The Story of Sol Ciel
Page 64: ソル シェール の歴史 かつて高度な文明が栄えた世界、ソル シェール. その遺産ともいえる塔アルトネ リコ誕生の歴史を見ていこう.

それは唯一人の、唯一人への愛の誕でしかなかった. 自分の娘へ、父親からの愛. ひとつの詩. ひとつの想い. ひとつの力... Once a time, there was a great civilization on the world of Sol Ciel. And now, we will be showing you all how its remains, the Tower of Ar tonelico, were created.

This wasn't the work of only one man, neither the birth of the love of one man. For my daughter, with love from her father. One song. One feeling. One power...

=Story of the Genesis (First Era)= 創世の物語

すべては、一人の月奏が唄石という物質を発見したこと から始まった. 妻に先立たれた彼が娘 シュレリアの ために唄石を使って製作したオルゴールは不思議な力を 持ち、奏でると光の粒子が浮かび、辺り一面を覆った. その光を見るだけで、人々は深い安らぎを感じることが できた. 父娘がオルゴールの店を開くとたちまち評判と なり、男は国に招かれ音の力の研究をすることとなった. のちに人々は、彼を "音科学の父" と呼んだ. およそ90年後に誕生した彼の直系の子孫 エレノは、 親から先租の行った偉業を聞されて育った. 音科学の 最先端を進むべく勉強を重ねた彼は、最高学府(大学) の音科学研究者として日夜研究を続け、やがて功績が認 ひめられた国の研究機関にスカウトされた. 仕事は、当時 音科学の最先端であった増幅塔 "アルトネリコ" の拡張 計画におけるメインプランナー. だが、その国家レベル の仕事は彼の期待に反したものであった. 意に沿わぬ軍 事利用のための研究で家族にも会えぬ日々. 土気は日増 しに低下していき、やがて一人娘 シュレリアの事故死 という悲劇によりエレノはプロジェクト放棄する. 意気消沈した彼に、国はとある計画を持ちかけた. 塔 と完全にシンクロして完全制御する、人型のマザーブ レイン開発. である. 実験浮遊大陸『ホルスの翼』におも むいたエレノは、アルトネリコの『管理者』となる人工 生命本 エオリアに会った. それは、目を疑うような出 会いであった. エオリアは、彼の亡き娘シュレリアに瓜 二つだったのである. 彼は彼女を『シュレリア』と呼び、 実の娘のように可愛がった. それはシュレリアに、当時 のレーヴァテイルとしては異例の感情、特に人に対する 愛を身につけさせる結果となった. 音科学とアルトネリコの力を背景に、ソル シェル 地域の一小国に過ぎなかった 『エル エレミア』が、こ こ数十年程度で台頭してきたことを、快く思わぬ国があ った. 世界の主観を握っていたソル クラスタ地域の宗 主国エル デュエルである. 長きに渡る紛争の末、エル デュエルはテル族にアルトネリコの破壊工作を依頼す る. 彼らはグラスノ盤に通じる導力ラインを破壊、グラ スノインフェリアを引き起こした.

Everything started when one member of the Tsukikanade discovered the substance called "Songstones". And hidden from his wife, he made a orgel for his daughter, Shurelia, out of Songstones, which ended having mysterious powers. Whenever it was played, it would release particles of light, which covered the surrounding surfaces of wherever it was set.

By only looking to that light, all the people began to feel a deep peace. Very soon after that, both father and daughter opened a orgel shop, and since it became very popular very quickly, the man was invited to the capital of the country to lead a investigation focused on the powers that the sounds carry.

This man is known to the people of the current era as the "Father of Sound Science".

Roughly 90 years later, his direct descendant, Eleno, was born, and he was raised having heard during all his life about how great his grandfather was.

He went on studying very diligently, since he wanted to help Sound Science to advance. When he reached the University, he became a very passionate investigator, passing his days and nights researching and studying, and in a very short time, his achievements were acknowledged by the government and he was scouted by the National Research Center. His work in there was this one: he was assigned to be the main planner behind the leading edge in Sound Science: the expansion project for the amplification tower of "Ar tonelico". However, because of the massive scale this project had, many people opposed to it. And, since the investigation was done for military purposes, Eleno wasn't even able to see his family for many days. Because of this, his morale went down each day more, reaching the bottom when a tragedy occurred: his only daughter, Shurelia, died in an accident, and this was more than enough to make Eleno resign from the project.

Because of his extreme depression, the government offered a idea for the project: developing of a human-like mother brain that could synchronize with the tower perfectly, and control it as it was part of its body. While Eleno was working in the new project of the floating continent, the [Wings of Horus], he met the artificial lifeform Eolia, which was going to be turned into the [Administrator] for Ar tonelico very soon. Eleno doubted his eyes when he saw her for the first time. Eolia looked exactly like how his daughter Shurelia was at the time of her death. Then, Eleno began calling her [Shurelia], and began to love her as if she was his own daughter. At the time, thanks to the exceptional feelings carried by the Reyvateils, Shurelia found a special person, and as consequence of that, she learned about what the feeling of love is.

With the power of the Sound Science and Ar tonelico as its settings, the small country from the Sol Ciel region, [El Elemia], in a few decades was able to greatly grow and increase its power, which amazed the other countries, given how unexpected it was for such a small country to become so powerful.

However, the subjectivity of the world was gripped by the suzerain state of El Duel, from the Sol Cluster region. To end the long war, El Duel dispatched members of the Teru Tribe to do subversive activities in Ar tonelico. But they only ended breaking the main power lines that connected the Tower to the Grathnode Discs, causing them to shatter, and provoking the catastrophe known as the Grathnode Inferia.

Tsukikanade (Moon Chanters)
Keyword: 月奏

音科学以前、祈祷のために音楽は生まれた. 厄除け、雨乞い、豊作祈願. 『祀(まつ り)』として唄い演奏することで、さまざまな『力』を享受し生活を潤す. 人々は効果 の大きい場所に祭壇、社といったものを作り、そこを霊場といって畏れた. その知識 と経験を受け継ぎ、音の力を引き出して使えるごく一部の者たちが『月奏』とよばれ、 月奏は神の御子として人々から崇められていた.

Previous to the development of the Sound Science, the music was created for praying, with the purpose of warding off evil, beckoning the rain, and praying for good harvests. And thanks to the [Festivals], where there were musical performances and singing, the people received various [powers] to improve their lives. The people built altars in the places where the effects of these powers were stronger, and later on, they built shrines for the altars, which were greatly venered by them. Their knowledge and experience were passed on during generations, and these people who were able to harness the power of the sounds became known as the (Moon Chanters), who were revered like the priests and priestesses of the Gods.

Ar tonelico
Keyword: アルトネリコ

Ar tonelicoとは "ただ一つのご神木" の 意味である. すべての人に『音の持つ力』を 提供し、またそれを増幅することで、詩の力 の恩恵をもたらしたこの魔力増幅塔は、人間 とテルの合作であった. 異種族のテルは高度な科学技術をも習得し た魔法使いで、人間と戦争もしてきたが、や がて協力し合うようになっていった. テルは テルの持つ『魔法』を、人は『音科学』とい う技術を、それぞれ交流し融合していった. 人の科学力だけでは作り得なかったアルトネ リコには、科学だけでじゃ証明できない様々な 力が働いており、技術者は人間とテルで半々 程度の比率で存在していた.

Ar tonelico means "the Only Divine Tree". Everyone could use the [powers carried by the sounds], but still, they wanted to amplify them to increase the power and blessings they could receive from the songs, and for the purpose of building a tower that would amplify that magic, both the Humans and Teru worked together in its construction.

The other kind, the Teru, had access to very advanced technologies, and also, learned to harness the powers of magic, and even if they once waged war against the humans, soon afterwards, they began cooperating with them. The [Magic] that the Teru posses, and the [Science] of the Humans, eventually ended intermingling and uniting with each other.

The Science of the Humans alone wouldn't have been enough for creating Ar tonelico, since various of the functions and powers that the Tower was going to have couldn't be explained by science alone, and because of that, half of the engineers that planned and supervised its construction were humans, while the other half were Teru.

Eleno's Daughter
Keyword:エレノの娘

研究施設で働くエレノは、初めこそ足繁くに帰ることができたが、次第にそれも 許されなくなっていき、愛娘シュレリアと出会えない状態が一年も続いた. そし てシュレリアは、塔のセキュリティー誤作動はより殺されてしまう. 娘は連絡の つかない父に合いに来ただけだったのに....... 当時の塔は人の手に余る規模と なり、それまでにも誤作動やオペレーションミスが続いていた. エレノは全てに おいて気力を失った.

When Eleno was working in the El Elemia Research Institute, he at first was allowed to return home frequently, but with the passing of time, the frequency of his trips back home gradually diminished, making him unable to meet with his beloved daughter, Shurelia, for a long time. And then, tragedy struck when, one day, Shurelia was killed by of a malfunction in the security systems of the Tower. The father quickly returned home since he couldn't get in touch with his daughter... In these times, there weren't many people remaining to control the systems, and until this wasn't solved, the operation failures continued. Eleno lost all of his will to live because of this incident.

The Powers of the Songstones


Keyword: 唄石の力

音楽や歌は唄石により、一定の法則で魔力 に変換される. 歌の発信源付近にある唄石の 品質が高いほど魔力は大きくなり、魔法効果 は歌やメロディの種類によって変化する.

