ここでは、第三紀におけるソル シエールのさまざまな事物について、詳細に解説していく. Here, we will give a detailed explanation for various of the things that happen in the Sol Ciel of the Third Era.

The Humans
人間:

ソル シエールの人間は、第二紀の『ミュール反乱』後の復興において、 二手に分かれた. 一方は、塔を登りブラストラインの下にプラティナという街 を作って住んだ『エレミアの使徒』と呼ばれる人々で、テル族と『エレミア誓 約書』を作り、それに基づいて『導力プラグ』の管理をしている. もう一方つ まりエレミアの使徒以外の人々は、塔下部付近の浮遊大陸『ホルスの翼』や浮 遊都市『ほたる横丁』で暮らしており、『ホルスの民』と呼ばれる. ホルスの 民はエレミアの使徒のことを神に近い人々だと考え、畏怖している. 人間の中には、第一紀に住んでいた地域によって異なる2つの民族『シエー ル系』と『クラスタ系』が存在する. シエール系は構文学圏民族で、アルファ ベット系の命名が主. クラスタ系は縦文学圏民族で、漢字系の命名をするのが 常. 民族気質としては、クラスタ系の方が勤勉で、シエール系はノンビリ. そ して野心もクラスタ系の方が旺盛である. 現在の人口比率は、シエール系3割、� クラスタ系1割. 残りの6割は混血である (命名比率で言えば、アルファベッ ト系7割、漢字系3割). クラスタ系は黒髪系が多く直毛で、髪の毛は長いほ ど美徳とされている. 服は和服を代表とするモダン和装束中心. シエール系は 茶髪系が多くウェーブがかっている人が多い. 服は西洋系民族衣装. もちろん 髪の色や癖具合は個体差があるので傾向としかいえない.

The people of Sol Ciel, because of the reconstruction that was performed after [Mir's Rebellion, at the end of the Second Era, were divided into two groups. In one side, we have the people that climbed up the tower until a point just below the Blastline, where they built the city where they reside now, Platina, and are called the [Apostles of Elemia]. They also are the ones that signed the [Covenant of Elemia] with the Teru Tribe, and besides, they were established because of the need to keep the [Symphonic Reactor] under control. In the other side, we have all the other people that doesn't belong to the Apostles of Elemia, and live in the floating continent, the [Wings of Horus], and on the floating city [Firefly Alley]. They are called the [People of Horus]. The people of Horus thinks that the Apostles of Elemia are the people closest to God, and thus, they reverence and fear them.

Among the humans, because of the differences between them, and the regions in which they inhabited back in the First Era, were classified under two groups: the [Ciel Class], and the [Cluster Class]. The Ciel Class mainly uses the alphabet for the naming of its people, because of them using the standard writing system (similar to Earth's Latin Alphabet). On the other side, given that the Cluster Class mostly used their own writing system, they normally name their people with Kanji names. In respect to the individual characteristics of both groups, the Cluster class is pretty hardworking, while the Ciel class is more laid-back. This also means that the Cluster people also is pretty ambitious. The actual population ratio is 30% of Ciel class people and 10% Cluster class people. The other remaining 60% is people that has mixed blood from both classes (and in respect to naming, the 70% of the people has their name written using the alphabet, while the other 30% has their name written in Kanji). The Cluster people mostly has black and long hair, and having the hair like that is considered a virtue by them. The clothes used by the Cluster people are representative of them, and they look like modernized Japanese styled clothes (kimonos). On the other hand, the Ciel people has mostly brown and undulated hair, while their clothes are western styled. Of course, each person has its own hair color, and its natural to dye it to many.

The Covenant of Elemia
エレミア誓約書

ミュールの封印に協力した人々とテルが一 緒に取りきめをした、アルトネリコの塔のリ ソースの使い方と制限を記した書. 第一紀終 焉の原因の大惨事『グラスノインフェリア』 や、第二紀終焉の原因の大惨事『ミュールの 反乱』の再来がないように、高エネルギー施設 はすべて使用を禁止されている. 人間の代表であるエレミアの使徒の役割 は、ウイルスが送り込まれやすい『導力プラ グ』の管理 監視. テルの民の役割は、『ク レセントクロニクル』の監視と『星詠』の守 護. また、ホルスの翼に住む人間たちが塔の 重要施設にみだりに近づかないようにしてお り、警告を無視する人間には攻撃も辞さない 姿勢を貫いている. これはときにテル族対人 間の抗争の火種に発展しかねないが、彼らは 必要悪としてあえて実行しているのだ.

This document was written by the Humans and Teru that cooperated to seal Mir, and in it, there are written all the limits about the use of the resources of the Tower of Ar tonelico. It was decided that all the usage of this extremely powerful facility was to be banned, so disasters such as the one that caused the end of the First Era: the [Grathnode Inferia], and the one that caused the end of the Second Era: [Mir's Rebellion], would never be repeated again. As the representatives of the Humans, the job of the Apostles of Elemia was the administration and supervision of the [Symphonic Reactor] and the viruses that spawned from it. On the other part, the job of the Teru people was the supervision of the [Crescent Chronicle] and the protection of the [Hoshiyomi]. Also, they had the job of preventing the humans that lived in the Wings of Horus from getting close to the essential facilities of the Tower without reason, and they did not have other choice than attacking the people that were stubborn enough to keep trying to climb the Tower after the Terus' warnings. Even if in the current times the humans and Teru have fought fiercely because of this, it was thought that it was a necessary evil for the world.

The Terus
テル

昔、人間と共に技術協力をしてアルトネリコを開発した、人間とは別の種族. ドラゴンハーフのような姿で、角やしっぽが生え、肌も麻色である. 特殊な系 統の魔法を使うことができ、その力なくしては、アルトネリコの完全は不可能だ った. だがそのアルトネリコが原因で、世界から大地と空が無くなってしまっ たことを悔やんでおり、人々が二度と同じ過ちを繰り返さぬよう、塔のリソー スを使わせぬように見張っている. 高度な知識と技術を身につけていながら、 意外と原始的な生活をしているのもそのため. また、この世界の命綱である『ク レセントクロニクル』の監視も行っている.

A long time ago, they cooperated with the Humans for the development and creation of Ar tonelico, but they are a different race from them. They have a semidragon-like appearance, because they have horns and tail, and have a darker skin. They are also able to use their own special kinds of magic,and without it, the completion of Ar tonelico would have been impossible. However, since Ar tonelico was also the cause for the world losing its land and sky, the Terus regretted it, and as if it were to keep the people from repeating these mistakes again, the decided to watch the tower's resources so no one could be able to use them. While they do possess very advanced technology and knowledge, they unexpectedly live a primitive lifestyle. However, they also protect the facility that is a lifeline to this world: the [Crescent Chronicle].

The 12 Teru Families
* Translated as "Zeben" in the Arpeggio manga translation.

** Ainu dwarf gods (anyone that watched Shaman King should know about them).

Flag of the Jemina
 * ジェミナの旗

テル族の一派である『ジェミナ』の旗.

This is the flag of the [Jemina], one of the schools of the Teru Tribe.

The Teru Tribe and their Familiars
テル族と護(もり)

テル族は平均200年ほど生きる種族で、 使う術の形態によって12の小派閥に分かれ ている. 彼らは一人前になるときに小妖精と共 に帰ってこなければならない. 探す小妖精の 種類は流派ごとに異なる. テルと承認しあっ た小妖精は一生の仲となり、『護』と言われ るようになる. なお、テル が使う術は、月奏などより も強力. 人々と技術交流し たテルは、『科学』を『魔法』 によって進化 させ、それが アルトネリコ の実現にも繋 がったのである.

