Kalah is the mother of the Dwarf Commoner Warden and Rica. She is a bitter drunk, who appears to care little about anything except her Mosswine.
Background
Having fallen on hard times after losing her husband, Kalah has fallen into a depression which she seeks to lessen through drinking. She is constantly berating her youngest son/daughter for not being grateful enough about all she's done for him/her.
Involved In
Kalah is addicted to the cheap wine known as Mosswine. This, and her depression has led her to be rude to her children, and to having a very bleak perspective on life. She does, however, care for her children, as is evidenced later. Rica comments that she was much happier before their father left for the surface, and urges the Warden to try to seek a way out of Dust Town.
The Warden can choose to purchase a bottle of wine from Olinda, and give it to Kalah. Purchasing the wine triggers a scene where an almost lucid Kalah speaks to her child, in a fairly motherly fashion, claiming that she only needs something to take the edge off. She then promptly passes out, with the bottle still in her hand.
Later, when Rica bears a son for Prince Bhelen, she moves to the Royal Palace with her daughter and grandson. Despite her new surroundings, she's still bitter and abusive, resentful of the attention Rica is getting for carrying Bhelen's son and for the Warden leaving for the surface.
During the epilogue, Rica will comment that Kalah has sworn off drinking after hearing what the Warden has done. Kalah will also be elevated to warrior caste along with her child and enjoy "lording over" her old friends. She can be seen behind Rica at the Warden's funeral if s/he made the ultimate sacrifice.
