaught and hides away together with her family in Southshore, only to be separated from their loved ones forever after another relentless attack by the undead.
During her escape from the Scourge Calia meets
Alonsus Faol
, former Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light and Uther’s mentor, who has turned Forsaken. Thanks to him she realizes that not all undead are evil ghouls, and that the Forsaken still hold dearly to their living loved ones.
Legion
In Legion, Calia joins the ranks of the Conclave and can be found in
Netherlight Temple
, Legion’s Priest Order Hall.
She is also obtainable as a champion
.
Before The Storm
The Gathering
In Netherlight Temple, Calia gets acquainted with the ancient naaru S’aara. The crystalline entity helps Calia with regular nightmares about her family and the undead that steal her peace of mind every night. Calia feels deep comfort after hearing the wise words of Saa’ra:
Before The Storm, Chapter 20
There are things you must do before that peace will be granted to you. Things that you must understand, that you must integrate into yourself. People who need your help. What one needs in order to heal will always come one's way, but sometimes it is hard to recognize it. Sometimes, the most beautiful and important gifts come wrapped in pain and blood.
After some time, Anduin, now King of Stormwind and the Alliance, meets Calia following the happenings on Argus. As soon as the young king learns about her survival, their relationship grows close quickly, not last because of the involvement of the Conclave, the priest guild Calia is a member of, with healing Azeroth after the attack of Sargeras. Her strong belief in the redemption of the Forsaken impresses him.
Then the Gathering, an event planned to bring together humans and their undead loved ones, is about to happen. Sylvanas accepts Anduin’s invitation to this unique attempt to bring back peace for a short moment in history.
Given her past and present, Calia intends to do everything she can to make the Gathering a success for both the Horde and the Alliance, not last because she hopes to see her beloved family herself once again.
The day of the Gathering arrives, and Calia attends the event as a hooded priest. As the event goes along, a Forsaken called Parqual Fintallas recognizes the Princess of Lordaeron under her hood. Driven by hope that Calia could reunite the torn people of Lordaeron, Parqual and his daughter together with the Felstone family try to reach Stromgarde Keep.
In that very moment, Calia reveals herself and tries to bring even more Forsaken to the other side of the field. Sylvanas quickly notices this attempt of treason by the partaking Forsaken and kills both Calia and the treacherous undead on the field.
The Resurrection
As soon as the bloodbath ended, Anduin manages to save Calia’s corpse and brings it back to Netherlight Temple. In an act of resurrection performed by Anduin, Alonsus and S’aara, Calia gets revived as an undead touched by the light:
Before The Storm, Chapter 20
Calia Menethil was dead, but she lived. She was no mindless undead, but she was not Forsaken, either. She had been raised by a human and a Forsaken both using the power of the Light, bathed in the radiance of a naaru.
“Calia,” said Faol, and his voice trembled. “Welcome back, dear girl. I didn’t dare hope that you would return to us!”
“Someone once told me that hope is what you have when all other things have failed you,” Calie said to him.
Her voice was echoing, sepulchral, but like Faol’s, it was warm and kind. Her white gaze went to Anduin. She smiled gently. “Where there is hope, you make room for healing, for all things that are possible - and some that are not.”
Anduin watched as everyone responded to Calia’s - what? Resurrection? No, she was still dead. Dark gift? That wouldn’t be accurate either, because it was the Light that had been present today. There was nothing of darkness in this undead woman.
After Calia recuperated from her resurrection she tells Anduin that is was not her intention to behave the way she did during the Gathering. She didn’t want to become the new ruler of Lordaeron either. However, she felt an even deeper connection to the Forsaken she met on the field, and that is why she wanted to take sides for them and lead them on their way to real freedom and back to their loved ones.
Realising that she hasn’t been ready for this enormous task, she decides to stay with Alonsus Faol to learn more about the undead and their connection with the light.
Battle for Azeroth
Following Before the Storm, not much has been heard of Calia. During 8.1 and the happenings around
Derek Proudmoore
, his sister Jaina brings him to Calia, hoping that the lightforged forsaken could help her brother.
With 8.2.5, the patch that culminated the Fourth War in form of the Battle of Orgrimmar and the disappearance of Sylvanas,
the three meet in Stormsong Valley
:
Calia Menethil says: Ah Jaina. What a relief to see you safe.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Hello, Calia. Big Brother.
Derek Proudmoore says: Word has spread of what happened at Orgrimmar. Is the war finally over?
