Marchen Garten

Märchen Garten (メルヒェンガルテン) also known as the Fairy Garden Castle (お伽の庭城) is a virtual location created by the Marduk Company.
== Background ==
Building upon the technology from their virtual battle simulator β, the Märchen Garten is the first virtual space service on the Zemuria continent that utilizes the tactical orbment Xipha and the orbal network. After research and development, the service has been significantly updated and expanded.
By reading vast amounts of data from the conductivity network, it is possible to create large areas, making it easy for users in remote locations to access the same virtual space. Users create an avatar that may not correspond directly to their genuine appearance, even to the point where a different gender can be selected.
The system itself consists of several levels which can be progressed through, with bosses and rewards unlocked.

Mirabel Aalton is the administrator for the Märchen Garten. She requests the assistance of Van Arkride and the Arkride Solutions Office when control of Märchen Garten is forcibly taken from them by an unknown party (later revealed to be Garden-Master and the advanced AI Altera. Van and the party are forced to play through the levels in order to clear the system and return it to MTSC's administrative control.
Throughout the story, the Garten is used to deploy simulations of locations, particularly when certain characters are undergoing Erosion. Such locations include the Longlai Waterfall, the Vashtar Palace Ruins and Stone circle near Creil. The Garten can also simulate beings and creatures encountered by the users, up to and including a copy of Vagrants-Zion who took over from Garden-Master after his defeat, Metatros-Zion. After defeating this entity, control is finally restored to Marduk and Mirabel.