The Terus can live approximately 200 years, and they are divided into 12 schools, depending on the form of the abilities they can use. When they reach the age for their coming of age ceremony, they are are sent out to search for a little fairy, and they cannot return to their home until them. The kind of fairy they need to find differs depending on the school to which they belong. When the fairy recognizes the Teru as worthy of him/her, he/she becomes his/her lifelong partner, and from that time onwards, it will be called his/her Familiar. Furthermore, the Teru are able to use powers that are even stronger than the ones the Tsukikanade could use. Because of the exchange of [Magic] and [Science] between the Humans and Terus it was that their civilizations could progress and evolve, and the realization of Ar tonelico is also related to these exchanges.

飛竜を護にもつタスティ エーラの流派は念願成就 を得意とするアルカだ.

Since she carries a flying dragon as her guardian, Tastiella belongs to the school that has wish fulfilling as its speciality: the Alca school.

Reyvateils
Page 87:

レーヴァテイル

レーヴァテイルとは、音科学の最先端技術を駆使して創られた人工生 命体であり、人体と同じタンパク質起源の有機的な素材で構成されたい のちである. 人間にはない、以下のような能力を持っている.

The Reyvateils are artificial like forms that were made through the leading edge technologies of Sound Science, and while, like the humans, their bodies are composed of natural proteins, they are also made from many artificial components. They aren't the same as humans, and they have the following abilities:

1) 詩を謳うことで、塔から直接強大な力を引き出せる (詩魔法) 2) グラスノ結晶を体内に取り込んで、詩魔法をさらにブーストさせる ことができる. 3) 塔の直接制御が出来る(ヒュムネコードを持つ者のみ)

しかし反面、以下のような欠点をも合わせ持つ.

4) グラスノ結晶の出す導力によって命を消られていく. 5) 特に体内にグラスノを取り込んだとき、それは顕著になる.

1) By singing songs, they can draw great power directly from the Tower (use Song Magic).

2) By absorbing Grathnode Crystals in their bodies, they can greatly boost the power of their Song Magic.

3) They can directly control the Tower (only the ones that have Hymn Codes).

However, they also have the following weaknesses:

4) The energy that flows out from the Grathnode Crystals reduces their life spans.

5) Especially they have the Grathnodes absorbed in their bodies.

第三紀のレーヴァテイルはほとんどが第三代で、塔とリン クするためのヒュムネコードがない. しかし物理的には塔と直 接しており、例えるなら回線は繋がっているがプロバイダと契 約していない状態. 詩魔法の使用は可能だ. (写真のレーヴァ テイルはマヤ. ミシャの友達でドラマCDにも登場する. )

In the Third Era, almost all of the Reyvateils are Third Generations, which don't have Hymns Codes to link them to the Tower. However, they are still physically connected to the Tower, similar to a house having the power lines connected but without the provider sending energy through it because of a missing contract or payment. This why they can use Song Magic. (The Reyvateil on the picture is Maya, Misha's friend that appears on her Drama CD).

Origins
オリジン

無から作られたレーヴァテイル. 錬 金術的にいえばホムンクルスのような もの. 塔が生命維持管理をしており、 塔が崩れ去らないかぎり無限の命を持 つ. オリジンは増幅塔の制御用に3体 しか創られず、ベータ純血種と第三世 代は、すべてこの3体のオリジンの直 系である. オリジンの『精神基準周波 数』は、それぞれが担当する塔とほと んど同じであり、塔の動きを自分の手 足のように感じることができる. シュ レリア(エオリア)以外の2体(フレ リア、ティリア)はグラスノインフェ リア前に建造中であった2体の塔へそ れぞれ送られ、その後の消息は不明.

Reyvateils created from scratch. Talking in alchemical terms, they are similar to an Homunculus. Since their lives are maintained by their Towers, they are potentially immortal as long as their Towers still stand. There were only three Origins made for the purpose of managing the amplification Towers, and because of that, all of the Pureblooded Beta-types and the Third Generations are direct descendant of these three origins. The [Standard Spiritual Frequency] of the Origins is almost completely similar to the one of the Towers each of them manage, and as such, they can feel the movements in the Tower as if it was part of their own hands and feet. Shurelia (Eoria/Eolia) and the other two Origins (Frelia and Tyria/Tylia) were made and sent to the other towers before the Grathnode Inferia, and it's unknown what happened to the other two afterwards,

Pureblooded Beta-types
べータ純血種

オリジンを元に作られたクローン. 第一紀に開発され、第二紀にシュレリ アが人々のために普及させた. その寿 命は第三世代と比べれば長いが、オリ ジンとは比べものにならないほど短 い. およそ150年ほどだが、朽ち果 てるまで歳をとることはない. オリジ ンとベータ純血種は、塔がまだ現役と して機能していたころに作られたレー ヴァテイルなので、塔とのリンクがし っかりしている. 塔から各ベータ純血 種を認識できるようなにIDが振られて おり、コスモスフィアの設定を塔が 記憶しておくことができるのだ. この IDのことを『ヒュムネコード』という.

Reyvateils made by cloning the Origins. They were developed during the First Era, but Shurelia disclosed the methods for creating them for the sake of the people during the Second Era. Their life spans are longer than the ones of the Third Generations, but much shorter than the ones of the Origins. They live approximately for 150 years, and they won't grow old or decay until their death. Because the Origins and Pureblooded Beta-types were made when the Tower was still actively functioning, they have a secure link with it. Each individual Pureblooded Beta-type is assigned an special ID for recognition by the Tower, allowing it to record all of the settings that the Betas have on their Cosmospheres. This ID is called the [Hymn Code].

Third Generations
第三世代

レーヴァテイルと人間の間に生まれた 子供. たいていの場合はレーヴァテイ ルの素質は完全に失われるが、たまに レーヴァテイルの特徴を持って生まれ る子供がいる. それを第三世代という. 第三世代となると寿命は短く、20年 と生きられない. それがレーヴァテイ ル素質だと知られる前は、先天性の難 病『タトゥリスト』(身体のどこかに タトゥが出ると発病と見なすため)と して恐れられていた. 現在では『ダイ キリティ』という薬を定期的に投与す れば、人間と同じだけの寿命を生きら れる. 加えて、最大でべータ純血種程 度の力を発揮することができる.

Children born from a Reyvateil and a Human. While in the majority of the cases the Reyvateil traits are lost, occasionally, there are still children that are born with such traits. These are called Third Generation Reyvateils. Who become Third Generations do not have a long life span, having a max of around 20 years. And that, before the Reyvateil traits were recognized as such, it was feared to be an incurable hereditary disease called the [Tattoolist Syndrome] (called this way because a tattoo would appear somewhere in the body of the affected one). In the current times, if they are given an special medicine called the [Diquility] periodically, they can live just as long as the Humans do. Besides, the strongest Third Generations are able of using powers that are on the same level as the Pureblooded Beta-types.

The Lifestyle of the Third Generation Reyvateils
レーヴァテイルの第三世代の生き様

レーヴァテイル第三世代として生まれ てきた娘は幸福であり不幸でもある. 将 来の生活は保証され、その水準も人間よ りはるかに豊かになる可能性すらある. だが生命維持をしないと短命であり、成 人することもままならぬ娘が多い. レーヴァテイルの発見は、生まれてま もない赤ん坊に対して『六角板試験』を 行い、その適性を検査する. 六角板が体 内に吸収されれば陽性、何ともなければ 陰性である. また吸収度合によってA~ Dの4クラスに指定され、Aクラスの方 がレーヴァテイル資質が強く、短命の可 能性が高い. ダイキリティの入手には3 種類の方法がある. ひとつは天覇製のダ イキリティを定期的に買い、投与し続け る方法、2つ目はレーヴァテイルとして その才能を生かしながら天覇で働くこ と. 3つ目は、出家してエル エレミア 教会の巫女となること. 天覇に在籍する 場合、A~Dのランくがモノをいうよう になる. Aランクのレーヴァテイルは生 活のすべてを天覇に保証される. 一方エ ル エレミア教会では、A~Dといった ランクはあるものの、巫女として平等に 敬われる. しかしその暮らしは厳しく、 また一度出家してしまうと親元に帰ること を許されない. そんな経緯もあり、大 抵の親は天覇へ行くことを勧めるもので ある. ちなみに孤児については、多くの 場合天覇が経営する公共施設で検査を受 け、陽性なら有無を言わず天覇に引き 取られる.