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: It will take time for all the pockets of fighting to be quelled, but... yes, I believe so.
Calia Menethil says: Azeroth has seen so many wars, so much strife. I pray we have earned a respite.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: As do I. Have you been able to find peace in your own heart, Derek?
Derek Proudmoore says: I still have some rough seas to sail, but I'm much better now, thanks to Calia. Without her guidance, I would have been truly lost.
Calia Menethil says: I'm so grateful you brought us together, Jaina. This time with Derek has helped me as much as it's helped him.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: In the wake of this war, others will need to find their footing. Their future. Perhaps you could guide them, too.
Calia Menethil says: I'm not sure how much help I could be. I don't have all the answers.
Derek Proudmoore says: Maybe they don't need answers. Maybe they just need hope. Like I did.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Well said, big brother. Come, let's take a walk. I am so grateful to have you both back in my life.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Let's enjoy this moment together.
WARNING: 8.3 STORY SPOILERS! Do not continue on if you don't want to be spoiled!
To nobody’s surprise, Lilian Voss manages to eavesdrop on the meeting of Calia and the Proudmoores. Driven by remorse and endless hope for the Forsaken, Lilian plans to pay her dues by arranging a meeting between her, Calia and Derek. This is part of one of the major 8.3 questlines involving the new leadership of the Forsaken:
Work with Undead Night Elves
Many Night Elves were killed and raised in undeath during the War of the Thorns, where Sylvanas attacked the Night Elves and burned down Teldrassil, their World Tree. While some newly created undead Night Elves joined Sylvanas, many were left without a place in the world. Calia reached out to them, helping them find comfort and a sense of purpose.
Advisor to the Forsaken and the Horde
After Sylvanas left the Horde and the Alliance and Horde signed an armistice, Calia began to visit the Horde fairly often, serving as an advisor to the Forsaken. Calia would often be seen at the side of the Forsaken's new interim leader, Lillian Voss, and even attended Horde Council meetings with her.
When Thrall arranged a meeting with Tyrande and Malfurion, leaders of the Night Elves, he took Calia with him, along with Baine Bloodhoof. He chose Calia due to her work with the undead Night Elves. The meeting was held in Nordrassil. Calia found the World Tree breathtakingly beautiful, but also realized that it was in mourning when Thrall mentioned the darkness that hung over the place. The meeting did not go well, largely due to Tyrande still feeling justified rage towards the Horde for allowing Sylvanas's crimes to happen. However, Thrall, Baine, and Calia were allowed to leave in peace.

Thanks for providing a lore guide to the elusive
佳莉娅·米奈希尔
.
Just completed the
重回洛丹伦(隐藏角色成就)
. I asked who is
佳莉娅·米奈希尔
? Why is she being invited to a meeting to determine who will rule Lordaeron? Why don't the others trust her? Is she Alliance or Horde? And why is Lilian Vos saying, Let's give her a chance to be part of a new governing council? Calia admits to being Arthas' sister; she repudiates him. She says she has no ambition, doesn't want the throne, only wants to help the survivors, is a team player.
Do I know you? Should I know you?
If I played a priest in Legion, I know you as
佳莉娅·米奈希尔
, a discipline priest follower.
If I’d read the World of Warcraft book, "Before the Storm" by Christie Golden I’d know a lot about your convoluted backstory. But I didn’t.
In Battle before Azeroth, I joined (or spied on) a meeting or two in Stormsong Valley between
佳莉娅·米奈希尔
,
吉安娜·普罗德摩尔
, and
德里克·普罗德摩尔
. I wouldn’t have recognized you. You came back large – the size of major characters. You have a new, unique model with an elongated face that somewhat resembles Arthas' face. You don’t look too healthy with that pallid face and your robes are just …tacky. Great smokey voice, though.
We saw
佳莉娅·米奈希尔
briefly again in Shadowlands when she witnessed the reunion between
泰莉亚·弗塔根
and
大领主伯瓦尔·弗塔根
.
entropicdragon
reports her
words
.
Now at the end of Shadowlands,
佳莉娅·米奈希尔
has a role in the Return to Lordaeron storyline. Her voice sounds different, colorless (another voice actor)? You defend her as she collects a sample of Lordaeron plague and accompany her to Maldraxxus. You listen as she makes her case to join the new Desolate Council.
In old comments, people wondered if
佳莉娅·米奈希尔
would have a major role -- would she replace Sylvanas? Arthas?
