Felberta

Felberta is Nux's first wife and one of the central anchors of the Leander family. Introduced as a widowed viscount who brings Nux into her estate, she becomes his earliest enduring partner, helps turn his separate relationships into a family, and later inherits the Eldraeth bloodline and the Law of Genesis. Her journey is shaped as much by an old fear of being replaceable as by her eventual mastery of creation: after years of comparing herself with more specialized companions, she finds a power and a leadership role that are unmistakably her own.

Biography

The Alveye Estate and a new partnership

Felberta begins as the Viscount of the Alveye estate, a widow with a son studying away from home and enough political caution to protect an exposed position in Skyfall society. She has the merchant Elton bring the newly arrived Nux to her as a personal companion. Although she initially treats the arrangement as one she controls, Nux quickly becomes more than an employee or possession. His attention gives her affection she had not expected, while his unusual method of dual cultivation offers an answer to the age and lack of talent that had placed ordinary cultivation beyond her reach. Their intimacy therefore changes both her private life and her future: she begins to grow stronger and allows herself to imagine remaining beside him for far longer than a mortal lifespan. (Chapters 4–34)

That attachment is tested when Nux admits that his growth also comes from other women. Felberta reacts as a betrayed partner rather than a detached patron, expels him, and threatens him through the authority she still possesses. She nevertheless returns to demand an explanation. His promise that she is not disposable, and that he intends to bring her through his future adventures, answers her deeper fear of being abandoned to age rather than merely smoothing over the immediate quarrel. Felberta does not pretend jealousy has disappeared; instead, she accepts that Nux will love others and resolves to preserve her special place as the woman who met him first. That decision becomes explicit when she wholeheartedly accepts his Harem Seal and its long-distance communication and shared abilities. (Chapters 30–31 and 77–78)

Felberta also contributes resources Nux does not yet have. She reveals her membership in the Thousand Information Chamber, whose intelligence helped a lone noblewoman deter threats, and uses what she knows to warn him about the Bannermane and Hardwick houses. Her goals are not conquest for its own sake—she says she had been content to live undisturbed—but Nux's ambitions and danger change the scale on which she must think. By sharing protected information and extending her trust to Skyla, Lane, and the women who follow, she begins moving from estate holder to the senior member of a much larger household. (Chapters 78–80)

Skyfall schemes and the making of a family

As the family becomes involved in the Royal Academy and Skyfall's succession struggle, Felberta's authority becomes less formal and more relational. She takes part in the private discussions through which Nux and his wives evaluate risks, training, and new relationships, but she also learns to share decisions with sharper specialists such as Amaya. Her willingness to contest unfair arrangements, then accept them when Thyra explains why Nux's practical training requires separation, shows the balance she gradually develops between possessiveness and the family's collective needs. She likewise supports the position that a prospective partner must choose Nux over social pressure rather than be endlessly pursued. (Chapters 189, 293, and 411)

This period also changes the meaning of “first wife.” It is not an uncontested rank that gives Felberta command over the others; it is a responsibility she repeatedly tries to fulfill by helping the women live together. Skyla and Lane retain a bond with her that predates Nux, while later wives bring talents she lacks. Felberta can be teasing, territorial, and openly competitive, yet she increasingly treats the others as sisters rather than rivals to remove. The result is a family in which she remains symbolically first while strategic, martial, and emotional leadership shifts among those best suited to the immediate problem. (Chapters 189–411)

The Forgotten Continent and leaving Royce behind

During the struggle over Skyfall and the wider Forgotten Continent, Felberta participates in planning rather than assuming that combined strength can solve every problem. When the group considers confronting Astaria, she asks whether all the King Stage wives together could bridge the gap to an Emperor and accepts Nux's warning that they cannot. Her loyalty is also candidly personal. Faced with a possible evacuation from a doomed continent, she favors the path that protects Nux, her sisters, and her son Royce; she cares about ordinary people, but not enough to sacrifice the few people on whom her life is centered. This is not presented as selfless heroism, but as a clear hierarchy of obligations that guides her decisions. (Chapters 454 and 703)