It's a natural law that the music and the songs, via the Songstones, transform into magical power. The higher the quality of the Songstone that is approached to the source of the song, the greater the transformation of the songs and melody in magical effects. When the "Father of Sound Science" used for the first time a Songstone as an alloy, the Songstone absorbed the melody and the feelings he put into it when he crafted them for his daughter, and turned them into particles of light. The Songstones have an small delay before releasing the magical power, and when the needle of the orgel touched its plate, it realized the magical power from the music that was recorded in it. In the researches that came later on, it was possible to create higher quality Songstone crystals, greatly improving their magical transformation capacity. Of course, that also reduced greatly the delay before the release of magical power. However, if these crystals were broken, they would release all the magical power they had accumulated inside at once, making them very dangerous items.

唄石結晶は精錬すると『吸収』側と『放出』側の特性に分離できる. 吸収特性しか 持たない結晶がが『パラメノ』、放出特性しか持たない結晶が『グラスノ』であり、 アルトネリコは、巨大なグラスノ盤、パラメノ盤が4枚ずつある. パラメノ盤は魔法 要求(旋律など)を受信、クオンタイズ(最適化処理)を行ったあと、ノイズを除去 してグラスノ盤に送る. 受信したグラスノ盤は魔法を放出する. それが音科学の サービス形態で、人々は端末で詩を謳うことで塔と交信し、具現化した魔力を享 受者できた. さらに塔の中枢、絶対管理区域にも高品位パラメノ盤がある. そこ には"音科学の父"が娘のために創った小さなオルゴールが設置され、塔を制御す る動力源として、ただひたすら "純粋な旋律" といわれるメロディを奏で続けている. 唄石-不純物=唄石結晶 唄石結晶を成分分解ー》パラメノ(音吸収体)&グラスノ(魔導放出体) 半導 体 詩ー》パラメノー》QTー》FTー》アーデル緩衝ー》グラスノー》魔法 詩 信号 信号 信号 信 号 魔力 音を認識 クオンタイズ ノイズ除去 魔力放 出

When the Songstones are refined and crystallized, their special characteristics are divided between [Absorption] and [Release]. The crystals that have only Absorption as their special characteristic are called [Parameno], while the ones that have only Release are called [Grathnodes], and Ar tonelico has among its facilities several huge discs made from them: more specifically, 4 for each kind of crystal. The Parameno discs capture and receive any source of magic (such as melodies), which then are sent to the Quantizer (optimization processor) and cancels any noises they can have before sending them to the Grathnode discs. When it reaches the Grathnode discs, it's released as magic. For the service form of the sound science, the people sang in special terminals to interact with the Tower, which then would change into embodiments capable of receiving the magical power. Furthermore, the center of the Tower was a Restricted Access area, given that the highest quality Parameno discs were located in there. Also, the little orgel that the "Father of Sound Science" made for his daughter was set and managed as the main power source for the Tower, given that it only continued to play the melody called the "Pure Melody".

West War with Sol Cluster
Keyword: ソル. クラスタ極西戦線

宗主国エル デュエルと48の同盟国から なるソル. クラスタ、エル. エレミアが提 案した『世界共同体要請書』を全面否定した. それを機に両国が冷戦状態に突入した後、エ ル. エレミアは、唄石の埋蔵量が豊富なある 小国に対し、アルトネリコのリソース提案を 条件に、ソル. クラスタ同盟からの脱退を 迫った. これが明るみにでると、エル. デュエ ルは大量のクラスタ連合軍を投入、アルトネ リコを中心に半径約100kmにノイズポスト というチャフをばらまき、塔の遠距離層波を 無力化した. エル. エレミアは、唯一ノイズ が掛けられていない方向(地面)に対して強 大な力を送り込んだが、感星のマントルと共 振した力が予想外の結果を生む. 大地を割れ、 マグマと音の魔力が噴出、"7つの血痕" と いわれる巨大な傷を大地に残した. その被害 範囲は数1000kmという大規模にわたり、 これにはエル. エレミア自身も動揺した.

The suzerain state of El Duel, together with other 48 allied nations formed Sol Cluster, and they violently denied the [World Commune Demands Treaty] that El Elemia proposed. In that moment, both countries started a cold war, and after that El Elemia turned into a small country that had abundance of Songstone reserves (the main proposed resources for Ar tonelico), they demanded their removal from Sol Cluster's signatory nations (allies), openly declaring their hostility. This got into light the fact that El Duel had sent a large contingent of the Cluster Allied Forces to deploy an enormous quantity of noise posts called Chaffs, which had the function of neutralizing the Long Distance Stratus Waves that the Tower could emit, in a radius of around 100 km around Ar tonelico. Given that the waves couldn't be sent through the air, and they couldn't destroy even one of the Chaffs, El Elemia decided to attack Sol Cluster by shooting a great quantity of power through the only other way they had (through the Planet's crust), but the strong resonance that all that energy produced with the delicate mantle of the planet caused an unexpected result. The earth broke apart, and magma and magical sound power gushed out from the cracks, leaving an enormous wound on the land that was later on called "the Seven Bloodstains". According to calculations, the damaged area was of several thousands of kilometers of diameter, which ended triggering a great commotion in El Elemia

The Tower Administrator
Page 65: Keyword: 塔の管理者

紛争以降、エル. エレミアでは人の手にあまる塔の制御方法が協議 され、塔と完全に同調する生命体『管理者』を創造することとなった. 既に研究がなされていた "レーヴァテイル" は、詩で塔と直接コンタ クトができ、プロジェクトの大役を負ったエレノは、その1体である エオリアに塔との神経節接続を行った. 塔全域とシンクロさせるため、 彼は途方もない数のグラスノとパラメノを、苦痛とともに彼女にイン ストールせねばならなかった. 残り2体のレーヴァテイルも、当時 建設過程にあった2体の塔の管理者として各地に移送された.

After the war, El Elemia decided to seek methods that allowed humans to directly control the Tower, and for that purpose, they created a lifeform that had complete synchronity with it, the [Administrator]. Because they already were doing it as part of the "Reyvateil" project, creating beings that were able to contact directly the tower through their songs, the most important role on the project befell on Eleno, who had to connect the nerves of one of the original Reyvateils, Eolia, to the Tower. To complete her synchronization with the Tower, he had to Install an absurd number of Grathnode and Parameno crystals inside her body, though he didn't want to do it, given the great pain this caused to Eolia. The other two Origin Reyvateils that were created during that period of time were then transferred to the lands they would have to administrate, and a similar process was used in them to turn them into the Administrators of the other two towers.

Abilities and Weaknesses of the Reyvateils
*レーヴァテイルの能力と欠陥 レーヴァテイルは、グラスノを体内に取り込んで詩魔法をさらにブ ーストできる. だがこの行為は彼女たちに大変なダメージを強いる. レーヴァテイルの体内にはNEE (生命維持機構) という機関があり、 その一部に自分と塔の間に魔導流量を調節するチェクスムという機 関がある. グラスノ結晶は、その機構の判断基準を狂わせるため、必 要以上の生体エネルギーを塔に送ってしまったり、酷いときになると 常時漏洩している状態になり、体調不良を引き起す.

The Reyvateils can absorb a special material called Grathnode inside of their bodies to increase the power of their Song Magic. However, forcing them to undergo this process causes a great damage to them. Inside of the bodies of the Reyvateils, there is a mechanism called the LEM* (Life Extending Mechanism), and the Checksum, one of its component parts, has the function of regulating the flow of magic from the Tower inside of the Reyvateil. The Grathnode Crystals derail the evaluation criteria of the Checksum, allowing the Tower to send more energy than what the organism really needs, which, in the worst cases, usually ends leaking out into the body, causing a great number of health problems.

TN: The original acronym was NEE, but since we couldn't figure out a phrase that sticked to it and sounded natural, I ended opting to change it.

Origins
オリジン 管理者を作るためのα試験 で生成された3体のレーヴァ テイル. 音科学によって創ら れた人工生命体で、構成物質 はタンパク質起源の人間相当 なモノだが、その根底 (精神 基底周波数=魂)の部分は音 でできている. 詩を紡いで魔 法を放つとき、そのリソース は精神の深部を経由してアル トネリコから供給される.

The 3 α-type Reyvateils, made with the purpose of becoming the Tower Administrators. They are artificial life-forms created thanks to Sound Science, and the substances that make up their bodies are the same as proteins of the human body, but their main parts (the Spiritual Wave Frequency = Soul) are made out from Sounds. When they craft and use a Song, they take the resources for its execution directly from Ar tonelico, through the deepest parts of their minds.

β-types
β試験 レーヴァテイルには、人間 を凌駕する能力が幾つもあ る. そこで国は兵器としての レーヴァテイルの研究 『β試 験』を開始した. オリジンのク ローンを量産し、それを戦闘 要員として塔内に配備する. β試験で作られた個体にもオ リジンと同等の能力が備わっ ていたが、パワーはかなり劣 り、寿命も短いものであった. The abilities of the Reyvateils surpassed humans' greatly. Therefore, the government decided to begin researching how to create Reyvateils designed to be used as weapons, the [β-types]. They were mass produced clones of the Origins, and they were deployed in the inner areas of the Tower as important war personnel. Each individual β-type was designed to be equal to the Origins in power and abilities, but actually, their powers were somewhat inferior to the Origins', as their life spans also were.

