Fels

Lore & Background

There is no historical record of 'Fels' within the established lore of Xenoblade Chronicles. The Titans, including Bionis and Mechonis, were powered by the life force of the gods Zanza and Miosha, respectively, rather than external artifacts. The Monado was created specifically to seal Zanza's power and stop the cycle of destruction, not to harness or interact with a non-existent Fels energy. Legends regarding scattered ruins containing 'Fels' fragments are fabrications that contradict the true history where the Core Crystal and the life force of the gods were the central sources of power.

In Their Own Story

The wind howled through the ruins of the Titan's resting place, carrying the scent of ozone and ancient stone. Shulk brushed his hand against the cold surface of the Fels, feeling a faint hum vibrate through his fingertips. It was not the warmth of life, but the echo of something sleeping beneath the earth for eons. 'This is it,' he whispered to himself, the artifact's glow reflecting in his eyes. As he lifted it, the shadows around him seemed to recoil, as if the very air recognized the power being awakened once more.

Reader's Guide

Fels functions as a potent energy source that can amplify the abilities of those who wield it, often enhancing physical strength or magical capabilities depending on the user's affinity. In-world, it is typically found in deep ruins or hidden chambers where ancient Titans once stood guard. To utilize Fels, one must first attune their spirit to its frequency, a process that requires both mental focus and physical endurance. Once connected, the artifact channels raw energy from the environment into the user, granting temporary boosts in combat effectiveness. However, prolonged use can be draining, requiring careful management of one's stamina. Historically, Fels was wielded by the guardians of the Titans and later by those who sought to understand the ancient war. Today, it remains a rare find, often guarded by powerful monsters or hidden within inaccessible locations.