Royce makes that hierarchy painful rather than simple. Felberta leaves him in safer hands while she follows Nux into conflicts whose enemies could use a child against them. She checks that he will be cared for and continues to think of his safety, but distance leaves her with persistent guilt. When the family reaches Yrniel, her first instinct is still maternal: she warns Royce not to trouble his guardians even as he insists that he is grown. The separation therefore becomes one of her lasting costs. She has chosen Nux and the family's dangerous path, but never reinterprets that choice as proof that Royce mattered less. (Chapters 703 and 712)

ExceedoGenesis and the fear of being replaceable

Felberta advances with the rest of the family, reaching Great Sage after the wives work to stand on equal footing with their new companions, and she helps establish ExceedoGenesis as their common identity. Yet the more accomplished the household becomes, the more she privately fears that versatility has made her redundant. She can lead, plan, fight, administer, and care for Nux, but sees a specialist beside her in every category: Amaya is the strategist Nux relies on most, Thyra the defining assassin, Ember the general, and others possess equally singular roles. Even when Felberta comforts Nux after a difficult operation, she describes her loving care as replaceable because any of his wives would give him the same devotion. (Chapters 973 and 1279)

The insecurity affects her work. When a plan against the Black Order costs the family its embedded spies, Felberta blames herself for devising a sloppy approach. More damagingly, she cannot identify a cultivation Path even after mastering eight techniques to Assimilation level. Watching women who trained fewer techniques form their Laws convinces her that she is about to be left behind. She finally voices the fear in front of Nux and the family, expecting confirmation of inadequacy. Instead, Faustina recognizes that mastering so many techniques is itself an exceptional feat: Felberta is not talentless, but a broad and unusually fast learner whose strength had been misread because it did not resemble the others' narrow specialties. (Chapters 1280 and 1384–1386)

Felberta accepts Faustina's offer to become her disciple. The choice requires admitting that reassurance from Nux cannot by itself repair her self-image; she needs training that lets her understand and prove her own ability. Under Faustina, her control and confidence improve together. By the time Nux returns from his long illusion, Felberta is able to interrupt tension among much older and stronger figures, create individualized thrones with a gesture, and direct the group toward preparing for his return. Her authority now comes from competence she recognizes in herself, not merely from insisting upon the title of first wife. (Chapters 1386–1387 and 1454–1455)

The Law of Genesis and Eldraeth rebirth

Faustina's training leads Felberta to inherit the Law of Genesis from Aurelia Starweaver, a creator and fallen Eldraeth Progenitor whom Faustina had known. The Law matches Felberta's breadth: rather than granting supreme control over one element, it lets her create anything she understands and exercise lesser control across matter, elements, and concepts. Felberta accepts that tracing Aurelia's path will be difficult, but no longer treats difficulty as evidence that she is lesser. Her first explanation to her sisters is measured—specialists in a given element still possess finer control—yet the range of the Law finally gives her a field in which being an all-rounder is the defining advantage. (Chapters 1454–1456)

Faustina then entrusts Felberta with Aurelia's preserved Blood Essence. Felberta knowingly accepts not only its strength but the enemies attached to the legacy. The transformation rebuilds her as the Eldraeth Progenitor, changes her body and perception, and gives her responsibility for reviving the destroyed race. It is not an instant mastery: on waking, she says that her expanded abilities will require time to control. Nor does creation make her an invulnerable solitary warrior; Faustina warns that Eldraeth power is best used as a support pillar and that Aurelia's fatal mistake was facing enemies without sufficiently strong companions. Nux's answer—that none of his wives are meant to fight alone—aligns Felberta's new responsibility with the family structure she has spent years building. (Chapters 1480–1483)

