Sol Ciel

This is the region used as the setting for Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia. Its name means Shining Sky/World in Hymmnos language.

It's known for being the area where both the Father of Sound Science and his descendant, Eleno, were born. Eleno was known as the great researcher on his times, and thanks to him, it was that the Tower of Ar tonelico was finally built in this region. This region used to have good diplomatic relationships with the rest of the world, except for the region of Sol Cluster, which were their most bitter enemies.

These diplomatic relationships were what made possible the construction of the Second Tower in Metafalss, and also, what made possible the unification and standardization of the Hymmnos dialects under the Central Standard Note.

Its former capital was the city of El Elemia (and also its successor city: Neo Elemia); but after the Grathnode Inferia catastrophe, the survivors moved into the floating land that was created some years after the Tower, the Wings of Horus, and established in there. Neo Elemia was lost together with millions of lives when the Right Wing of Horus fell into the Sea of Death during Mir's Rebellion, so now, its current capital is the Airport City of Nemo.
