Klazina Jansdotter was the leader of the Order of the Sacred Torch, an elite cadre of Kjeldoran knights and paladins who fought the forces of the necromancer Lim-Dûl during the Ice Age of Dominaria. She shared many heroic traits with her friends Lucilde Fiksdotter but seemed to be more impulsive and ill-tempered.
History
Feast of Kjeld
During Disa the Restless's expedition to the west, Klazina, and Lucilde remained at a mountain pass for two weeks, awaiting the return of the explorer. When Disa returned from her disastrous voyage, the three started making their way to Krov, to reach the city in time for the Feast of Kjeld.
However, the three women were caught by a storm and forced to seek refuge in the village of Mikkel. After asking for hospitality without receiving answers from the villagers, the three reached the village church, where the priest Halvor Arenson and his protegee Kaysa were the only attendants. She asked angrily to the priest why the villagers didn't answer their summons, to which Halvor replied that the people of Mikkel were too scared of Lim-Dûl legions to leave their houses.
Halvor, Kaysa, the two knights, and Disa decided to celebrate the Feast of Kjeld, in their way. After a small banquet, the church door was thrown open by Kolbjorn, the Elder Druid. The man had come to take with him Kaysa, who had the mark of the next Elder Druid on her. However, he revealed that all the villagers had been killed and turned into undead. At that moment, the door was opened again by Avram Garrison, a knight of the Order of Stromgald. He greeted Lucilde and Klazina, and the two were relieved to know that a valiant knight had arrived to help them. Avram, however, revealed to had allied himself with Lim-Dûl, becoming an undead, because he thought that Kjeldorans had become unworthy, allying themselves with elves and dwarfs.
When the hordes of dead villagers broke into the church, Lucilde and Klazina, with the help of Disa, started to fight against them. Lucilde and Klazina, two of the most skilled knights in Kjeldor moved from opponent to opponent, trading blow for blow and fighting with fury. However, even if the knights fought bravely, they realized that they would be overrun by the dead.
However, while the knights were fighting, Kolbjorn and Kaysa intoned the chant of Freyalise. With the magic of the goddess, all the undead were stripped of their unholy lives, thus saving the group.
The next morning, while Kaysa agreed to go to Fyndhorn with Kolbjorn, Lucilde, and Klazina decided to bury the villagers' corpses. While Lucilde thanked Kjeld, or Freyalise, for the victory, Klazina reminded her that the war against Lim-Dul was far from over. Lucilde, however, said that for that day war could wait because they had some digging to do. While Lucilde searched for a shovel, Klazina realized that Avram's corpse was not among the bodies.
The Eternal Ice
Klazina would go on to participate in Lim-Dûl's Battle, where the necromancer was finally defeated and banished from the plane. During the battle, Klazina faced off against her former leader, Klausson, who had been turned into a ghoul. She was saved by Jodah casting a fireball to immolate the former Sacred Torch leader, and Klazina then led the troops in a counterattack and drove the undead from the barricades, throwing the last of the ashen ghouls back into the pyre of their burning comrades.[1]