Hymmnos
ヒュムノス レーヴァテイルが謳える詩 は2種類. 『塔の力を得 て使う魔法詩』と『塔を制御 するための詩』である. 前者 は攻撃や回復などの通常魔法 で、レーヴァテイルならば誰 でも使える. 後者は塔の再起 動などシステム制御を行くうも ので、謳うには正式な認証が いる. 認証条件の一つは、塔 のデータベースに登録された 正式なレーヴァテイルである 証『ヒュムネコード』をもつ こと. もう一つは、そのヒ ュムノスを謳う許可がるこ と. 謳えるヒュムノスを増や すには、ヒュムネクリスタル を用いる. それをレーヴァテ イルに持たせ、契約の呪文に ヒュムネコードを織り交ぜる ことで『ヒュムノス(制御詩)』 を許可することができる.

There are two kinds of songs that a Reyvateil can sing. These are [Songs that use the power of the Tower to execute magic], and [Songs for Controlling the Tower]. The former are common attack and recovery magic, that any Reyvateil is able to use. The latter are Songs capable of system control actions such as rebooting the Tower, and to sing them, the Reyvateil needs to fulfill a special condition. That condition is being registered in the Tower's database, and the proof of that is the Reyvateil having an official identifier called the [Hymn Code]. And for adding new hymns so the Reyvateil can sing them, the Hymn Crystals are used. If a Reyvateil possesses that identifier, agrees to perform the ceremony that requires her Hymn Code, and accepts the song that she is receiving, the [Hymmnos (Control Song)], she will be able to execute these songs.

Eleno and Shurelia


エレノとシュレリア エレノは『エオリア』を失った愛娘の名で呼び、神経節接続の苦しみに耐 える彼女に心から愛を注いだ. シュレリアは塔内でエレノと遊ぶことが楽し みで、特に中枢部分に近い『原初のオルゴール』からのエネルギー伝送ルー トは心地良いらしく、そこへ出かけることを喜んだ. エレノは許可を得て彼 女を神経節接続の部屋へと連れて行く. そこは小さく粗末な木で作ら れた部屋で、沢山の歯車とシャフトに囲まれた一枚の ディスクオルゴールがあった. シュレリアは至高の幸せを 感じ『帰りたくない』と初めてのわがままを言った. 二 人はその日この部屋に泊まり夜を明した. 頭を撫でら れながら眠るその顔は今まで見た中で一番幸せそうで、 エレノはこの幸せがいつか、彼女に訪れ続けるように と心から願った. 神経節接続を始めて2年、シュレ リア満6歳の時、いつからか "おとうさん" と呼ば れるようになっていたエレノは、彼女にオルゴー ルのペンダントをプレゼントした. 原初のオルゴ ールの曲、それは先祖が娘に誕生日プレゼントと して作曲したあの曲. シュレリアはエレノに抱き ついていて喜び、曲に合わせて踊ったり、嬉しそうに 『どう？似合う？』と聞いてみたりした. その後、接 続の際にオルゴールをかけるようになると、以前より も随分と楽しになったようだった. 『接続術はすごく幸 いけど、おとうさんがいるから頑張れるよ』と微笑むシュ レリアとエレノは、本当の親子のようになっていた.

Eleno called [Eolia] by the name of his beloved lost daughter, and he began loving her from the bottom of his heart, so she could bear the pain of being connected to the Tower. Eleno took Shurelia to play and have fun inside of the Tower, but the area of the core, where the [Orgel of Origins] was located, and the route it had for sending energy, were her favorite places, and these excursions always made her happy. Eleno got permission for bringing her to that room whenever he was to connect her to the Tower. It was an small and rustic room made from wood, and in the middle of it, surrounded by countless shafts and gears, there was a small disc-type orgel. Shurelia felt so happy when she entered in that room for the first time, that it also made her ask something selfish for the first time: [I don't wanna go back]. And that day, they decided to stay in that room for the night. The face that Shurelia had when Eleno gently touched it while she slept was the happiest he had seen on her until now, and he wished with all his heart that she could continue being as happy as she was in that moment. The tower connection took 2 years, and when Shurelia's 6th birthday came, Eleno gave to her an orgel pendant as a present. It played the melody of the Orgel of Origins, the same melody that Eleno's ancestor composed for his daughter on her birthday. Overjoyed, Shurelia hugged Eleno, and began to dance to the rhythm of the pendant's melody. She looked so happy that it sounded as if she asked [How I look? It suits me?]. After that, even if during the connection sessions she couldn't make the Orgel play, at least they became more enjoyable than before. [Even if the connection methods are very painful, I'll do my best for you, dad], when Shurelia said that to Eleno while showing a ear-to-ear smile, it was apparent that they had turned into real father and daughter.

The Grathnode Inferia
グラスノスインフェリア ソル. クラスタ極西紛争後も、増幅塔アルトネリコ は何度か破壊の危機にさらされた. だが、絶対の防衛 網をもち、すべての魔力の源となっていた塔を破壊す ることは難しかった. そこでエル. デュエルは、塔を 無力化させ、その後に乗っとる手段を考案した. エル. デュエルに住み、技術革新に多大な貢献をしているテ ルを使う作戦である. テルはテレポート、テレパツー などの術を持ち、彼らが塔の内部に入のはたやすい ことであった. 必要な訓練と知識を身につけた者たち 16人が、アルトネリコの工作に遣された. 彼らは グラスノ盤に通じる導力ラインを破壊し、アルトネリ コを沈黙させた. だが、それこそが悲劇の始まりだった. 塔は魔力を 外に放出できなくなったものの、力自体は生み続けた. 行き場を失った力は暴走し、繊細なグラスノ盤を護る ための『アーデルベルグ緩衝帯』を麻痺させ、更けに大 気吸収とスパークによってグラスノ盤に過負荷を発生 させた. 結果グラスノ盤は粉々に砕け散り、それと同 時にこの世界全体を揺らすほどのソニックブームが襲 った. 放出されたエネルギーはプラスマの海『ブラス トライン』を形成し、ソニックブームは大地を粉々に 砕け『死の雲海』を形成した. これが後年、"グラスノ インフェリア"と言われる大惨事の全貌である.

Even after the war, Sol Cluster tried many times to destroy the amplification tower Ar tonelico. Still, because of the absolute defense network of the Tower, it was very hard to even approach to the systems that originated magic, not to mention trying to destroying them. Because of that, El Duel, in its attempts to shut down the tower, planned another strategy after the war. They decided to use the Teru that were living in Sol Cluster for this plan, who played a very significant role in the technological advancement of the last years. Using their Teleporting abilities, they easily infiltrated in the inner zones of the tower. 16 Teru, all with important knowledge and skills about the towers, were dispatched. Then, they destroyed the power line that went up to the Grathnode Discs, thinking that this act would silence Ar tonelico.

However, that only was the beginning of the worst tragedy in this world's story. The Tower was no longer able to release magical power to the exterior, but the power continued gushing out from it. Without a destination, the power went out of control, rendering useless the extremely delicate system that protected the Grathnode Discs, the [Ardelberg Buffer Band], and the resultant atmospheric absorption and sparks quickly caused an overload in them. The consequences of this were that the Grathnode Discs shattered to small pieces, and at the same time, the sonic booms impacted the entire world. The released energy formed a Plasma sea, the [Blastline], and the sonic booms shattering the land formed the [Sea of Death]. This enormous catastrophe came to be known as the "Grathnode Inferia" years later.

=The Second Era= 第二紀 未曾有の悲劇が起こり、世界から大地と空が消えた時代. だが人々はまだ大惨事 前の高度な技術を保有し、さらに高度な文明を築くべく邁進していた.

Because of an unprecedented tragedy, in this era both the sky and the land disappeared from the world. However, the people still kept the advanced technology they had before the great catastrophe, and furthermore, they worked so hard that they ended building one of the most advanced civilizations on history.

The World After the Catastrophe
惨事後の世界 ソル シェルの残された人々は、死の雲海より上の 世界『ホルスの翼』を拠点に、新たな世界を築いた. こ の新都市は『ネオ エレミア』と呼ばれた. 最高評議会 が発足し、シュレリアが新たな音科学のシステム "シル ヴァホルン" を設計して詩を魔導力に変換する機能を塔 に蘇らせると、世界に豊かさがもどってきた. 科学力がかなり復活すると、人々はアルトネリコを再 起動でないかという考えを持ち始めた. そんなある日、 人々はどこからか湧き出た怪物に襲われた. そして、その 原因は、『進化生命の研究を行う浮遊大陸』すなわちホ ルスの翼の存在自体にあった. 見たこともない異形の者、 その強さに人々は為す術もなく衰退していく. この事態 にシュレリアはある決断を下した. 当時一般人には知ら れていなかった『レーヴァテイル』の公表である. 彼女 が作ったベータ純血種のレーヴァテイルは、異形の者た ちを駆逐した. 人々は次々にレーヴァテイルを作り、医 療や警備、人命救助など様々な分野で活躍させた. だが 人々は、人類よりも優れたーヴァテイルが、すべての 権力を掌握するのではないかという危機感を抱き始め、 第二紀最強にして感情も意志ももたぬレーヴァテイル ミュールを誕生させた. それはレーヴァテイルたちを激 怒させ、人間対レーヴァテイルの戦争が勃発した. シュレリアは人々に話し合いと平和を呼びかけたが、 人間側は話し合いの場で彼女を拘束し、ミュールのよう な従順な個体となるように彼女を『処理』しようとした. 彼らの計算は間違っていた. 確かに誕生時のミュールに は感情がなかったが、時が経つに連れて感情が芽生え、 人間に対する憎悪を募らせていた. ミュールはシルヴァ ホルンの全機能を掌握すると、即時に人類への攻撃を 開始し、シュレリアを救い出した. しかし助けられたシュ レリアは、ホルスの右翼を落とし多くの命を奪ったミュー ルと戦う決意をする. テル族の少女タスティエーラの力 によミュールの肉体を封じたものの、ミュールはウイ ルス体『シャドウ』となり攻撃を続けた. シャドウの動 きを封じるため、タスティエーラは我の身を犠牲にして、 魔法機械『クレスントクロニクル』を創造し、レーヴァ テイル リューンが『クロニクルキー』を謳うことでシ ャドウを停止させるに到った. 世界は静寂を取りもどし、『シャドウ』の封印に恊力 した人間とテル族の人々は、惨劇をくり返さないよう『エレ ミア誓約書』という取り決めを生みだした. そして音 科学の使用停止を願ったシュレリアは、新しい技術体系 『グラスメルク』を確立した.