The girls that are born as Third Generation Reyvateils can consider it both as a blessing, and a curse. They will have their futures guaranteed, and they might even have higher living standards than what most humans reach. However, if their lives aren't guaranteed, they will not live for long, and as such, there are many girls that don't even reach adulthood. To find out if a person it's a Reyvateil or not, the [Hexagonal Crystal Test] is performed on the newborn babies, to examine their Reyvateil aptitudes. If the hexagonal crystal is absorbed by the body, then the result it's Positive. If it's not absorbed at all, then it's Negative. In the case that it's positive, the degree of absorption then indicates to which of the four classes the child will belong to when she become a Reyvateil, go from class A to class D. The A-Class Reyvateils are ones that have a great natural power, but have higher chances of dying sooner. There are three methods for obtaining the Diquility. The first one is buying it from the Tenba stores regularly, though it has its costs for having to do it each three months. The second method is that the Reyvateil puts her abilities to use working for Tenba. The third one is trying to become the Holy Maiden for the El Elemia Church. When a Reyvateil enrolls in Tenba, she will become a Reyvateil of A~D Rank depending on her talents and the results of her Hexagonal Plate Test at birth. An A-Rank Reyvateil has her entire life guaranteed by Tenba. As for the El Elemia Church, there used to be something similar to the A~D Ranks, but the Holy Maiden is worshipped by everyone equally. However, they have to live under a very strict life, and once they enter the Church, they aren't allowed to go back home even once. Because of that, almost all the parents advise their daughters to better go to work in Tenba. About the orphans, most of them also receive inspection and the crystal test from Tenba-managed public institutions, and if they are Positive, Tenba takes charge of them, but doesn't disclose the information to them.

恐れられた『タトゥリスト病』だが、原因が解 明されてレーヴァテイル第三世代の特性と分かっ たため、病名そのものがなくなった.

Even though the [Tatoolist Disease] was feared, it lost its name as a disease once it was explained and the people understood that its cause was actually the special characteristics of the Third Generation Reyvateils.

Cosmosphere
Page 88:

コスモスフィア

レーヴァテイルは、物理的ボディは有機物であるが、精神的なものは 音が起源である. そして世界に満ちる波動により、全レーヴァテイル同 士と塔は『無意識』上でつながっている. 各レーヴァテイルには『精神 基準周波数』というものが存在し、これが近い者同士は同調しやすい. そしてこの『精神基準周波数』を基幹としたスペクトラムを持つ、それ ぞれのレーヴァテイルのロジックが、レーヴァテイルの意識や思考を司 り、個を形成しているのである. この『レーヴァテイルのロジック』の これを『コスモスフィア』といい、第三紀では『精神世界』と呼ばれて いるものである. つまり、コスモスフィアは遠い近いの特性はあれど、 必ず塔や他のレーヴァテイルたちとも繋がっているのだ.

The Reyvateils have a physical body and a mind: while their physical body is made from organic components, their mind is made up from sounds. And since this world is filled with all kinds of waves, all the Reyvateils are [unconsciously] connected to each other and to the Tower. Each Reyvateil has what is called an [Spiritual Standard Frequency], which allows to sympathize in a easier way with other people that have similar Frequencies to hers'. And said Frequency is the nucleus of their personal Spectrum, the Logic of each Reyvateil, which rules over their consciousness and thoughts, and shapes the individual. This [Logic of the Reyvateil] is called the Cosmosphere, and it's also called the [Soulspace] in the Third Era. In short, the Cosmosphere has the special characteristic of allowing the Reyvateil to be connected both to the Tower and the other Reyvateils, no matter how far apart she is from them.

レーヴァテイルは、自分の心の中(コスモスフィア)に生ま れた詩を謳う. 自身の『感情』や『想い』を根幹として、その 想いを具現化することで詩とし、コスモスフィア経由で塔から 導力を集めて力に変えるのである.

The Reyvateils sing the songs that they created inside of their own minds (Cosmospheres). By using their [Emotions] and [Feelings] as their root, they can embody these feelings into a song, and gather the power from the Tower through their Cosmospheres to give a physical shape to these feelings.

Diving
ダイブ

『詩を紡ぐ』ことは、レーヴァテイル一人ではなかなか難 しい. そのため、人間がレーヴァテイルのコスモスフィアへ 入り込み、一緒に色々な仮想体験をして詩を紡いでいくこと がある. それが『ダイブ』と言われる行為である. その仮想 体験は、レーヴァテイルにとっては現実体験と同じくらいの 意味を持ち、それが『詩』となって魔法を形成するのだ.

[Crafting a Song] is always a very hard experience for a Reyvateil alone. Because of that, a humans enters in her Cosmosphere, and by experiencing together various scenarios, they craft the songs. That is the process called [Diving]. These scenarios they experience always carry some meaning or significance to the Reyvateil in the real world, and they are what allow the [songs] to take shape as magic.

Mind Guardian
心の護:

心の護とは、レーヴァテイルのコスモスフィアに住まう生命体 である. たいていはそのレーヴァテイルがもっとも大切にしてい るモノの姿をしている. 心の護の役目は、精神世界の案内人であ り、ダイブした者がその心の世界の主をみだりに傷つけたりせぬ よう見張る役割を担ってもいる. なお、オリジンであるシュレリ アには心の護はいない.

The Mind Guardians are a life form that inhabits the Cosmosphere of the Reyvateils. They usually take the shape of something that is very important to the Reyvateil, and their job is to guide the Diver through the Soulspace, and also bear the task of making sure that the Diver doesn't do anything that could cause mental scars to their master. By the way, the Reyvateil Origins, such as Shurelia, don't have Mind Guardians.

World for "Fun"
"遊び"の世界

ダイブを重ねてコスモスフィアの最深レベルまで到達す ると、レーヴァテイルとアルトネリコの同調が行われ、最 強の詩魔法を覚えることができる. オリカとミシャの場合、 その後にふたたびダイブすると、その新しい詩魔法の主か ら、彼女たちの心とは関係のない『遊び』の世界に行くこ とを提案されるのだ. いわば、アルトネリコを経由して遊 べるボーナスゲームで、オリカとミシャの場合は、それぞ れふたりがマルローネ、エルフィールとなった『アトリエ シリーズ』のパロディ世界にいざわれる. なお、シュレ リアの場合は、コスモスフィアにダイブすると彼女自身が、 昔遊ばれていたゲームプログラムを塔から引き出すことを 提案する. いろいろな仮想世界があるようだが、彼女が遊 んだのは『ふつうの暮らしをする』世界であった.

If the Dives are repeated enough times to reach the deepest level of the Cosmosphere, the Reyvateil will be able to directly connect to Ar tonelico, and learn the ultimate Song Magic. In Aurica's and Misha's case, if after all of that you Dive again in them, you will be proposed to go to a [game] world, which doesn't have any relation to their minds, given that they can already control that new Song Magic. To explain it simply, this is just playing a bonus game through the Binary Field of Ar tonelico, where Aurica becomes Marlone and Misha becomes Elfir, in parody worlds of the [Atelier Series]. By the way, in Shurelia's case, if you dive in her Cosmosphere, you will be invited to play game programs drawn from the Tower's memory, that the people from a long time ago used to play. Though there were a great variety of virtual scenarios, the world of the one she chose to play was [Living an Ordinary Life].

アトリエシリーズの世界で、 オリカ ミシャはそれぞれ、マ ルローネ エルフィールのコス チュームで登場する.

In the worlds of the Atelier series, Aurica appears in a Marlone costume, while Misha appears wearing an Elfir one.

シュレリアのコスモスフィア は塔のバイナリ野に直結してい る. 何もない世界であるため、 彼女はゲームを勧めたのだ.

