The ancient technologies, known as Lost Technologies, and the modern ones 
were mingled into this artificial region, Metafalss. We will now try focusing 
your attention into the structure and construction of this world.

An artificial satellite located in the space, outside of the atmosphere 
of this planet. It's in here that the Dynamic D-Waves (Symphonic Power, 
the source of Song Magic) that created the Tower and the Rim are originated, 
and the responsible for the maintenance of both structures until the current 
days.

The [Tower] built by the best of the technologies located in Sol Ciel is 
called [Ar tonelico], howver, the Second Tower that was built in Metafalss 
is also called [Ar tonelico]. This because the word Ar tonelico is a general 
term for describing [the Symphonic Power amplifier that was designed and 
developed by Sol Ciel, and all of its annexed facilities], which is the 
reason why all the Towers from the First to the Third are called Ar tonelico.
The Second Tower that was built in Metafalss doesn't have the capabilities 
of a Song Server, and that is because its main purpose was to create the new 
continent of [Metafalica] over the land of Metafalss. However, because of 
the Grathnode Inferia, the construction of the Tower was stopped at its 
cusp part, and because of it, it remained in that form until the current 
times.

At a glance, you can notice that Metafalss has many places within its unique 
scenery. The people lives upon the place they built on the summit of the 
Tower, [Pastalia], and on the circular structure that surrounds the Tower, 
the [Rim]. The Song Server of Infel Phira floats in the skies above them, 
and far higher, outside of the atmosphere, floats the artificial satellite 
of [Sol Marta].

The Tower itself was only built up to its cusp, which is the bell-shaped 
part, and it was stopped there. And despite the passing of more than 700 
years, this Tower, contrary to the First Tower of Sol Ciel, hasn't weathered 
at all, and continues shining beautifully. It doesn't have the capabilities 
of a Song Server.

This world is maintained by a pendulum theory, whose summit is Sol Marta 
itself. Putting it simply, whenever most of the population is still asleep, 
the world sways at a microscopic width. Strictly speaking, the amplitude 
of the oscillation is of approximately 500 Stons (1.5 km), and its simple 
harmonic oscillation for coming and going has been calculated, and it takes 
around 581 seconds (9 minutes and 41 seconds) to do the complete movement.
By this oscillation movement, the world rotates 180 degrees per day (north 
and south exchange positions), and the next day, it returns to its normal 
state (the Foucault Pendulum Theory). This special world movement has been 
called the [Simple Harmonic World Oscillation], and it's the cause of many 
unique phenomena that happen within the land of Metafalss. As an example, 
we have both the sunrise and the sunset. Each day, the direction from the 
sun rises changes, and likewise it happens to the sunset, so in Metafalss 
the sun of the odd-numbered days is called the [East Sun], and the sun of 
the even-numbered days is called the [West Sun].

い、それらの稼動機関について解説していこう。
Given that the Second Tower wasn't planned to be functioning for long periods 
of time, it wasn't outfitted with the systems that were necessary for doing 
so. With that said, given that there were also a great number of employees 
working at such a high altitude, they had to plan again the number of years 
the Tower would have to remain operational until it was completed, and that 
was the reason for them to create the mechanisms and systems for the construction 
of an appropriate environment for life. Even if most of people doesn't know 
them as anything else than Lost Technologies, here we will explain about 
these systems and mechanisms.

This world is located on a floating land of sorts, and it takes as the base 
level the altitude over the [Sea of Death], beginning at [0 Stons over the 
Clouds], thought the altitude of this world is actually around the same 
level of the highest mountains of the Himalaya range. Because the environment 
is so harsh, the people had to create an artificial environment to live, 
and couldn't afford to fail in doing so. Much like Sol Ciel has its [Musical 
Corridor] weather control system, Metafalss also has an equivalent, called 
the [Wings of Hynemos]. This is basically a system for mainly controlling 
the atmospheric temperature and pressure, the gravity, and the precipitation 
levels. However, given it wasn't planned to be a system that saw perpetual 
use for such a long time span, there are some faults on its accuracy, and 
its range its particularly more narrow than the one of the Musical Corridor.
This means that there weren't any plans to build a floating land around 
the Second Tower, unlike the [Wings of Horus] (setting of the first game) 
that exist around the First Tower. And also, the facility where the controls 
for the Wings of Hynemos are kept is inside of the upper part of the bell-like 
section of the Tower, meaning that the system itself is in the inner zones 
of the Tower.
While it also has the Hexagonal Plates rotating around its location, much 
like the Musical Corridor, its unique exterior appearance is pretty impressive.