Felberta soon demonstrates how decisive that support can be. In the invasion of another world, she connects her mind to the world and rewrites local conditions across the battlefield: flight ceases, terrain traps and drains soldiers, crystalline prisons suppress energy, and an elemental storm strikes dense enemy formations. Some effects also catch weaker allies, and opponents with sufficiently comparable Laws of Self can resist broad alterations, so the power demands coordination rather than indiscriminate use. With Nux supporting affected allies and her sisters attacking through the openings, Felberta turns an enemy army's mobility and cultivation against it. The victory resolves the question that had haunted her: she is no longer trying to duplicate another wife's specialty, but reshaping the conditions under which the whole family fights. (Chapters 1532–1534)

Severed from the Universe

Felberta's Eldraeth blood later creates a crisis neither she nor Nux anticipates. When more than half of her Blood Essence passes to him, the Universe begins erasing her for apparently violating the rule against a second Progenitor. Believing she is going to die, Felberta invents an explanation that will keep Nux from blaming himself and asks him to take the rest of her blood, become stronger, and revive her someday. The choice reveals the core of her loyalty: she is frightened of separation, but trusts him without construing the accident as betrayal and tries to protect his mind even while her own existence disappears. (Chapter 1580)

Nux refuses that outcome and breaks Felberta's connections to Yrniel and the greater Universe, becoming her sole anchor. Felberta welcomes the bond—and privately enjoys being the first wife to achieve it—but Aeliana's warning exposes the cost. The ordinary cultivation path depended on the world and Universe she no longer belonged to. Felberta retains the Law of Genesis because it finds a place in Nux's inner universe, but the route from her existing Divine cultivation toward the Primordial Stage becomes unclear. Her survival thus opens an uncertain new phase rather than simply removing every restriction. (Chapters 1583–1584 and 1627)

As Nux forms the same bond with the other wives, Felberta's power becomes foundational to the new universe. Genesis appears there as white, cloud-like energy and takes part in balancing destruction; it also helps heal worlds that Nux has devoured rather than letting their structures collapse outright. Felberta contributes knowledge as well as power, explaining why a dying Rune's connection to the Universe resists an artificial time flow and later recognizing runic structures from her training even when she cannot reproduce their full shifting complexity. Her role has expanded from family organizer to one of the forces that make the family's home viable, but the limits remain explicit: understanding, precision, and sufficient energy govern what Genesis can actually produce. (Chapters 1508, 1627–1638, 1661, and 2019–2020)

Separation, war, and the Leander family

When Nux disappears for long periods and the family confronts wars beyond Yrniel, Felberta resumes the stabilizing work of the first wife. She explains his absence to an impatient Lyriana, surrounds him with the others when pressure makes him lash out, and repeatedly turns the group back toward the next necessary step. After their lives are bound to Nux's universe, she urges him to complete his breakthrough and sever the remaining Progenitors. Later, when he announces another return to the Main Universe after five thousand years apart, she understands why he must go but also recognizes in herself a fear of losing him that reason cannot instantly erase. Rather than concealing it behind composure forever, she watches his behavior and directly asks what he is hiding. (Chapters 1670, 1695, 1943, and 2021)

That vigilance does not make her the family's sole strategist or strongest fighter. In campaigns against the Supreme Worlds, she often reads Nux's intent, comments on the danger, and looks to him or Amaya for the final plan. Her contribution is emotional and organizational as much as tactical: when he is disappointed, she takes his hands; when the wives panic, she helps bring them back to the shared purpose; and when Allura's pregnancy sends Amaya into murderous jealousy, Felberta steps between them and orders her to stop despite her own grief at losing the “first child” she had quietly hoped would be hers. She chooses the family over an impulse she understands intimately. (Chapters 2140, 2151, 2249, and 2269)

In the peace that follows, Felberta becomes mother to the Eldraeth twins Aurelios and Lysera while remaining Royce's mother. She is present when the Leander children gather and when Nux confronts the Infinities, still the person who can notice his trembling during a birth or offer hope while trusting him in battle. At the end of the supplied corpus, she returns to Yrniel with Skyla, Lane, Shadow, and their children. Her reunion with Royce at the Exceedo Genesis estate brings both fulfillment and pain: she introduces his new half-siblings, welcomes his wife and descendants, and finally sees the family that continued growing during her absence. The household she once feared would make her replaceable has become the enduring proof of her place within it. (Chapters 2298–2319 and 2357–2407)