Shurelia's Cosmosphere is actually a direct connection to the Binary Field of the Tower. Since there was nothing inside of her Soulspace, she suggested to use it for playing a game.

Imaginary World
空想世界

いわゆる妄想の世界. わかりやすくいえば、そのレーヴァテイルがゲームマスター をやっているテーブルトークRPGの世界. 彼女が生みだした空想世界の中で、擬似 的体験を行うことができる. 強力なレーヴァテイルが訓練を積めば、おばけ屋敷 のような世界を構築して、ダイバーを脅かすことでコスモスフィアから追い出す ことも可能である. ここは人間の脳でいえば思考や空想を司る分野で、最も当人の自我が出るところ. すなわち『最も浅い層』に位置する. レーヴァテイル本人の考えかたが瞬時にこ の世界に作用し、嫌なことは意識的に隠すことが可能. 日頃、喋ったり笑ったり している日常に最も近い世界である. 高度は教育を受けて育ったミシャは、コスモスフィアの構造についても把握して いたため、空想世界のエディットは容易だった. ライナーにコスモスフィアのレ ベル1において "作り物" の世界を見せることができたのはこのためである. 一方 のオリカは、その技術どころか知識すら一切持たなかったため、ライナーに対し て繕って見せる空想世界もなく、レベル1から荒れた自分の記憶世界をあらわにし てしまったのだ.

This is the so-called delusional world. To explain it in a simpler way, this like the world of a table RPG, where the Reyvateil acts as the Game Master. Inside of this world that she crafted from her imagination, she is able to make up false scenarios. If the Reyvateil trains hard enough, she might be able to make a world containing things like haunted houses to scare off any Divers that try to go into her mind. If we talk about comparing it to the human brain and how it controls the thoughts and imagination of the person, this is the part where the ego of the person itself expresses itself the most. In other words, where the [most superficial stratum] it's located. In this area, the thoughts of the Reyvateil have an instant effect on the world, and she is able to consciously conceal anything she hates. Normally, she appears in this world as very talkative and smiling, and here is where she acts the most similar to how she acts normally outside of the Cosmosphere. Because of the rigorous training that Misha received, she understood how she could modify her Cosmosphere, and to her it was very easy to edit her imaginary world. Because of this, when Lyner entered to her Lv. 1 Cosmosphere, it looked like an "artificial" world. On the other side, since Aurica didn't know about that ability, let alone about using it, she didn't show Lyner a imaginary world for him to fix up, rather, her stormy Memory World began exposing itself since the first level.

Memory World
記憶世界

過去の出来事がしまわれている場所. 当人はそれを隠すことはできるが、改変し たり消したりすることはできない. また、『心の傷』と呼ばれるものの多くがこ の世界に起因するため、ダイブするほとんどの時間はこの『記憶世界』になる. 記憶世界では、心の傷を消し去ることはできないものの、癒す(手放す)ことがで きた、それによって精神的に成長したりもする. ゲーム中では、オリカがこの記 憶世界のウェイトを大きく持っており、ミシャ空想世界と本性世界のウェイトが 高くなっている.

The place where the memories of the past are retained. These are incidents that the person herself can hide, but she can't change or forget. Furthermore, if because this world is created when the [Mind Scars] are so numerous and great, almost all the time under a Dive, they become this: the [Memory World]. The Memory World is formed by all the mind scars that the person wasn't able to heal by herself, but the they can be healed (released), and by doing so, the person grows spiritually. In the game, the Memory World has the most weight in Aurica's mind, while the Imaginary World and the True Nature World are the ones that have the most weight in Misha's mind.

True Nature World
本性世界

レーヴァテイル本人の顕在意識では認識していない、『本当にやりたいこと』が しまわれている世界. ここにあるのは、全てのしがらみを超越したエゴであり、 本性である. 表現されるすべては、当人が否定しようが何だろうが間違いなくそ の者の本性であり、真の願望であり、利己的で自己中心的で独裁的な世界である. 大抵が極端な形で表現されることになり、日常では絶対に見せられない姿や自分 しか知らない秘密の夢、さらには自分さえも気づいていなかった願望なども、こ こは残酷なまでにハッキリと明確に、事実として描きだされるのだ.

This world is not the consciousness that the Reyvateil acknowledges herself as her true self, rather, it's a world depicting how [she truly wants to be]. This is the place where the ego of the Reyvateil, once it has transcended all of her ties of obligation, resides. Even if the Reyvateil herself was denying all that is depicted here, this world actually manifests all of her true wishes: as a selfish, egomaniacal and dictatorial world. In the most extreme world in which this world can manifest, it can even show the secret dreams that person herself doesn't even know about in her conscious state, or wishes that she hasn't even realized she has, and even if it can be clearly cruel, everything that is depicted on this world is true.

レーヴァテイルは塔からエネルギーをもらい、詩魔法を具現化されたりネルギー にしたりする. そのため、彼女たちと塔とは、常に見えないへその緒のようなも のので繋がっているのである. その導力(魔法の力)の伝達ラインの狭間がこの 『境界門』であり、この門のよりも手前が本人の領域、奥が塔の共有領域である. 個を形成する本人の領域は、実際にはオリジン、ベータ純血種、第三世代では少 しずつ特性が異なり、それは塔のパワーが落ちたときに如実に表れる. 第三世代 は生身の肉体と普通の脳みそがあるため、ほとんどその影響を受けることはない が、オリジンは塔と一心同体であるため、塔と一緒に停止してしまう. オリジン の脳みそれは、100%塔のメモリであるから、塔が落ちればメモリ落ちるのである. またこの境界門は、レーヴァテイル同士が互いのプライバシーを浸食しあうを防 いだり、塔の管理から個々のレーヴァテイルの人間性部分を除外するものでもあ り、レーヴァテウイルが個を形成するのに無くてはらない壁なのである.

The Reyvateils receive energy from the Tower, which they afterwards use to manifest their Song Magic in the real world. Because of that, they are connected by something similar to an invisible umbilical cord to the Tower. In the space between that Symphonic Power (magical power) transmission line and the Reyvateil there is this: the [Boundary Gate], and while its external part is the True Nature region of the Cosmosphere, the inside is a shared area inside of the Tower. As the region where the individual is defined, there are various differences between the True Nature area of the Origins, Pureblooded Beta-types and Third Generations, which also explain why the suspension of the Tower affects them differently. Because the Third Generations have a completely organic body and a normal brain, they don't receive any influence from the suspension, while the Origins are one with the Tower, and they suspend as well if the Tower is suspended. That is because their brains are 100% in the Tower's memory, and if the Tower's power is suddenly cut, the memory becomes inaccessible. Again, the Boundary Gate is like defense mechanism to prevent the consciousnesses of the Reyvateil from breaking the privacy of each other, and to be able to keep free the human part of the Reyvateil from the Tower's administration, because the individuality of the Reyvateils wouldn't be able to form if it wasn't by this special barrier.

Tower's Internal Memory Bus
塔内メモリバス

本人が意識することもできない、そもそも思考感情からはほど遠い部分. このメ モリバスは全てのレーヴァテイルの思考が集まっている集中サーバであり、パワー の源でもある. 精神世界からここに入りこむことができてしまうと、実際のとこ ろ、アルトネリコをハッキングすることも不可能ではない. もちろん、半端な知 識や技術しかなければ到底無理な行為なのだが、それを成しとげてしまったのミュー ルだった.

The True Self it's not aware of this, because this area is very far away from its feelings and thoughts. This Memory Bus is the concentration server where the thoughts of all the Reyvateils are gathered, and it's their source of power, as well. It's possible to enter here from the Soulspace, but actually, it isn't possible to hack Ar tonelico from here. Of course, because of her unmatched knowledge and technical skills, Mir was able to accomplish a feat that was thought to be completely impossible.

