The Kingdom of Fenrir (フェンリル王国 Fenriru-oukoku?) is one of the three powerful countries that governed over the world of Aselia during the period between Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Phantasia. It is destroyed by comet Samier's collision with the planet, and now all that remains are its relics and an ancient temple.
Geography
Fenrir is said to have been located in Aselia's northernmost region, where the continent of Friezkiel is now. Somewhat of a large island, it is encircled with a large mass of mountains, particularly to the south, while the inland area remains mostly flat and level. The only remnant of its once grand civilization is the Temple of Fenrir, dedicated to Fenrir's god and located in Friezkiel. It houses the Cave of Ice in a secret entrance.
History
Fenrir was one of the world's superpowers at its height, alongside the Republic of Odin and Thor. Of the world's superpowers at the time, it was the only monarchy. It saw its last days under King Ralph I after war erupted on December 2 between it and Odin. Not long after Thor sank into the sea due to the comet Samier's impact, mysterious individuals appeared and ended the war by annihilating both parties. As with the other countries, it wielded an item that became known as one of the Three Weapons, the base of the Eternal Sword: the ice blade Vorpal Sword, guarded by the Fen Beast in the Cave of Ice and said to contain the soul of the god Fenrir.
Trivia
- In Norse mythology, Fenrir is a monstrous wolf and one of Loki's three children who was chained by the Aesir, who feared his power. During the events of Ragnarok, Fenrir will break free and kill Odin, but he will then be killed by Vidarr, Odin's son.
- When comparing the world maps of Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Symphonia, the region corresponds with the area that was once Flanoir, thousands of years in the past.
