Gustha Ebbasdotter was the royal mage of Kjeldor at the time of the Ice Age of Dominaria.

Description

Gustha is described as having long, luxurious black hair and a dark-skinned face. She wore slippers and long, blue and white robes, and normally had a calm demeanor, although it was sometimes broken by irritation such as when arguing with her cousin, Gerda Äagesdotter. She led the Royal Academy of Magic in Krov and was known as a strict leader. Her no-nonsense attitude and firm hand earned her the nickname "Gusty the Royal Pain".[1]

History

Gustha was in on her cousin Gerda's conspiracy that allowed Lim-Dûl to capture Jodah and bring him to Tresserhorn, but felt remorse afterward, and had a progressive falling out with her cousin as a result. As part of the deal, she received Jodah's Mirror, which was later stolen back by Jaya Ballard. Gustha eventually made amends with Jodah, and sided with Kjeldor against Lim-Dûl. She ended up dying a hero's death during Lim-Dûl's Battle. After having exhausted all her spells against a warded Avram Garrisson, she was swarmed by the necromancer's undead, and she barely had time to scream before falling.[1]

Trivia

  • Gustha's final battle with Lim-Dûl in Fyndhorn forest at the end of the Ice Age is depicted in the trailer for Ice Age.[2]