Airships
Page 90:

飛空挺

ふつうの航路を飛ぶ飛空挺の場合、リクー盤と呼ばれ る円盤が導力を受けてフリッパーを回す. しかし、ブラ ストラインの中は導力が乱れているため、リクー盤が一 定の回転を起こさない. そのため、リクー盤以外の動力 源『ナビテ カプ』が必要となる. つまりブラストライ ン越えの新型機は、地上ではリクー盤、ブラストライン 内ではナビテ カプを動力源とするハイブリッドマシン ということになる. ただし、ナビテ カプの持続時間内 にブラストラインを抜けなければならない. シェアリングコアは、リクー盤から受けたエネルギー を推進力と導力に変換分岐するシステムで、フリッパー の回転スピードを制御したり機体のバランスを保ったり する役目がある. グラバード羅針盤というアイテムが中 に入っており、これが正確に機体の水平調整と方位、力 場変位(スピード)を計り続けているのだ. 飛行機制御 の要といわれる場所であり、専売特許を持っている『天 覇』のご自慢のアイテムなのである.

In the case of the airships that cover regular routes, the Flipper spins from the kinetic energy it receives from a circular disc called the Liku plate. However, because inside of the Blastline the kinetic energy is distorted, the Liku plate can't keep an uniform rotation. Because of that, it becomes necessary to use an external energy source to the Liku plate, the [Nabite Cap]. In short, the new model of airships that can cross the Blastline are hybrid machines that use Liku plate as their main power source for flying, and inside of the Blastline, they switch over to the Nabite Cap for their power source. However, the Nabite Cap is unable to supply power inside of the Blastline for a prolonged period of time. The Sharing Core is the conversion system that transforms the energy it receives from the Liku plate into propulsive power and kinetic energy, and it also acts as a regulating machine for the rotation speed of the Flipper. The Gravard Compass is a item that once inserted in the airship, it keeps correcting its horizontal level and direction, and keeps measuring the change of position of the airship (the speed). These all are essential components for the current airships, and [Tenba] boasts the pride of holding the patents for almost all these items.

"グ ラスノ" は、超常的な力を持つ鉱石. 特性によって結晶の色が異なり、赤、 青、緑、紫の4種類が存在する. グラスメルクは、このグラスノ結晶が 持つ固有の周波数特性 (スペクトル) をシルヴァホルンが読み取り、そ れに対応するプログラムを走らせることで、規定の効果を持った魔法的 な力を働くしくみである. ホルスの翼の人々はこの技を発展させ、飛空 挺まで造るようになった. 第三紀のはじめにこの技術を広めたのは、ガサキとレイラという一組 の男女. 彼らが何者で、どこから来てどこへ行ったのかは不明である.

This is a system that was developed by Shurelia after she banned the direct use of Sound Science to the Humans. The Grathnodes can grant their power to the items as "Granted Magic", and they are basically minerals containing supernatural powers. Depending on the differences between their special characteristics, the crystals have one of these four colors: Red, Blue, Green and Purple, and these are the groups in which they are divided. Grathmeld is the process in which the characteristic wave frequencies (Spectrums) of the Grathnode Crystals are scanned by the Silver Horn, and then, it runs a program depending on that frequency, granting the Symphonic Power and effects carried in the crystal to the item. The people of the Wings of Horus developed this technique even further, to the extent of even being able to make airships with it.This technique was spread at the start of the Third Era by a man and a woman called Gasaki and Leila. Who they were, from were they came, and what happened to them is still a mystery.

『グラスメルクの達人』と評判が高いポチョマー先生. カル ル村のトワーガーディアンに住んでいる. ポチョマー先生にグ ラスメルクを習って最終試験で合格すると、孫娘のナールをお 嫁にもらえる......かもしれない.

The most famed [Master of Grathmelding] is Prof. Pochoma. He lives in the Tower Guardian of Karulu Village, and if you're able to learn everything about Grathmeld, up to passing his final examination, he might give you his granddaughter Noelle as a bride....... or maybe not.

The Naming of the Items
アイテム命名

ライナーがグラスメルクをする際には、パートナーのレー ヴァテイルがお手伝いをしてくれる. 微笑ましいが、新た なアイテムを作ったときのコメント. 『これ、OOって呼ん でもいい？』とそれぞれのセンスで考えたネーミングを披露 してくれる. ネーミングセンス王女は、やはりオリカ. 他の ふたりをぶっちぎる独特な名前を発表してくれる.

Whenever Lyner grathmelds an item, his partner Reyvateil at the time helps him with it, then, she comments with a smile after the new item has been created [May I name this OO?] In this, each one of this girls also show their unique naming senses, with the queen of the naming sense being Aurica, of course. She wins over the other two because of the unique names she gives to the items.

The Grathmelding of the Songstresses?
謳姫のグラスメルク？

レーヴァテイルとの絆を深くなり、コスモスフィアのレベルが 上がっていくと、彼女たちが造ったアイテムとそのレシピをプレ セントしてくれることがある. あやしげな食材でできた食べもの や、でっかいハートマークがついたセーターなどビミョーなもの もあるが、パートナーへの "想い" が表れたものとして、素直に 喜ぼう. これもグラスメルクの恩恵なのか？

If your bonds with the Reyvateils become deep, and raise their Cosmosphere levels high enough, they will give to you as presents items themselves made, together with their recipes. They might make things such as food out from questionable ingredients, a sweater with an enormous hear mark, and other things, but that expresses the "feelings" they have for their partners, and that makes them very happy. Could this be a blessing of Grathmeld as well?

About Tenba (Tempa in the JP Version)

天覇

グラスメルクを世に広め、人々を豊かにし、そして塔の秘密 を暴き続ける企業『天覇』. 企業の名前の由来は『この天すべ てを制覇する』という意味からきている. もはや大地がないソ ル シエールでは、世界のことを『地』ではなく『天』で表現 することが多いのだ. だがその天覇も、昔はただの一田舎町の 店『櫻商店』にしか過ぎなかった. 蜂姪『ホウメイ』という人物 が開いた、グラスメルクの小売り店である. 名前から察するに 第一紀にソル クラスタに住んでいたクラスタ系民族であるこ の男こそ、当時のネモ地区の地主であり、ガサキとレイラにグ ラスメルク研究の資金提供をした人物であった. 彼が初代店長 を勤めた『櫻商店』はその後、3度にわたる転換期を乗り越え、 ホルスの翼一の大企業『天覇』へと成長してきたのである.

[Tenba] is the corporation that introduced Grathmelding to the world, brought prosperity to the people, and in the current days, tries to continue discovering the secrets of the Tower. The corporation's name originates from the meaning of the kanjis 天 (Sky/Heaven) and 覇 (Supremacy), and together they mean [That which will dominate everything in this sky]. This is because in the landless world of Sol Ciel, [Sky] is used to express many things that could mean [Land/Earth] to us. However, Tenba's origins go back to a long time ago, when it wasn't anything but an small store in a country town, called the [Sakura Store]. The person that founded it was called Houmei, and the store used to be only a Grathmeld retail store. From his name, you could guess that this man was descendant of the people that lived in Sol Cluster in the First Era, and he was the landlord of the city of Nemo at that time, when Gasaki and Leila came to him requesting funds to research Grathmelding. As the first shop manager, he worked in the [Sakura Store], and after him, after passing through three important phases, it grew into the largest corporation in the Wings of Horus, the corporation of [Tenba].

『天覇』は、グラスメルクに関するすべての技術と 権利を掌握している. 個人も法人も、グラスメルクの 使用には天覇の認可が必要である. 通称『GDC』と 呼ばれる機構であり、さらなる技術革新を高効率で行 えるようにしている. 加盟団体/加盟個人からは年会 費、販売店からはロイヤリティを徴収し、それを元手 に研究開発を行う. 新発見や開発されたノウハウは、 加盟者に平等に分配される. そうすることでグラスメ ルクを独占し、かつ最大限の恩恵を社会に与えている のである. また、無知な者がグラスメルクに手を出し で惨事を起こぬようにする制御策でもある. ただ実 際、グラスメルクはあくまで自然界の現象に対するア プローチ(本当はシュレリアのプログラムだが)であ るため、GDCに加盟していなくても自由に使うこと はできる. ただその場合、GDC管轄の研究施設は利 用できず、店売りのグラスノ結晶も購入できなくなる.