The people that still remained on Sol Ciel ended relocating in the world over the Sea of Death, the floating continent [Wings of Horus], and built a new world. The new capital of this world was called [Neo Elemia]. The Supreme Council, voiced through Shurelia, announced that a new sound science system called the "Silver Horn" was planned to be built as part of the plan to restore the magic energy conversion faculties to the Tower, and restore the world to its former prosperity.

The power of the sound science was restored by a great margin, but the people didn't thought about proceeding with the restoration project for Ar tonelico, and instead began to come up with other ways of using it. And in a certain day, many monsters appeared and began attacking the people. Their origin was [The Investigation for Evolution of Life in the Floating Continent], which itself was part of the investigation that made possible the creation of the Wings of Horus. These abnormal creatures were so awful that no one was able to look at them, and their strength was so great that humans seemed to be doomed. Under these circumstances Shurelia came to a decision. During these days, the knowledge of [Reyvateils] wasn't made public, so the normal people didn't know anything about them. Shurelia made the first Pureblooded Beta-type Reyvateils, and they defeated the abnormal creatures. Then the people began making one Reyvateil after other, bringing a lot of activity to fields like medicine, defense and rescuing, and many others.

However, with the great increase in the numbers of the Reyvateils, the humans feared that the normally gentle Reyvateils would try to seize the total control of the government, and under that time enshrouded in feelings of impeding disaster, the strongest Reyvateil of the Second Era, Mir, was born. Her great power came at the cost of removing her free will and emotions, act which greatly enraged the Reyvateils, and they declared war to the Humans. Shurelia called the people to a summit to try to preserve peace, but as soon as she got to the place where said act was supposed to take place, she was captured, and her captors tried to apply to her the process to "tame" the Reyvateils to make her similar to Mir. But they dmade a miscalculation in their plans. Mir didn't have feelings since her birth, however, with the passing of time, her feelings sprouted by themselves, and she began to hate humans more and more. Mir overtook the control of all of the functions of the Silver Horn, and immediately, she began using it to attack the humans and rescue Shurelia.

However, Shurelia, after her rescue, saw the extreme measures that Mir had taken, including the drop of the right Wing of Horus, taking thousands of lives with it, and decided to fight against her. With the powers of a Teru girl, Tastiella, Mir's body was sealed, but she just turned into a virus life form called [Shadow], and continued her attacks. In order to seal Shadow's movements, Tastiella had to sacrifice her body to create the magical machine [Crescent Chronicle], while the Reyvateil Lune sang the [Chronicle Key] Hymn to stop Shadow.

The world was at peace again, and to avoid anything that could reawaken [Shadow], and avoid the repetition of these tragedies, the humans and Teru signed a pact called the [Covenant of Elemia]. And because Shurelia pleaded for the use of Sound Science to be banned, a new technology system called [Grathmeld] was established.

In the Other Side of the Great Catastrophe
大惨事の裏で グラスノスインフェリアの最中、シュレリアは暴れくねるアルトネリコの制 御で必死だった. パラメノルーム(無音室)に一人にもり、詩を謳い続ける. しかし結線が不完全な彼女には、塔の下の状況が把握できず、ひたすらブー スターから送られてくる魔導力を右へ左へと拡散させ、グラスノス盤に届くエ ネルギー分散させるしか術がなかった. それも限界があり、グラスノス盤は 次々と砕け散る. シュレリアの体力も限界に達したとき、魔導力の流れが止 んだ. よかった...という思いと共に倒れ込むシュレリアを支えたのは、エ レノの直属の部下である技術者ロヴァルだった. ロヴァルはシュレリアを背 負い塔を登った. シュレリアは失いそうになる意識の中で言った. 『ねえ... どすして人は争うの...？』ロヴァルの肩は濡れていた. シュレリアは目覚 めたとき、ロヴァルは結末と現状を無感情に説明し、エレノがブースターの 制御のために下に残った、とだけ伝えた. シュレリアは愕然とし、三日三晩 泣いた. ロヴァルはその間、自分の時間は全てシュレリアの側にいてあげた. シュレリアは立ち直り始め、少しばかり笑顔も見せ始めた頃、ロヴァルはシ ュレリアに1つの願を伝えた. 『最高評議会に来てほしいです』と.

In the middle of the Grathnode Inferia, Shurelia lost control of the power of Ar tonelico, and it almost spelt certain death for her. She was secluded inside of the Parameno Room (a sound-proof chamber) for her protection, and she kept on singing a song inside of it.

Even if her connection to the Tower was still incomplete, she could still know and feel what was happening in the lower zones of the Tower, where the Booster was sending rampaging magic power all over the land, while the energy that reached the Grathnode Discs was dispersed all over. And when they finally reached their limits, the Grathnode Discs shattered one by one. When Shurelia's body was about to reach the limit, the magical power stopped flowing. "I'm glad...", that was the last thing that Shurelia thought as her consciousness faded away, and fell in the arms of Eleno's direct subordinate engineer, Rovar. He climbed the Tower only to make sure that Shurelia was all right. During her unconsciousness, Shurelia said something. [Hey... Why people fight each other...?] Rovar's was carrying her at that moment, and his shoulders got very wet. Once Shurelia regained consciousness, Rovar had to explain to her everything that had happened, so she wouldn't be kept out from the current events. The first thing was that Eleno stayed in the lower zones of the Tower to try to keep to Booster from going out from control. When Shurelia heard that, she was a shocked, and then broke up and cried long, during three days and three nights. During that time, Rovar was beside her, and spent all his time consoling Shurelia.

When Shurelia began to recover, she began smiling little by little, and in that time, Rovar asked her a request. "Please, I want you to come and be part of the Supreme Council".

The Supreme Council and the Peace Conferences
最高評議会と平和宣言 最高評議会は、大惨事中に避難してきた人々と、元々ホルスの翼 に住んでいた人々の話し合いの場として作られたである. 初代 頭首は時の大統領フロプト イーヴァルディであり、100人ほど の議員によって構成されていた. 当初は惨事の責任の所在の追及な ど、後ろ向きに話が進む場であったが、大統領の官僚時代直属の部 下ニース レギンという青年の発言で一変. 彼は、1日も早い復興 を考えるのが大切だと訴えて皆を叱咤激励し、技術者陣の有望株と して出席していたロヴァル ローニも同意して立ち上がった. そし てある日、何回目かの議会で、シュレリアは意を決して壇上にに立つ た. 塔のシステムをほとんど知っていた彼女は、新たな音科学のシ ステム "シルヴァホルン" を設計していたのである. それは誰もが 端末なしで直接歌を唄い、魔導サービスを受けられるシステムであ った. 『私の中にはアルトネリコのシステムの知識と、十数%の結 線が生きています. この知識を元に私が図面を引き、それを作れる 人たちと一緒に作れるのなら、この世界に音科学をリブートさせる ことができると思います. ......でもひとつだけお願いがります. この新しい音科学の力を、絶対に人を傷つけるためには使わないで ください』. その言葉に、大統領フロプトが拍手した. 次第にその 輪は広がり、会場は拍手に包まれた. 大統領はその場で彼女に、音 科学を争いのためではなく平和のために使っていくことを約束した. そうして、避難してきた技術者や、新たな音科学論を勉強した者た ちを募り、シルヴァホルンの建設が始まったのである.

The Supreme Council was formed by the people that could receive refugee during the great catastrophe, and from the very start, it was created as a place in which the inhabitants of the Wings of Horus could discuss their problems. Its first president was also the one that was the president of Elemia at that time: Fropth Yivardi, and it was formed by around 100 members.

At first, its duty was to find the causes that triggered the catastrophe, and then it advanced more when, at a certain time, the president thought of fusing it with the rest of the bureaucracy, but one of his direct subordinates, a man called Neath Reghin, made an speech that made the president change his mind. He thought in less than one day the best ways that he could use to tell everyone that the council was very important, and it appealed to the people so much that they encouraged him, and a big contingent of engineers, Rovar Lony between them, stood up for him as well. Then, a certain day, after many times attending to the council reunions, Shurelia decided to stand up in the podium. She had the knowledge of all the systems of the Tower inside her, and she had designed a new Sound Science system called the "Silver Horn" from that knowledge. That was a system that would allow everyone to sing Songs directly without needing an interface terminal, and it would service all the magic power it would receive. "Inside of myself is the knowledge of all the systems of Ar tonelico, and I have a very high percentage of direct connection to them. In that knowledge, there are blueprints I made myself, and I want everyone to create what is depicted in them with me, and if we do it, I think that it would mean the reboot of Sound Science in the world... However, I have only one request to make about it.