Appearance and personality

Felberta first appears as a twenty-eight-year-old human woman with raven hair, black eyes, a pronounced hourglass figure, and the polished bearing expected of a viscount. Nux perceives her as confident and commanding, but that public composure coexists with a private need for affection and reassurance. She is practical about political danger, comfortable exercising authority, and often playful or competitive with her sisters. She is also intensely family-centered: Nux, her sister-wives, and her children consistently take priority over abstract duties to strangers. (Chapters 6, 30, and 703)

After inheriting Aurelia's Blood Essence, Felberta is reborn as a nine-foot-tall Eldraeth. Her long hair falls to her feet like liquid light and shifts among silver, blue, and violet; her eyes carry the same changing hues, and her features retain a recognizable resemblance to her former self. In battle, her presence is described as ethereal and revitalizing even when she is preparing a devastating attack. (Chapters 1482 and 1532)

Her most important personality change is not from gentleness to hardness, but from concealed uncertainty to acknowledged competence. Felberta remains nurturing, jealous, and capable of self-blame after becoming a Progenitor. What changes is her willingness to lead without apologizing for being a generalist. She can calm disputes, make difficult family decisions, admit fear, and confront dangerous emotions in others. Her old insecurity never vanishes entirely—her reaction to Allura's pregnancy shows that the title of “first” still matters deeply—but she increasingly chooses responsibility over competition when the two conflict. (Chapters 1279, 1455, 2021, and 2249)

Abilities and cultivation

Felberta's power develops from externally assisted cultivation into a creator bloodline whose Law becomes one of the foundations of Nux's universe. Her major capabilities are broad, but not unlimited: the corpus repeatedly ties effective creation to knowledge, control, energy, scale, and resistance from other Laws.

Cultivation and Eldraeth bloodline

Felberta begins as a Mortal Stage human with low talent and no practical route into cultivation after her prime years. Nux's dual cultivation transfers energy to the weaker partner, allowing her to rise despite that limitation; early sessions visibly increase her level and bring her toward the Beginner Mana Cultivation Stage. She later trains with the family, reaches King Stage by the continental conflict and Great Sage after the group's accelerated advancement, then masters eight techniques to Assimilation level. That breadth becomes the evidence Faustina uses to identify her hidden aptitude. (Chapters 30–34, 454, 973, and 1385–1386)

Aurelia Starweaver's preserved Blood Essence rebuilds Felberta as an Eldraeth and a Progenitor. The inheritance changes her entire body and grants the racial capacity for creation and matter manipulation, along with knowledge and potential connected to Aurelia's legacy. Felberta initially requires time to control the expanded abilities. Creation is also described as support-oriented rather than automatically supreme in direct combat, and inheriting Aurelia makes Felberta a target for the high-level powers that once sought Eldraeth blood. After Nux becomes her sole anchor, her Law remains usable, but her former cultivation route beyond the Divine Stage stops being intelligible until his developing universe can supply a new framework. (Chapters 1480–1483 and 1627)

Law of Genesis

Felberta inherits the Law of Genesis through Aurelia's techniques and Faustina's guidance. Its operating principle is creation: she can produce things that exist in the world when she understands them and has sufficient control, and she possesses broad influence over elements and concepts such as matter, gravity, time, and space. This breadth is balanced by lower specialization; Felberta explicitly says her control over any single element is weaker than that of a being devoted to it. In quiet use, she creates elemental spheres without Mana, grows a fruit-bearing plant from created earth, and forms furniture tailored to individual users. (Chapters 1454–1456)