[Tenba] holds all the privileges and techniques related to Grathmeld. For any organization or individual to be able to use Grathmeld, it needs first the authorization from Tenba. The branch of Tenba called by the acronym [GDC] (Grathmeld Development Council) is in charge of the authorizations, and furthermore, it also researches on technological innovations to make the Grathmeld techniques the most efficient possible. The affiliated organization/individuals have to pay an annual fee, which are collected from their stores as royalties, and these are used as researching funds. This also allows Tenba to share equally the new discoveries and developed know-hows with all its associates. Even if this causes the monopolization of Grathmeld, it also gives the maximum benefit to the corporation. Still, to prevent the misuse of Grathmeld by ignorant people, and them causing disasters, there are a great number of control plans. However, because Grathmeld has been approached as if it was a natural phenomenon (though actually is a program made by Shurelia), the GDC allows the non-associates to use it freely. However, in these cases, they cannot use the investigation facilities under the jurisdiction of the GDC, nor they can buy or sell Grathnode Crystals in the shops.

The (Re)Discovery of the Reyvateils
Page 93:

レーヴァテイルの発見

第三紀が始まってからの数百年間、人々は『レーヴァ テイル』という言葉は知っていても、それが実際にどん な種族であるかは知らなかった. そのころ櫻商店は、店 舗を増やしてはいたものの、経営難に陥っていた. その 経営を回復させるカギが、『タトゥリスタ病』という先 天性の奇病あった. 治療に役立ったのが、櫻商店のア イテム『ダイキリティ』だったのである. その後、この 病はレーヴァテイルの素質が遺伝で色濃くでるためと判 明した. いっきに盛り返した櫻商店は名を『天覇』と改 め、さまざまな事業に手を伸ばすことになったのである.

The people learned again the word [Reyvateil] various hundreds of years after the Third Era started, but that was actually because they didn't know that the Reyvateils were a different race. During these times, the Sakura Store had overstocked on supplies and was falling into financial difficulties. And the key to recovering from these difficulties was the strange genetic disease called the [Tattoolist Disease], because its treatment was one of the items that the Sakura Store had: the [Diquility] crystals. After that, it was proved that all the cases of this disease were all a marked result of the hereditary Reyvateil characteristics. At once, the Sakura Store made a comeback and changed its name to [Tenba], and became able to partake in all kinds of business.

天覇 レーヴァテイル工房 Tenba - Reyvateil Workshop

エル エレミア教会がレーヴァテイルに投与し ている延命剤も、元をただせば『天覇』の発見に とって実用化されたものであった.

Even if the El Elemia Church can give to its Reyvateils their doses of Life Extending Agents, it would be more correct to say that they actually can do so because [Tenba] originally "discovered" it.

Tenba as an Army
軍としての天覇

人々は常に塔からの怪物襲撃や外敵にさらされている. こ れらに対抗できるのが『天覇』と『教会』でありレーヴァテ イルの部隊である. 天覇はこの世界にはびこる無数の異形の 者に関する研究と対策をするための組織を持っており、国家 軍隊のないソル シエールにおける巨大な軍隊の1つだとい える. 天覇は大陸に18の拠点を持ち、町村が襲撃を受けたり したときにはすぐに駆けつける. その人数は襲撃規模によっ てまちまちで、出動するレーヴァテイルもその位置に最も近 いポイントから優先的に出動する. そして状況の回復を行う. 特に安全特区と言われている地域である『空港都市ネモ』と 衛星3都市では住民は天覇に生活補償費を支払うか、教会 に会費を払うことで個人契約による保障が成されている. そ れ以外の辺境については、町村ごとに天覇が教会と契約を結 ぶ. その額は結構高く、大抵の場合村民で割勘にして支払 うことが多い. しかし村によって支払えない家もあるため、 ネモのような待遇は受けられない. 天覇が戦う相手の一つに『テル族』がる. テル族は塔の ガーディアンで、塔の謎を解明したり何かを発見しようとす る者を執拗なまでに攻撃するため、文明の進歩や、塔の秘密 の解明を目指す天覇にとって大きな障害となっている. しか し、天覇はレーヴァテイルを戦闘員として育て、さらにグラ スノアイテムの力と研究の成果によって、留まる所を知らな いほどにパワーを上げていっている.

The people was always attacked by monsters and other kinds of threats, and to be able to resist them, both [Tenba] and the [Church] made special Reyvateil units. Tenba began researching on measures for counterattacking these countless abnormal beings that rampaged through this world, and made the biggest army on the now demilitarized country of Sol Ciel. Tenba established 18 strategic points through the continent, and whenever the towns and villages were attacked, they would come immediately and counter these attacks. Since the number of the people that could be attacked was so great, the priority for mobilizing the Reyvateils would be given to the ones waiting on the nearest point to the area being attacked. And in that way, they could recover themselves from that situation. Especially safe is the Special Economic Zone of the [Airport City of Nemo] and its three satellite cities, given that their inhabitants pay a fee both to Tenba and the Church for individual contracts, which end turning into safety guarantees. The exception to this are the frontier villages, where the contracts are done in conjunction between Tenba and the Church. Given that the sum of money to pay is so great, the payment is generally divided between all the villagers. However, if even one household in the village doesn't pay, then the village won't receive the same kind of protection that Nemo has. Tenba has only fought once with other party until now: the [Teru Tribe]. The Teru Tribe are the guardians of the Tower, and because of that, they attack anyone that is obstinate enough to continue advancing through the Tower in search of explanations for its mysteries. Because of this, Tenba's desire to unravel the secrets of the Tower and advancing the civilization has found them as only an enormous hindrance. However, given that Tenba has Reyvateils brought up as combat personal, and furthermore, they have the power of the Grathnode items and the fruits of their researches, it's still unknown if the Teru could stop them with that raise of power.

The Treatment of the Reyvateils
レーヴァテイルの扱い

『天覇』に所属するレーヴァテイルは、任務も待遇もランクに よって異なる. Dクラスなどはもっとも過酷で、いわば『盾』で あり、級われ方も実に粗雑である. また、パートナーとして、レー ヴァテイルを守護する者がつくのだが、その質もレーヴァテイ ルのランクに応じて差がでるのである. Aクラスは優秀なパート ナーが1人につき1人割りあてられるが、Dクラスだと特定のパ ートナーが存在しない. ミッション開始時に、AないしはBクラ スのパートナーが臨時でつき、それもDクラス10 ~ 20人にパ ートナー1人という割り当てなのである.

In regards to the Reyvateils that work in [Tenba], their jobs and the treatment they receive are dependant on their rank. The D-Class ones receive the hardest jobs, so to speak, they are pretty much treated as simple [shields]. Still, each Reyvateil is paired with a partner that is charged with her protection, and depending, and they respond differently depending on the rank and the characteristics of the Reyvateil. An A-Class Reyvateil is paired with an excellent partner, but the D-Class ones aren't paired with an specific partner. At the time of a mission, from 10 to 20 D-Class Reyvateils will be assigned to a single Class-A or Class-B partner.

Aクラスだと、パートナーの決定は双方の意思を尊重し、 最大の力を発揮できるように相思相愛の仲となるようお膳立 てされるほど. 一方Dクラスはまるで双隸のような級いだ.

The A-Class Reyvateil are so respected because of the great power they are able to use, that both them and their partners are decided by themselves, and set up the table to let them become potential lovers. On the other hand, the D-Class Reyvateils aren't seen as anything else but servants.