Please, absolutely don't use this new form of Sound Science power for the sake of hurting anyone], President Fropth replied to these words with clapping, and gradually, the council room was filled with applauses. Then, the president himself promised to Shurelia that the new system would not be used for war, it would be used for peace. So then, the remaining engineers, and the students of Sound Science theory were recruited for making the new Sound Science system, and the construction of the Silver Horn began.

Shurelia's Depression
シュレリアの憂鬱 シュレリアは評議会の2人の男性と友情. その2人の うち、大統領フロプトの部下冒険家のニーズが気になりはじ めてくるが、彼にとってシュレリアは妹のような存在に過ぎず、 彼女に恋したのはシルヴァホルン設計主任のロヴァルだった. 時が経ち、ニーズは2代大統領になると3人の思い出の地 追 憶の尾翼に空港を作り、後任の大統領を立てて世界の果てへと 旅立っていた. 空港はかつてロヴァルとニーズ自身が反対し 建設を中止させたものだったため、ニースを大好きだったシュ レリアはショックのあまり彼と顔を合わせられなくなってい た. 口もきかず怒ったまま、ニーズの旅立ちの日に一言も声を かけられなかった自分自身すら理解できず、この時初めて人間 関係で心に傷を作った. その後シュレリアは、人への愛を失っ たわけではないが、あまり人と深く関わることをしなくなった. Shurelia made friends with two of the men of the Council. One of them was one adventurer that also was a direct subordinate to President Fropth, Neath. Shurelia began to care for him deeply, and to Neath, Shurelia was like a little sister. And she as was in love with the man that was leading the construction plans for the Silver Horn, which was Rovar.

As time passed, Neath turned into the second President of the Council, and together with other three people, he built an airport in the Tail of Reminiscence, but he had to be succeeded when he departed on a journey to the ends of the world. This was because Rovar and Neath themselves were in disagreement about the suspension of the building of the airport, and this was so shocking to his beloved Shurelia that she couldn't look him in the face after this. She was so angry, that the day of Neath's departure, she didn't want to say even a word to him, and she understood for the first time, how the human relationships could carve scars in the heart. After that, Shurelia didn't lose the capacity of loving anyone, but she didn't want to establish a close relationship to anyone again either.

How Shurelia and Tastiella Met
シュレリアとタスティエーラの出会い ニーズの想いが抑えきれないほどに膨らんでいた頃に、シュレリア はとても苦しみ、しかしなぜか幸せにしばらく過ごした. 次第に切りな い気持ちが大きくなる心. 彼女は一人で追憶の尾翼に来ることが多く なっていた. 半分ほどできかけたシルヴァホルンを見上げながらぼー っとする日々. シュレリアは日々いろいろな音科学のシステムを設計 するのが仕事だったが、最近はすごくぶるベースが落ちていた. そんなある日、追憶の尾翼で寝転がぼーっと空とホルンを眺め ていると、何かが視界をさえぎった. それは『テル』と言われている 種族. テルはホウキにまたがり、ウサギのように細い目で言った. 『もーしー、お嬢さん. よろしければ何が食べ物くださいな...』 シュレリアはそのテルに自分のお昼のお弁当をあげた (食べなくて も生きられるが、昔よくお弁当を作って "おとうさん" とピクニック に行ったので、そうするのが好きだった). と、シュレリアはあるこ とに気が対た. テルはいつも小妖精と一緒にいるはずだ. しかしこ のテルには妖精がいない. 『あれ？ 小妖精は？』 何気ないシュレ リアの言葉にテルは吹き出した. 『いや、それが......あたしまだ見習いで、今相方を捜している最中 なんだ....... 他の子達はみんなだいたい30日くらいで見つけれられる みたいなんだけど、あたしも70日間も飲まず食わずで旅しても見 つからなくて......なかなかあたしになついてくれる子がいないんだよ ねー......』テルは激しく食べながらそう言った. この子は落ちこぼれ らしい. シュレリアは呟いた. 『それじゃ、たぶん私と一緒だね. 』 『え？ 一緒って、なにが？』 シュレリアの何気ない言葉に再びビ ックリするテル. 『相方に振り向かいてもらえないところ. 私、シュレ リア. あなたは？』『あ、あたしはタスティエーラ. 』 タスティエー ラはシュレリアとしばらく話をした後、去り際に言った. 『相方見つけて一人前になったら、シュレリアの "相方" 探すの手 伝ってあげる！』 シュレリアはなんだか急に恥ずかしくなってブンブ ン首を振る. 『い、いいよ！別に！......一応、その......毎日会ってるか ら！』『......？』タスティエーラはしばらく考えたが、ようやく意味 がわかり、にっこり笑っていた. 『わかった！好きな人がいるのね~！いいわぁ~青春ねー！遠慮 しないでいいって！それならその恋をこのおねーさんが叶えてあげ るわ！なんたって、あたしはテルなんだか！』『い、いいよ......(な んか......急におねーさんになったよ......)』『よーし、そうと決まれば あたしもすぐにでも相方つかまえなくちゃ！あっと、お弁当ありが とー！この恩は一生忘れないわ！それじゃねー！』シュレリアの 話しも半分に、タスティエーラは飛んでいってしまった. シュレリア はただただ言葉もなく赤い顔で見送るしかなかった. 数日して、飛竜を肩に乗せたタスティエーラが現れた. タスティエ ーラは誰との恋愛成就を願っているのか迫ったが、シュレリアは明か さなかった. そのかわり何か別のお願いをすることがあるかもしれな と言った. タスティエーラはシュレリアにぺンタアングルという星 形の楽器を渡し、必要ならそれを鳴らして、と言って去った. When the feelings that Shurelia had for Neath swelled up to the point she couldn't keep them under control, she began to suffer a lot, but somehow, she still spent a little more of time being happy. Gradually, her inability to cut off these feelings only made them occupy more space in her heart. She began to got to the Tail of Reminiscence alone, and went there a lot of times. She usually would spent a lot of her time there gazing up to the Silver Horn, absentmindedly. Shurelia had been planning various sound science systems during various days, as part of her job, but in these days, she was losing a lot of her motivation.

And a certain day, while she was dazed in the Tail of Reminiscence, contemplating the sky and the Silver Horn, something that appeared suddenly in her field of vision snapped her out from daze. It was a person from the race called the [Teru]. The Teru was riding a broom, and Shurelia said that she had thin eyes, like the ones of the rabbits.

[Hi~, young lady. If you please could give something to eat...] Shurelia gave to that Teru her own lunch box (If I don't eat; I'll still live, plus, this reminds me of the lunch boxes that my "father" used to make for me, and of the picnics we used to go to... I really loved them). That was what Shurelia had realized in that moment. The Teru are supposed to be always accompanied by an small fairy. However, this particular Teru didn't have a fairy. [Huh? And your fairy?] The Teru bursted into laughter when she heard Shurelia's casual speech style.

[Well, that's... I'm still an apprentice, and I'm currently in the middle of searching for my familiar... It looks like all the other kids have found them in about 30 days after they started, but I have been searching for it during 70 days, and from a little time ago, I ran out of the food and water I had for my journey... Looks like I'm not a girl that any familiar want to be attached to...] the Teru girl began to eat much more excitedly after saying these words. Shurelia whispered that the girl seemed like a dropout. [Then, what about if we stay together?] [Huh? DId you say to be together, but why?] Shurelia's casual way of speech again surprised the Teru girl. [Only in case you can't find a familiar. I am Shurelia. And you are?] [I-I am Tastiella.] Tastiella and Shurelia kept on talking for a little while more, until she said it was time for her to go.

[I need to find my familiar by myself to become an adult, and I'll also help Shurelia to look for her "familiar"!]. Shurelia was a little embarrassed and shook her head while humming. I-It's OK! It's not that! ...It's only... that I want to meet with you everyday!] [...?] Tastiella thought it for a little while, and once she understood what Shurelia meant, she began leaping joyfully, and smiled sweetly.

[All right! There's a person I really like now~! It's okay~ young one~! But don't be so reserved! If you do it, then your big sister will grant you her love! And that's because I am Teru!] [I-it's OK... (How... quick she became an older sister...)] [All~ right~, if that's settled, then I have to go and search for my familiar now! And a lot of thanks for the lunch! I'll remember this favor during all my life! See you later!] While she said this to Shurelia, Tastiella began to fly, and then, she went away.

Shurelia stood still in there, without saying anything and her face red, because she didn't want to say good-bye to Tastiella yet.

Some days later, Tastiella appeared with a little winged dragon perched in her shoulder. But, even if she had realized the wishes for love of a certain someone, Shurelia didn't reveal that they got closer by other ways. That maybe was other request she had made. Tastiella gave to Shurelia an star-shaped musical instrument called the Pentangle, and told Shurelia to play it whenever she needed her, and she would come to her.