The cylindrical structure that we can see being a maintained at the top 
of the Second Tower, which looks as if it was supporting Pastalia, is the 
facility where the controls for the Wings of Hynemos are. It's surrounded 
by eight floating Hexagonal Plates, though the Plates are pretty small, 
and don't reach even a 1/10 the size of the Plates used by the First Tower's 
Musical Corridor. Because of that, their effective range is much narrower.

Established as the core of this world, the [Gyroscope] is a system designed 
for calculating the Simple Harmonic World Oscillation. When the Tower was 
still being designed, it was thought that would be a good idea to have an 
accurate measuring instrument, a sensor that could perceive the course and 
amplitude of this world, according to the natural clouts.
This world is provided of Symphonic Power and sustained by Sol Marta, and 
because of its pendulum movement, the Gyroscope is always measuring the 
amplitude, degree of movement, and change of position of the core, and this 
is what allowed increase the accuracy of the calculations, until the point 
in which it could calculate the absolute position of this world.

It's the circular mechanism located in the lower part of the Second Tower, 
positioned as if it was encircling the Gyro Stabilizer.
It had the role of measuring the movements on all directions, and after 
being corrected by the Gyro Stabilizer, get used as the main reference during 
the creation of the Tower. It was established in the region where Mint Block 
(the Ironplate Desert) is located.

The [Gyro Stabilizer] is a system designed to judge if the amplitudes detected 
by the Gyroscope have any measurement errors, and corrects the direction 
and amplitude whenever that happens. It's because of this that the Simple 
Harmonic World Oscillation could be reduced, and remove external factors 
to the Oscillation itself such as the wind, and had the purpose of allowing 
the Second Tower to be made without any design mistakes.

This is the protuberance pointing down that can be seen when looking the 
world from the underside. It's connected to the lowest residence stratums 
of Pastalia (the Slums) through an elevator, though it hasn't been used 
in ages. In the innermost part of this facility is where the Hymn Crystal 
[Viena] was stored by Raki.

All of the physical structures we can see sticking out from the Sea of Death 
in Metafalss are pretty much mere [virtual images]. Actually it would more 
accurate to say that everything is made up from Symphonic Power (Dynamic 
D-Waves), and structure in a way that is far more complex than normal Song 
Magic. And the facility that crafts this song is [Sol Marta], which is floating 
beyond the highest strata of the atmosphere. The people are basically living 
upon structures that could be described as holograms created by Sol Marta.
Its name means [Motherly Light] in Hymmnos, and its purpose is constantly 
emitting Dynamic D-Waves to preserve the structures that were created through 
it: the [Drafters] and the [Second Tower]. However, Sol Marta itself is 
no more than the system for doing so, while the one that actually crafted 
and sings the Song that created and maintains these structures is a Reyvateil 
Origin. This why said Singer, who is Frelia, was called the [Goddess] by 
the people of Metafalss. Frelia was originally sent to this region so she, 
together with Sol Marta, could create the continent of Metafalica (details 
on P.079).

through conventional methods.

The most eye-catching part that we can see in the exterior of Sol Marta 
may be the Grathnode-made disc that surrounds it. This Grathnode Disc has 
the purpose of converting Frelia's Song into Dynamic D-Waves using the output 
power it holds as a subordinate facility of the First Tower. It's because 
of this that the Second Tower can continue existing.

This is the characteristic glass sphere chamber that is located in the own 
heart of Sol Marta. This enormous glass sphere is called the [Ar Ciel Sphere],
and it's the place where Frelia sang and dance to, little by little, create 
the Tower. If you looked down from this area, the blue shine of the planet 
of [Ar Ciel] would be reflected in your eyes, while if you looked up, you 
would be able to see an entire sky filled with stars. This area is essentially 
empty, with the exception of a big crossroad without rails, and that was 
because this space was intended only for Frelia's singing. And well, given 
that the Ar Ciel Sphere is taken as part of Sol Marta when looked of the 
outside, this is the reason why it has the same shape as a Heart of the 
Land. From that, you would be able to guess that the Ar Ciel Sphere is the 
[Heart of the Land of Sol Marta].