About the Church of El Elemia
Page 94:

エル エレミア教会

エル エレミア教会は13ポイントの拠点を持ち、『天覇』同 様、町村が襲撃を受けたりしたときにすぐ駆けつける. エレ ミア教会の歴史は、『天覇』の前身である『櫻商店』よりも古 い. 第二紀の戦争が終わり、ホルスの右翼が堕ちてまだ間もな いころ、左翼に住む人々で実際何が起こったのかしっかり把握 している者は少なかった. そこで事実を調査するために結成さ れた組織が、エル エレミア教会の始まりである. 調査が進むう ち彼らは、過去に栄華を誇った世界を記した文書『エル エレミ ア伝承』を発見する. 現在よりもはるかに平和で豊かな世界. その文書のキーとなっていたのが、謳うだけで大地を作り、人 々を癒し、そして炎を飛ばす3柱の神様. しかもその神は実在し たと記されていた. そして人々は教会を立ち上げた. その目的は 次第に『エレミア三謳神を復活させよう』という方向に偏って いく. 塔の上方に、太古の高度な文明を保持する地があるとい う. その『聖地』プラティナに行くことができれば、エレミア 三謳神も復活する、という話が定説となっていた. しかし、そ れもつい15年前までは本当に単なる彼らの心の拠り所でしかな かった. 伝承の具体的な史実も無ければ、謳う神様も居るのが 居ないのかわからない. そこへ突如現れたのが、フンァルスこ とカイエル クランシーである. 彼は『自分はエレミアの使徒』 であると断言し、レーヴァテイルの力を何倍にもする伝説的な 技『ハーモニクス』をやってのけた. さらに、エレミア三謳神 復活の手順さえ知っている. 時の教会幹部は彼を『聖人』とし て教会へ招き、高い地位を与えた. そしてエレミア三謳神光臨 を現実的に現実するための部隊を編成し、実行動に出はいめた のである.

The Church of El Elemia has 13 strategic points, similar to how Tenba has its own points, to go in help of any town or village that gets attacked. The story of the Church of El Elemia is much older, and goes far back than the story of the predecessor of [Tenba], the [Sakura Store]. During the war of that ended the Second Era, when the Right Wing of Horus fell into the Sea of Death, almost no one of the inhabitants of the Left Wing knew exactly what was happening. So they organized a party to investigate what happened in truth, and that was the start of the Church of El Elemia. When they were investigating, they discovered a document, the [Legends of El Elemia], that boasted about the glory of the past civilizations, which were far more peaceful and wealthy than the present world. And the key to these civilizations were described as a trio of goddesses that could create land, heal the people, and even shoot fire, just by singing. Furthermore, it even said that these goddesses actually existed. This made the people start the Church, whose goals gradually came to be [Let us revive the Trio of Elemia]. It was theorized that on the top floors of the Tower, there was a land sustaining a very ancient an advanced civilization, and that if someone was able to reach that [Holy Land], Platina, the Trio of Elemia would revive. However, until 15 years ago, their truly simple minds didn't have any grounds for these theories, and their legends weren't based on true historical facts, so they didn't even know if the Goddesses actually existed or not. Then, Kyle Clancy, calling himself Falss, suddenly appeared before them. He announced [I am an Apostle of Elemia], and performed before the people the fabled art of [Harmonics], which multiplies the power of the Reyvateils. Furthermore, he even said that he knew the complete process for the revival of the Trio of Elemia. The church executives at the time invited him to the Church as a [Saint], and gave him a very high position in the church ranks. Afterwards, Falss formed an special group for making reality the coming of the Trio of Elemia, and began carrying out the necessary tasks for that purpose.

ファルス司祭の隠し部屋 Bishop Falss' Secret Chamber

The Three Magi (literally: The Three Sages)
三賢者

カイエル クランシーは、プラティナ を管理していた『三賢者』の一人. 彼は 『エレミア誓約書』を快く思っておらず、 強大な魔法により、栄華に満ちた世界を とりもどすことに憧れた. ある日カイエ ルは、秘密に気づいてしまう. シュレリ アから『塔のウイルスの根源』としか聞 いていなかった『シャドウ』に、ヒュム ネコードがあったのだ. 『MULE_TEI WAZ_ARTONELICO』. 管理者クラス のレーヴァテイルしか持たない三文節コ ードである. 彼はミュールと古代のアル トネリコ史を必死で勉強し、ミュールの 力の強大さ、復活方法など、あらゆる知 識を得た. ついにはミュールがシュレリ アに取って代わる者として作られたこと を知る. だがミュールの再生を試みた彼 は、当時の星詠によって発見されてしま う. 結果、戦いとなり、導力プラグから 落ちた彼は『死亡』とされた.

Kyle Clancy was one of the three ones that administrated Platina, called the [Three Magi]. He never agreed with the purpose of the [Covenant of Elemia], and always yearned to regain a world filled with splendor and more powerful magic. A certain day, Kyle realized this in secret: he heard from Shurelia that [the root of the viruses that appear from the Tower] was not only [Shadow], but also a Hymn Code: [MIR_TEIWAZ_ARTONELICO]. A three word-long Hymn Code that was impossible for an Administrator-class Reyvateil to have. He began to frantically study about the story of the ancient times of Ar tonelico and Mir, about Mir's great power, about methods for reviving her, and finally managed to get a grip on all of that knowledge. And finally, he even knew how to make Mir supplant Shurelia as the Administrator. However, when he was going to test this, he was discovered by the Reyvateil that was the Hoshiyomi at the time. The consequences were that they fought, and Kyle fell from the border of the Symphonic Reactor, thus making everyone in Platina declare him as [Dead].

Function
Page 95:

機能

教会の役割は、主に『人々に安息 の地をもたらすこと』と『エレミア 三謳神の探索』の2点である. 教会 は、『天覇』よりもリーズナブルな『寄 付』と、無条件の町内への教会の建 設を条件として、町村の保護を行っ ている. 基本的に、契約した町村は 町ぐるみで教会の会員となる. また、 『天覇』との衝突が激しい、ネモを 中心とする安全特区内では、『天覇』 と同じ個人サポートも行っている. 『エレミア三謳神』につい ては、ファルス司祭が現れるまで、 具体的な手法は確立されていなかっ た. 計画を立てて遺跡を探索し、め ぼしいものを持ち帰って調査するだ けである. もっとも盛んであったの は、『聖地プラティナへの旅』の挑戦. だがプラティナに辿り着くまでには 『テル族』が強大な力で防いでおり、 たとえ彼らをかいくぐったとして も、つぎは『氷の瞳』で足止めをく ってしまう. 空を飛んでいこうにも、 やはり氷の瞳付近でブラストライン からの放電を受け、墜落してしまう のが常であった.

The main two functions of the Church are [Give to the people a land where they can be comfortable], and [the Search for the Trio of Elemia]. The Church asks for [contributions] that are more reasonable than the fees that [Tenba] asks, including the construction of a church in the town, as conditions for granting their protection in exchange, and their contracts are town/village-wide. Basically, all the inhabitants of the town/village that sign the contract with the Church become members of it after the contract has been signed. However, to be able to compete with [Tenba] in the center of the Special Safety Zone where Nemo is located, they also support individual contracts, like [Tenba] does. In regards to the [Trio of Elemia], until Bishop Falss appeared, there weren't any concrete methods for making them descend. The only plans they had were the exploration of historic ruins, while taking back any artifacts they found for their posterior investigation, and it was quite popular to take the challenge of the [Journey to the Holy Land of Platina]. However, even if they could hardly slip through the Pheyna Gate and protects themselves against the great power of the [Teru Tribe], the next part of the Tower, the [Frozen Eye], wasn't anything but a dead end because of its sealed warp gate. And if they tried to approach to the Frozen Eye from the air, their airships would receive electrical discharges from the Blastline, and would always end crashing.

ティリア神 Goddess Tyria/Tylia:

三謳神として知られる名は、エオリア、フレリア、 ティリア. それは3体のオリジンの名である.

The only thing that is known about the Trio of Elemia are their names: Eoria/Eolia, Frelia, and Tyria/Tylia. These are the names of the Three Origin Reyvateils, too.