Mir's Birth


Page 67: ミュールの誕生 異形の者の脅威に立ち向かうため、シュレ リアは人々に『ベータ純血種』の作り方を教え たが、ベータ純血種の人口がうなぎ登りに 増えると、彼女は一抹の不安を覚えた. 『音科 学を戦争や暴力のために使わないでほしい』 と願い、その約束は異形の者に対するそれを 除いては、守り続けられている. だが、彼女 は気づかぬこところで裏切られていた. 意志と 感情を持たぬレーヴァテイル. ミュールの誕 生. シュレリアが受けたショックは大きかっ た. ミュールは第二紀という時代において、 人々に最高の居住環境と生活レベルを提供し た. ミュールの都市基盤管理、気候制御など、 アメニティは完壁であり、人々はなに不自由 なく暮らしていけたのである. 人々はミュー ルを讃えた. 『システム』として. 道具として. そしてミュールと同じ生命体である他のレー ヴァテイルの見方や扱いも、次第に同様の ものとなっていた. その根底には、人類よ りもあらゆる面で優秀な生命体であるレーヴ ァテイルに対する『恐れ』があった. To deal with the threat of the abnormal beings, Shurelia taught to the people the method for creating the [Pure-Blood Beta-type Reyvateils], but how the Betas were propagated so much among the people made her feel a great anxiety.

[Please, don't use the Sound Science for the sake of warfare or violence] that was what she wished, and fighting against the abnormal beings was an exception to that promise, since it was to continue protecting everyone. However, she soon realized that the people had betrayed that promise. Because of the birth of Mir, the Reyvateil without free will or emotions. Shurelia received quite a shock from this. Thanks to Mir, during the age called the Second Era, the people lived on the best environment, and had the best life quality. In the area that was under Mir's administration, the weather was always regulated to be good, and there was a complete amenity. The people praised Mir... but only as a [System]... only as a tool. And then, after seeing the results with Mir, they desired to turn all the other Reyvateils into life forms similar to her, and gradually began to do it. And the roots for the events that occurred later on, were that the humans began to look to the Reyvateils as superior life forms, and began [fearing] them.

Reyvateil Control
レーヴァテイルコントロール ミュールを創り出した人間に、レーヴァテイル達はしだいに激しい怒りを露わに し、 事態は人間とレーヴァテイルとの戦争状態に突入した. 人間側に、反抗するレー ヴァテイルを『旧式』と呼び、ミュールを筆頭とする感情を持たない新しいレー ヴァテイルを率いて、反抗する『旧式』と戦いを繰り広げていく. しかし『旧式』 の個体は当時相当な数であり、新規誕生分のレーヴァテイルを伴ってもなお、人々 はじわじわと押されていく. そして人々の代表は、ついにシルヴァホ ルンの『レーヴァテイルコントロール』を推進すること を決め、そのコントローラーとしてミュールを据えた. それは、平和や社会貢献のためではなく、レーヴァテ イルを制圧するためであった. だが人々は気づいてい なかったのである. ミュールは彼らにとっての失敗作 であるということに. ミュールは時が経つにつれ感情 がじょじょに芽生えてきていたのだ. その感情には同 族に対する憐れみと人々に対する冷徹なまでの憎悪が あった. ミュールはその明晰な頭脳と処理能力で、自 分に感情と思考が芽生えたことを隠し通す. そして 『時』をひたすら待っていたのだった. シルヴァホル ンのコントローラーとなったミュールは、ほぼ隠間 にシルヴァホルンの持つ全機能を掌握する. シル ヴァホルンを伝ってアルトネリコとも接続した彼 女はついに反乱を開始した. Mir was created by the humans, and because of it, the Reyvateils began to manifest their hatred towards the humans through violent acts, and this led to a human-Reyvateil war. The humans called the revolting Reyvateils [Oldtypes], and sent Reyvateils stripped of their emotions and wills, led by Mir, to spread conflicts between the [Oldtypes]. However, the so-called [Oldtypes] were quite numerous in these times, but the people gradually went on replacing them by the newborn Reyvateils. Finally, the representatives of the people decided to implement a [Reyvateil Control] in the Silver Horn, and set up Mir as its Controller.

That wasn't made for the sake of peace or the benefit of the society, it was only done for the purpose of completely controlling the Reyvateils. Mir was considered by them only as a complete failure. But with the passing of time, Mir began to develop emotions little by little, until they sprouted. These emotions began as compassion for everyone equally, but later on, they turned into indifference towards humans, and they finally turned into hatred. Mir was extremely intelligent, and kept concealed the development of her own emotions and judgement. She waited eagerly until the right [time] came. And when she was turned into the Controller for the Silver Horn, she almost immediately seized control of all the functions and facilities of the Silver Horn. And through the Silver Horn, she managed to link directly to Ar tonelico, and finally, she began her rebellion.

Mir's Rebellion
ミュールの反乱 シルヴァホルンは掌握したミュールの攻撃は苛烈を極めた. セキュ リティ施設、行政中枢、要所の機能が麻痺していき、ネットワークは 乱れ、人々は魔導力を使えなくなった. 人々は平和を訴えるシュレリ アを従順な個体へと『処理』しようと拘束していたため、ミュールは まずシュレリアの解析を行っていた研究施設を攻撃し、シュレリアは 全く手を付けらていなかった. 目覚めたシュレリアに、身体を伝わっ ておぞましい破壊の光景が流れ込む. その結果シュレリアから発さ れた言葉はお礼ではなかった. 『どうして...... こんなこと......』 『あなたはわたし. わたしはあなた. わたしのおこないはあなたの おこない. 』ミュールは微笑んで答えると、シルヴァホルンからアル トネリコの中枢をハッキングし、シュレリアに詩で語りかけた. 母が 子供の子守唄のような優しい詩. 瞬間、シュレリアは自分の 身体が彼女に浸食されていくような嫌悪感を感じた. 何かが握りつぶ されたような感覚が生じ、次の瞬間、ホルス右翼が崩れ去った. 呆然 とするシュレリア. そんな彼女に対してミュールは哀しそうに言った. 『あなたはヒトのミカタなのね....... どうして？』 シュレリアはハッとして我に返る. 『味方とか敵とか、そんなの無 い！』ミュールの心の内を見られたシュレリアは、とても大切な物が 奪われた気がした. 『貴方は...人の命を何だと思ってるの！？』 ミュールは答える. 『ヒトはわたしたちの "いのち" をなんだとお もってるの？』シュレリアは即答する. 『貴方にその言葉を言う権利 はない！ 今の崩落で、一体どれ程の命が亡くなったと思ってるの！？ 確に人はレーヴァテイルの生きる権利を消そうとした. でもお互い 生き続けていれば必ず分かり合える日が来た....... そう信じてた. 貴 方はその望みを消えてしまったのよ！！』 シュレリアは、世界を自身の手でコントロールしようとするミュー ルをデリートする決意をした. しかしそれはすごくにミュールに察知さ れ、戦いは始まった. 攻撃するシュレリア、たやすくかわすミュール. この時ミュールは既に塔の大半のリソースを自らと共有し、シュレリ アと同じ無根とも言える命とエネルギーを手に入れていたのである. シュレリアよりクロックの遠いミュールに対し、シュレリアはなす術 もなくやられるばかりだった. 生命力の限界まで達したとき、ある少 女との出逢いを思い出すシュレリア. 『助けが必要な時はいつでも呼んで......』 タスティエーラがいた. 箒に腰かけ、いつも見せていたようなあど けない顔はどこにもなかった. タスティエーラは、シュレリアの想い を全て受け取っていた. そして静に一つの詩を謳う. 滅多に聴くこ とができないと言われているテルの詩. ミュール次第にグラスノ結晶に変わっていく. しかしミュール は冷静だった. そして最後に微笑みながら、こう言ったのだ. 『シュレリア. あなたとわたしが持つ想いは、一見違うもののように 見えるかもしれない. だけど、あなたはわたし. わたしはあなただから 余計なものを取り除いたあなた. あなたはきっと、わたしと同じこと をする...』 After seizing the control of the Silver Horn, Mir began her attack, and she did it with the most extreme measures she could. The security facilities, the administrative sections, she paralyzed the functions of all the important facilities, disrupted the networks, and made the people unable to use any kind of magical power. The people appealed to Shurelia for restoring the peace and invited her to a reunion, but it was only to restrain her, with the only purpose of taming and [processing] her. Mir directed her attack to the research facility where Shurelia was being held and analyzed, while Shurelia was completely unable to do anything. As soon as Shurelia regained her consciousness, she was greeted with an awful scene of carnage and destruction. As a result, Mir would never receive thanks from Shurelia. [Why... something like this...]

[You are me. I am you. My actions are your actions.] Mir smiled as she replied with these words, and from the Silver Horn, she began hacking into the main area of Ar tonelico, and began conversing with Shurelia through a song. It was a gentle song, like the lullabies that the mothers sing for their children. In that moment, Shurelia felt in her body an unpleasant sensation, as if she was being corroded. She felt as if something was gripping her, and the cause became apparent immediately, because in the next few seconds, the right wing of Horus collapsed and fell into the Sea of Death.

Shurelia went completely blank. Then, she confronted Mir, with the grief spouting from each of her words. [You are a friend of the humans, right...? Then... why?]

Shurelia was taken aback by the response, but it also made her come to her senses. [A friend? An enemy? I'm not any of those!] If Shurelia could have seen the inside of Mir's heart, she would felt that something extremely important was snatched from her. [You... what do you think that the lives of the people are!?] Mir simply replied. [What do the people think that our "lives" are?] Shurelia immediately replied. [You don't have any right to say these words!

In the collapse of a moment ago, how many lives do you think you killed with it!? Sure, the people have been trying to erase the right to live for the Reyvateils. But, I'm sure that if we could continue living together the day when we would understand each other would have come... That's what I used to believe in. You have destroyed these wishes!!]