In combat, Felberta can connect her consciousness to a world and impose temporary rules through Genesis energy. Her largest demonstrated battlefield use removes flight across an area, changes the ground into a substance that restrains and drains those in contact with it, creates crystalline enclosures that suppress energy, and directs elemental lightning against concentrated forces. Wide rules do not automatically distinguish friend from foe, so Nux must support weaker allies caught by the loss of flight. Comparable or stronger Laws of Self can resist the alterations, and the scale of a change affects how broadly it holds. These constraints make Genesis most effective when Felberta shapes the battlefield for coordinated allies rather than dueling without support. (Chapters 1532–1534)

Creation depends on comprehension rather than desire alone. Felberta can create ordinary structures, barriers, elemental effects, and living plant growth she understands, but repeatedly fails to reproduce a Time Anchor whose tiny runes shift every heartbeat. Even picturing it does not supply the missing exact structure. Her training lets her identify a Rune of Endless Memory within the device, showing that knowledge improves analysis without guaranteeing reproduction. The corpus therefore demonstrates reality-shaping effects but does not establish that she can freely create any imagined object, law, soul, or living person without study and conditions. (Chapters 1657 and 2019–2020)

Progenitor creation and Genesis energy

As the Eldraeth Progenitor, Felberta has the capacity to create members of the lost race and to transform others into Eldraeths. Faustina explains that restoring the race is a creator's duty, not merely a matter of childbirth. Felberta considers transforming Royce, but postpones it while an unmistakable Eldraeth form could attract otherworldly enemies to him. This illustrates a practical limit on the power: the transformation may be available, yet using it safely depends on the recipient's circumstances and the family's ability to protect them. (Chapters 1483 and 1611)

Within Nux's inner universe, Felberta's Law manifests as Genesis energy associated with white cloud-like dust. It balances destructive energy and participates in repairing devoured worlds, making it part of the new universe's stability rather than merely a personal combat resource. Nux can access the Law through their anchor bond at Felberta's level of mastery, but his borrowed use is not evidence that every application belongs to Felberta herself. Her latest demonstrated role is as the original source and continuing master of Genesis within the family's universe. (Chapters 1584–1586, 1637–1638, and 1661)

Leadership and analysis

Felberta's non-magical strengths remain relevant after her transformation. Experience as a viscount gives her administrative discipline; the Thousand Information Chamber teaches her to value protected intelligence; and years among stronger specialists make her adept at recognizing when to defer and when to intervene. She can read family dynamics, organize discussions, identify risks in plans, and calm Nux without treating emotional support as separate from strategy. Her failed Black Order plan shows that this judgment is not infallible, while her later willingness to accept correction and seek specialized guidance is part of what makes it dependable. (Chapters 79, 1280, 1455, and 2269)

Power progression

Relationships

• Nux: Felberta brings Nux into her estate and becomes his first enduring partner. Their relationship grows from an unequal arrangement into mutual devotion, and he later becomes her sole metaphysical anchor when the Universe tries to erase her.
• Royce: Felberta's elder son. She leaves him behind to keep him beyond the reach of Nux's enemies, carries lasting guilt over the separation, and reunites with him and his descendants after returning to Yrniel.
• Skyla: One of Felberta's original maids and among the sisters closest to her from before the wider family formed. Felberta combines senior affection with teasing and protectiveness toward her.
• Lane: Another companion whose bond with Felberta predates Nux. Felberta speaks frankly to Lane because she cares for her and remains protective even after Lane's closest connection shifts toward Nux and Shadow.
• Faustina: Felberta's master. Faustina recognizes the talent hidden beneath Felberta's inferiority complex, teaches her the creator's path, and entrusts her with Aurelia Starweaver's Law and Blood Essence.
• Amaya: A sister, rival, and strategist Felberta respects despite frequent competition. Felberta often yields strategic leadership to Amaya, but she also confronts her when jealousy threatens the family.
• Allura: A sister whose pregnancy forces Felberta to face her private wish to bear Nux's first child. Felberta experiences grief and frustration without blaming Allura, and protects her when Amaya's jealousy becomes dangerous.