Hierarchical Structure
組織構造

『司祭』を最高位とする『神官』 という職と、レーヴァテイルがなれ る『聖女』という職が存在する. 神 官職には『総司』『大神官』『神官』『神 官候補生』の4種類があり、大神官 と神官は必ず聖女であるレーヴァテ イルと一対一のパートナーを組む. 司祭と総司はレーヴァテイルをパー トナーにもつことができず、それ以 前にいた場合もパートナーを解消し なければならない. ちなみに、ラー ドルフは総司に昇格する前はフェイ マというパートナーがいた. 『聖女』として教会に入籍したレ ーヴァテイルは、聖女としての教育 を1力月間受けた後に、『洗礼』と いうあ儀式でパートナーとなる神官を つけられる. この神官はほとんどの 場合、神官候補生から選ばれる. 選 出は総司からの任命によるが、たい てい『聖女』の意志が尊重されるた め、総司が指名をすることは滅多に ない. 相当強いAクラスのレーヴァ テイルで、相応のメルク技能を持っ た神官でないと対応できない場合な どに総司による任命が行われる. 神官候補生も聖女も、教会に身体を預 ける身になると、ほとんど家には帰 れない. 基本的に生活保障はされて いるが、企業『天覇』のように給料 は支給されない. ハイリスク ハイ リターンの企業側に比べると、教会 は制約が多く、安定はしているが質 素な生活だといえるだろう.

The Church is structured in two parts: the [Priests], which have the [Bishop] as the highest rank, and the [Holy Maidens], which is the rank that the Reyvateils have when they join. The Priests are divided in the following four ranks: [Cardinals], [High Priests], [Oracles] and [Candidates], but only the High Priests and the Oracles are guaranteed to have a Holy Maiden Reyvateil as their partner. The Bishop and the Cardinals aren't able of having a Reyvateil as a partner, so they don't have any choice but cancel their partnership with their Reyvateil once they ascend ranks. For example, Radolf used to have a Reyvateil partner called Fayma before he rose to the Cardinal rank. As for the Reyvateils that join as [Holy Maidens], they receive a one-month training after their entry, and are partnered with one Priest after a ceremony called the [Baptism]. Usually, the Reyvateil has the right to choose her partner from any Priest that is higher than the Candidate rank. However, there are some cases in which the Cardinal has to assign a partner for them, but given the respect for the wishes of the [Holy Maidens] in the Church, is a very rare event that the Cardinal assigns a partner for one of the Reyvateils. However, for the extremely strong A-Class Reyvateils, the Cardinal will assign each one of them to a Priest that has Melding abilities befitting of their power. In the case of the Candidates and the Holy Maidens, given that they have entrusted themselves completely to the Church, they usually aren't able of returning home. They basically have guaranteed a normal lifestyle, though their salaries aren't nowhere as high as the ones that the [Tenba] Corporation gives. In comparison to the High Risk-High Return that Tenba has, the Church has many restrictions, but allows to have a modest, yet stable lifestyle.

謳姫と守護者の像 Statue of the Songstress and the Guardian:

この象のモデルは、実はシュレリアとタスティ エーラ. 世界を救った2人への漠然としたイメージが、 いつしかこのような形となった.

The models for this statue were actually Shurelia and Tastiella. However, because the image of the two people that saved the world was so obscure to everyone, it ended having this shape.

The Legends of El Elemia and Goddess Mir
エル エレミア伝承とミュール神

エル エレミア伝承を信奉する教会. 本来『エレミア三謳神』を崇めていたは ずが、ファルス司祭の陰謀してしまったこと は、ほとんどの神官にとって屈辱的なこ とだっただろう. しかし、そのミュールもまた第三紀の 人々に崇められていた. それもエレミア 三謳神の再臨として、エレミア三謳神の 神殿で崇められていたのだ. 第二紀にお いて、ミュールはエレミア三謳神が伝承 (=第一紀) で実現したそのほとんどを、 一人で実現させていた. そのため、大崩 壊の火種となるまでの彼女を信奉する 人々がいたのは、世間的に見てもごく自 然なことだったと思われる.

The Church worships the Legends of El Elemia.

Essentially, they have always worshiped the [Trio of Elemia], but because of the conspiracies that Bishop Falss was scheming, its Priests committed disgraceful actions.

However, the one that the people of the Third Era was actually worshiping was still Mir, and that is because she was considered the second coming of the Trio of Elemia, and she was even worshiped in the Temple of Elemia. During the Second Era, Mir was the one that made the legends of the Trio of Elemia (which date back to the First Era) true, and she did all of that alone.

Therefore, it's quite natural that the people were worshipping her before she turned into the cause of the great collapse of the Right Wing of Horus.

伝説の正体も知らず、『エル エレ ミア伝承』を追い求める教会は、カイ エルにとって絶好の組織だった.

The Church, whose members didn't know the true shape of the [Legends of El Elemia] that they were pursuing with so much determination, was the perfect organization for Kyle and his objectives.

Song Magic
Page 96:

詩魔法

The Hymmnos Word

レーヴァテイルたちがコスモスフィアで紡ぎ出し、謳うことで具現化する詩魔法. それもアルトネリコの恩恵のひとつである.

By singing the Songs that they craft in their Cosmospheres, the Reyvateils are able to manifest them as Song Magic. That is the only blessing they receive from Ar tonelico.

レーヴァテイルが使う魔法は、詩魔法と ヒュムノスのふたつに大別される. 詩魔法 は塔から力を得て使う詩、ヒュムノスは塔 をコントロールする詩である. 詩魔法は、 インストールで強化することができる. ま た、人間とレーヴァテイルが同調すること で、レーヴァテイルに本来の能力の数倍の 力を発揮させる技もある. それは『ハーモ ニクス』と呼ばれている. 第三紀では『ハ ーモニクス』は伝説の技で、使えるのは上 に住む『エレミアの使徒』のみだと思われ ているが、実際はノウハウさえあれば、ホ ルスの翼の人間たちにも行うことができ る. 波動プロセスだが、ヒュムノスや詩魔 法はそのレーヴァテイルの意志を塔が読み 取って実行するものであるが、詩というも のは時間軸に沿ってシーケンシャルであ る. だが、塔は娘の思いと直結してるため、 塔が聞いているのは声から発される詩では なく、詩を謳っているときに彼女が思い描 く詩の全体像をサーチし、それを命令とし て実行しているのである. そのため、どの 瞬間、どのメロディーを謳っていようとも、 同じ効力を同じだけ発揮するのだ.

The magic that the Reyvateils can use is divided into two general categories: Song Magic and Hymmnos. Song Magic are the songs that they can use by receiving power from the Tower, while Hymmnos are the songs that control the Tower. Song Magic can be strengthened through Installs, and also, when a Reyvateil and a Human are in synchrony with each other, an special ability that multiplies the natural power of the Reyvateil is displayed. That ability is called [Harmonics]. In the Third Era, [Harmonics] is a legendary ability, thought to be used only by the [Apostles of Elemia] that live in the Upper World, though actually, the humans of Horus can also use it if they know the correct procedure for using it. This is a wave process in which the Tower reads the will of the Reyvateil, no matter if it's for Song Magic or Hymmnos, and then sequentially expands it on the time axis. However, because of the direct connection between the feelings of the girl and the Tower, the Tower can't listen to the song that her voice produces, so whenever a Reyvateil sings, the Tower searches for the depicted feelings and thoughts in her song, and executes the commands contained within. Because of that, it doesn't matter in which moment or with which melody the song is sung, it will still manifest the same effects with the same efficiency.

詩魔法は、青魔法、緑魔法、赤魔法の 3種がある. レーヴァテイルのコスモス フィアで新しい詩魔法を紡ぐのだ.

The Song Magic is divided into three kinds: Blue Magic, Green Magic, and Red Magic. The Reyvateils craft new Song Magic inside of their Cosmospheres.