Then, Shurelia proceeded to try to regain the control of the world by herself and decided to delete Mir from it. However, that proved to be impossible, given that Mir could feel anything she tried to do, and the war began. Shurelia continually tried to attack and exterminate Mir. But in these times, Mir already had a big part of the resources of the Tower available for herself, and both were basically in a stalemate, since both had the same life force and energy available for themselves.

With the passing of the time, each time that Shurelia confronted Mir, Shurelia was unable to do any movements because Mir had already predicted what she would do. And when Shurelia was reaching her limits, she remembered a certain girl she had met.

[Whenever you need my help, please call me...] That was what Tastiella told her. Sitting her broom, the angelic face she had seen on that day looked exactly the same as then when she came to her help. Tastiella accepted all of Shurelia's feelings. And then, she calmly began to sing a song. It was something that almost no one had heard before, a song being sung by a Teru, which it was thought to be impossible. Mir gradually was encased into Grathnode Crystals. However, she stayed calm. And until the end, she kept on smiling, and said this:

[Shurelia. Both you and me have feelings, but it looks like we differ in our outlooks of the world. However, you are me. I am you, but you are an excess part I have to remove and delete. I will certainly turn you into a part of me, so we both can be one...]

Special A Class Virus, Codename "Shadow"
Page 70:

特A級情報ウイルス体"シャドウ"

ミュールはグラスノ結晶にされる瞬間、精神世界を経由してシ ルヴァホルンを越え、アルトネリコに自らの精神体を移した. 塔 内に寄生するウイルスとなり、攻撃を再開したのである. この情 報ウイルス体となったミュールは『シャドウ』と呼ばれた. そし てシュレリアはテルと共にシャドウ対策にのりだした. シャドウをデリートする最も単純な手法は、塔の導力を完全に 断ち切ること. しかしそうすれば、ホルスの翼も落ち、気候も 気圧も人の住めるものではなくなる. 一瞬たりとも導力を切ること はできない. サーチしてデバックするなどの手法ではどれも良い 結果は得られず、その間も塔はハッキングされ続け、人々は攻撃 されていた. 対策は既に誰も思いつなくなっていた. タスティ エーラは険しい顔をして口を開いた. 『一つだけ方法はあるよ. でも......シュレリア、私達はこの世 界の終焉まで、封印を護り続ける宿命を背負うことになる......』 こうして作られたのが『クレセントクロニクル』である.

In the instant that Mir was encased into Grathnode Crystals, via the Silver Horn, she transferred her entire soulspace into Ar tonelico. Inside of the Tower, she turned into a parasitic virus, and resumed her attacks. The virus in which Mir had turned was codenamed as "[Shadow]". Then, Shurelia, together with the Teru, began searching for countermeasures to combat Shadow.

The easiest method for deleting Shadow was completely shutting down the Tower and all of its systems and energy sources. However, if they did that, the Wings of Horus would have fallen into the Sea of Death, and the shutdown of the Musical Corridor would have made the climate and atmospheric pressure unbearable for the people and any other life form. They realized immediately that it wouldn't be possible to shutdown the Tower. And the search and debugging methods they were trying didn't produce any positive results, and during that time, the Tower continued being hacked, and the people continued being attacked. Everyone thought that it was too late for a counterattack. Until Tastiella, putting a grim face, said the following words.

[We have only one method now. But... Shurelia, until the day this world ends, I'll be fated to carry a burden, one that will turn into the seal that will continue to protect this world...] And thus, the [Crescent Chronicle] was created.

The Crescent Chronicle


クレセントクロニクル

魔法機械クレセントクロニクルは、人間とテルの最後の合作で ある. シャドウは塔内に移動した後にもグラスノ結晶化したミュ ールとつながっており、それは肉体を通じてシャドウにハッキン グできることを意味した. クレセントクロニクルは、ミュールの 身体へアクセスし、その先にいるシャドウをHALT (停止)させ るワクチングシステムであった. 設計したのはタスティエーラとシ ュレリアだったが、シュレリアはこのシステムのすべてを把握で きず、実質タスティエーラが設計したようなものである. そしてタスウティエーラは己の身を捧げ、この装置のプログラム そのものとなった. 自ら生け贄に志願するようなものだ. し かし、超高遠に塔の中を動き回るシャドウをバインドするには、 誰かがこの役目を背負わねばならない. 彼女はこの後数百年にはわ たり、クレセントクロニクルの中でシャドウと対峙し続ける.

The magical machine Crescent Chronicle was the last thing built by the collaborative efforts of humans and Teru. That Shadow had moved to the inside of the Tower after Mir's sealing inside Grathnode crystals, meant that Mir's body was still in contact with Shadow by some way, and that allowed it to continue hacking.

The function of the Crescent Chronicle is basically being a watch system that, whenever Shadow tries to do something, it accesses to Mir's body, and from there, it completely halts Shadow. The planning of this system was made by Shurelia and Tastiella, but given that Shurelia wasn't able to understand completely this system, Tastiella was essentially the one that designed it.

And so, Tastiella sacrificed her own body, and became the main program for this system. It was like herself had chosen to volunteer as a sacrifice. However, this super noble action should have allowed to bind and restrain Shadow's movements and revolving inside of the Tower, so no one else would have to carry that burden. Tastiella, as the following centuries passed on, was always inside of the Crescent Chronicle, continuing to confront and hold Shadow.

The Pureblood Beta-type "Lune"
ベータ純血種"リューン"

クレセントクロニクルの謳い手とい重大な使命を任せられたのが、当時ミュー ルの次に力がると言われていたレーヴァテイル『リューン』だった. リューンは この役目を受け、定期的にクレセントクロニクルで歌い続けることになった. こ の任務に就くレーヴァテイルのことを『星詠』と呼んだ. しかしリューンとてレー ヴァテイルベータ純血種. 寿命もある. 世代を超えて未来永劫謳うことが必要とさ れたクレセントクロニクルの歌い手は、代々受け継いでいかなければならない. 継 承は『ヒュムノス』の受け渡しによって行れる. 後任の星詠は、そのヒュムノス 『クロニクルキー』をダウンロードし、その詩をクレセントクロニクルで謳うことで、 使命を全うできるのである. リューンの遺伝子は保管され、定期的に新たなリュー ンを生み出していくこととなった. クレセントクロニクルによりシャドウの攻撃は止み、この地は静寂を取り戻した. 残ったのは破壊された文明、堕ちた大陸、そして僅がばかりの人々とレーヴァテ イル. シャドウの封印に協力した技術者とテルの民は、惨劇が二度とくり返され ぬよう、『エレミア誓約書』 (-> P. 86)という取り決めっ書を生み出した.

The singer of the Crescent Chronicle had a very important entrusted to her, and in these times, it was assigned to the Reyvateil that was called the second most powerful one after Mir. That Reyvateil was [Lune]. When she received this task, she understood that she would be continuing to sing inside of the Crescent Chronicle all the time. The Reyvateil that took on that role was called since then the [Hoshiyomi (Star Singer)]. However, Lune was still only a Pure Blood Beta-type Reyvateil. One that had a limited life span.

And since the Crescent Chronicle would need a new singer with the passing of time, given that Lune didn't have an eternal life, it couldn't be helped that the role had to be inherited later on. That inheritance was given through the delivery of an [Hymmnos] to the new singer. The successor Hoshiyomi would download that Hymmnos, called the [Chronicle Key], and would be given the task of continue singing that song inside of the Crescent Chronicle, as much as her body would be able to resist. Lune's genes were preserved and safeguarded, and at fixed intervals of time, a new Lune Reyvateil was created from them.

Thanks to the Crescent Chronicle, Shadow's attacks could be stopped, and the peace returned to this land. But what was left from the war was a destroyed civilization, a continent that was half-dropped into the Sea of Death, and a relatively small number of humans and Reyvateils. The seal for Shadow was built by the cooperation between human engineers and the Teru people, and to make sure that the tragedy didn't repeat itself, they agreed to create a document with the guidelines for avoiding the repeating of such sad events, called the [Covenant of Elemia]. (More info on P. 86)

Shurelia VS Mir
シュレリアVSミュール

シュレリアにはミュールを倒せなかった. 第二紀末期、ベータ純血種の生産技術は第一 紀のそれを遥かに凌駕していた. 寿命やボ ディの強靭度などはほとんど変わっていない が、シルヴァホルンなどへのアクセス能力、 コスモスフィアの処理サイクルなどは相当 進歩していた. その中で最高峰と言われたミュ ールはついに、処理速度の面でシュレリア を抜いてしまった. 塔に意思伝達をするとき など、二人が同時に行えばミュールは必ずシ ュレリアに勝てたのである.

Shurelia wouldn't have been able to defeat Mir.

During the last years of the Second Era, the science of creating Pureblood Beta-types had surpassed by much everything that was done in the First Era. Even if the life spans, the resistance and toughness of the bodies of the Pureblood Beta-types didn't change almost in anything, the ability of accessing to the Silver Horn made them able to have a much better performance in the processing cycles of their Cosmospheres. Between them, Mir, the Reyvateil that was called the most powerful of all, had surpassed even Shurelia's processing speed. If both of them tried to convey their emotions to the Tower at the same time, Mir would surely win because of the superior process speed of her Cosmosphere.

A Warm Restart
ウォーム. リスタート

レーヴァテイル戦争とそれに続くミュールの反乱により、ソル. シエールは『ホ ルスの右翼』とたくさんの人命を失った. このことはシュレリアの心の中に大き な傷を作った. 人々の裏切り、レーヴァテイルの暴走、世界の崩壊. それでもシュ レリアは人の良心を信じた. そして、世界を安定させるために1つの決心をする. この世界から『詩』とグラスノの魔導力を消し去ってしまうこと. 人々がレーヴァテ イルを作るのも、対立するのも、そして悪しき心が芽生えるのも、全ては強大な 力によるもののせいである. その強大な力が人の心を惑わし、そして2度にわたる悲惨 な結末を作り出してきた. そう、この大地も海も、空さえも失った世界に『詩』 の力を受けとめるだけの壊はないのだ シュレリアは、音科学の停止とそれに変わる新しい体系を確立することにした. 『グラスメルク』と呼ばれる技術体系であり、そのシステム書き換えられたシル ヴァホルンによって供給されることとなった.

Because of the Reyvateil War, and Mir's Rebellion, which followed it, Sol Ciel lost the [Right Wing of Horus], and with it, the lives of many people. These events ended carving a great scar inside of Shurelia's heart and psyche. The betrayal of the people, the rampage of the Reyvateils, and the collapse of the world. Still, Shurelia believed in the conscience of the people.

And thus, for the sake of the stability of the world, she took a decision. She would erase from the world the existence of the [Songs] and the magical power of the Grathnodes. The creation of the Reyvateils by human hands, the conflicts, and also, the sprouting of evil in the hearts of people, she thought that giving such a great power to the people was the cause of all of this.

That power made the people delusional, and that caused for the second time the tragical conclusion of a era. That's right, this world, which had lost the oceans, land and sky would stop receiving the blessings and power from the [Songs], so it wouldn't end being destroyed.

And since Shurelia banned the use of Sound Science, a new different system was established as a replacement. That new technology system was called [Grathmeld], and, the Silver Horn, with some modifications, became the energy provider for it.

=The Third Era=

Page 71:

第三紀

レーヴァテイル戦争で浮遊大陸の半分を失った世界. 人々は前文明の遺産である ホルスの翼と崩壊寸前アルトネリコにへばりつくように住んでいた.

During the Reyvateil War, the world lost half of its floating continent. The people survived and succeeded the previous civilization lived clinging to the Wings of Horus, and an near-collapsing Ar tonelico for their lives.

Story of the Reconstruction
復興の物語

行き残った人々はしだいにそれぞれの地区で自治をするよう になった. 最も大きな自治体となったのが、塔のまわり丘陵 で農業を営ネモ地区である. ネモ地区はその位置や人口も相 まって、徐々に文化の中心として成長していった. ある日、ネ モ地区の地主の元へ一組の男女が訪れる. 男の名はガサキ、女 の名はレイラ. 彼らは不思議な力を持つさまざまな道具を披露 し、これを世に広めたいと言った. そのための投資をしてもら いに来たのだ. 当時ネモ地区地主であった峰姪 (ホウメイ) は、 それを承諾し、街に研究施設を建てた. しばらくしてレイラの 姿を見る者はいなくなったが、その後グラスメルクはこの世界 に広がり、人々に潤いを与えていった. 世界が徐々に豊かさを 取りもどしても、『国家』というものが発足することはなかった. その中で、企業『天覇』と『エル. エレミア教会』の二つが非 常に強力な権力を持つ存在となった. レーヴァテイルについて は、もはやベータ純血種を見ることはほとんどなくなっており、 実在する『レーヴァテイル』といわれている者のほとんどは、 人間とのハーフである第三世代であった.

The survivors of the war ended gradually making their own districts, with their own government systems. The biggest between these self-dependant districts was the agricultural district of Nemo, located in the hills that surrounded the Tower. The district of Nemo, thanks to its location and its population, slowly began growing into the very center of the civilization.

A certain day, a man and a woman came to visit the landlord of Nemo. The name of the man was Gasaki, while the woman was called Leila. They carried a mysterious power, and showed to the landlord various tools, and told him that they wanted to spread their knowledge through the world. For that reason, they came to him to see if he wanted to invest in their methods. Since at the time, the landlord of Nemo was the richest man in Sol Ciel, he agreed, and built a research facility in the city. After some time, no one saw Leila or Gasaki ever again, but their knowledge, called Grathmeld, extended through all the world, and gave prosperity to the people. The world was becoming again a prosperous place, but it still wasn't something that could be called a [nation].

During that time, the corporation [Tenba] and the [Church of El Elemia] came into being, and both turned into the factions that carried the political power of the world. As for the Reyvateils, the Pure Blood Beta-types weren't seen since many years ago, so the people called the [Reyvateils] were actually the children of a human and a Reyvateil, mixed blood ones, and they were called Third Generation Reyvateils.

Meld
メルク

グラスノから様々な魔法のアイテムを作りだす技術 "グラス メルク" を使う人々のこと. さまざまなものに対してグラスノ の力を付与し、生活の助けとする、いわゆる "付与魔法" とい われるものである. グラスメルクは主に企業『天覇』によって 研究開発されている技術ではるが、教会も独自のレシピを持 っていたりもする. 薬から空飛ぶ道具まで何でも創れるが、最 近はグラスメルクを超越した技術も併せて研究しているメルク 組織があるという噂も流れている. その技術が完成すれば、こ の限られた世界から脱することができるというのだ. その技術 とは、第一紀に栄えていた音科学のことに他ならない.

The technique used by the people to create various magical items from the Grathnodes is called "Grathmeld". Regarding the items themselves, they receive their powers from the Grathnodes, can save lives, and are called "Magic Enhanced" items.

Though the main research and development is done by the [Tenba] corporation, the Church also has its own unique recipes. Being able to create anything from medicines, to tools for flying through the skies, currently Grathmeld is a transcendental technique, which combines organized research with the flowing of the rumors.

If it could be perfected, it would allow everyone to escape from this limited world, or at least that is what everyone says. However, this technique is no different from the Sound Science that prospered during the First Era.

Structure of Grathmeld


グラスメルクの仕組み

アルトネリコという世界は、『シュレリア』という1人の人工生 命体によりコントロールされている. 彼女は塔と感情を共にする生 命、すなわち塔そのものなのだ. だが、彼女のリンケージが完了せ ぬうちにグラスノインフェリアは起こり、一割の結線と知識で彼女 は懸命に世界を救った. できる限りの人を死の雲の上に救出し、政 府機密で進められていた進化生命の実験場であった浮遊大陸『ホル スの翼』に導いた. その後文明は復活するが、再び人々の過ちによ って滅ぶことになる. そしてシュレリアは塔のプログラムを変更し た. 人々が直接塔の魔力を使えないようにし、代わりにグラスノで 簡単に魔法を使うことができるような技術体系を構築したのだ. シ ルヴァホルンを利用し、グラスノの発するスペクトルを受け取り、 それをシュレリアが魔力に変換するという仕組みで魔法は発動す る. 現在のホルスの翼の住人はこの事実を知らず、グラスノ技術は 自らの手で行っている魔法だと信じて使っているのである.

In the world of Ar tonelico, the person called [Shurelia] is the artificial life form that controls and maintains it. The Tower and her emotions are shared with her life, that is, the Tower maintains her life. However, her linkage to the Tower wasn't completed before the Grathnode Inferia occurred, but even with her incomplete connection and knowledge, she saved the world with her earnestness. She rescued the people she could and allocated them over the Sea of Death, and while she continued governing, she also leaded and developed in secret an investigation on evolution, using the floating continent of the [Wings of Horus] as a test ground. And also, she modified the programs of the Tower. Because the people wasn't able to use magical power by interfacing directly with the Tower, she built a technologic system that allowed the use of simple magic via the Grathnodes as a replacement.

By using the Silver Horn, the Grathnodes can emit the spectrum of sounds that they receive, and Shurelia had structured it as system that could change these sounds into power and invoke magic. In the current times, the inhabitants of the Wings of Horus are unaware of this, and they believe that the use of magic through their Grathnode technology was created by their own hands.

The Attack on Skuwat Village
スクワート村襲撃事件

スクワート村での戦闘は、クレセントクロニクルからミシャ を奪って逃げたボルドの隊と、それを追ってきたテル族との間 で行われたものである. ボルドのクレセントクロニクル襲撃は、 エル エレミア教会のファルス司祭こと、カイエル クランシ ーの指示で実行された. ミュール復活計画の邪魔となる『星詠』 のミシャを殺せとの命令であったが、ボルドはミシャの強大な 力に惚れ込んだために、彼女を生かして天覇に連れ帰ってしま う. この事件のとばっちりを受けたといえるスクワート村は壊 滅、オリカの家もクレアの家も焼け落ち、オリカの両親は無残 にも殺されてしまったのだ.

The Battle of Skuwat Village happened when Bourd kidnapped Misha from the Crescent Chronicle and fled away with her, and his pursuers from the Teru Tribe caught up with him on Skuwat. His raiding of the Crescent Chronicle was actually done under the orders of Bishop Falss from the El Elemia Church, whose true name was Kyle Clancy.

He ordered to kill Misha, so the [Hoshiyomi] wouldn't become later on a hindrance in his plan to revive Mir, but Bourd, seeing how powerful Misha was, he decided to bring her back with him to Tenba. The incident caused the destruction of Skuwat Village. The houses of Claire and Aurica were burnt down, and both of Aurica's parents were ruthlessly killed in the battle.