It's a huge area located in the very center of Sol Marta. This was the very 
same place that Enja raided back in the Second Era, and the same place in 
which Croix's group fought their final battle against Rhaki.
This time, Croix's group managed to reach Sol Marta thanks to Luca singing 
EXEC_VIENA/. and making the [Tower to the Heavens] reappear.

As you might have guessed from the stories in the Metafalss History section 
(check on P.079 for reference), Sol Marta wasn't built by the people of 
Metafalss. Because of that, its administration and management was on the 
hands of the Elemians, the residents of the First Tower. And if an emergency 
occurred, they had another way of keeping Sol Marta under their control, 
in the form of the Maintenance Droid, [Rhaki].
With the exception of maintenance and administration of the systems, she 
was in charge of the provision and suspension of the flow of Dynamic D-Waves 
of Sol Marta, though she didn't have complete authority to interrupt said 
flow based on her own judgment, and her decisions actually were always left 
to the information she received from the First Tower.
The information that Rhaki received from the First Tower were divided in 
two categories: the first one was information that the humans sent her about 
specific events, and in normal conditions, while the other was information 
sent from an automatic manual, which was only sent in emergency situations.
According to the instructions featured in the later one, which Rhaki could 
receive from any of the two Towers, if anything happened to Frelia, she 
would automatically counterattack the cause, and she also is able to lower 
the Symphonic Power output of Sol Marta.

Because of the happening of the Grathnode Inferia on 3040 AD, the communications 
with the First Tower were permanently cut off, and Frelia, in her complete 
isolation, decided to enter into a Cold Sleep Pod. Said Pod was located 
in her room inside Sol Marta, farther deep inside than the Ar Ciel Sphere, 
and around it, with the passage of the long years and months, the plants 
began sprouting. In just a flash, they began overflowing around the Pod, 
and in a short time, one of them became a gigantic World Tree, which would 
be later on known as the [Tree of Marta].
The Tree of Marta had as its heart the Pod where Frelia was sleeping, from 
where it began growing, and no one knew where it would stop, and after some 
time, it ended created a forest that was around five times the size of Sol 
Marta. This marvelous grassland that could be seen be looking up to the 
space was called [Soragahara/Celestial Plains*]. To be more exact, the green 
field that extended in front of Croix's group while they were climbing up 
the Tower to the Heavens in the current times was the Celestial Plains.
*The name is a pun on 高天原/Takamagahara (High Plains of the Heavens),
which is the dwelling place of the Kami (Gods) on the Japanese Mythology.

The [Divine Drafters] that were created for the creation of the Tower in 
this world are actually four rings that receive the name of [Drafter Rings]. 
The Rings are classified into two kinds: the horizontal one that has a metallic 
surface over it, and over which the people made their living is called the 
[Conductor Vision (CV)], and the three rings that surround this world are 
all called the [Drafter Vision (DC)].
The three DV rings that rotate in the external part of this world have as 
an distinctive characteristic that all of them rotate at different radiuses, 
angles, and altitudes. Again, the CV, which is known as the [Rim] in the 
current times, also has its own unique characteristics. Although it is larger 
than the DVs thanks to its horizontal surface, it was originally designed 
just to be a drafter, and as such, its width can't be expanded even more. 
And despite this, the people of the Rim managed to make their lives upon 
the little space that the ring had. They managed to build a railroad network 
over this thin ring, cultivated land little by little, and despite the hardships,
they carried on their lives.

Contrary to the approximately 400 Stons (1.2KM) of diameter that the Tower 
has, the gigantic rings of the DV, even the smallest one, have around 4800 
Stons (14.4KM) of diameter. Under normal conditions, Frelia deployed these 
rings into the foremost line of her work zone, and created the Tower with 
them, but after the Grathnode Inferia, the three Rings completely stopped 
functioning.

An enormous ring whose diameter is of around 4700 Stons (14.1KM). Given 
that the width of the ring is somewhat irregular, it has various places 
where it is wider than other, of which the widest one is of around 200 Stons 
(600M), while the narrowest one is of 5 Stons (15 Meters), which makes up 
a pretty harsh environment. However, since 3313 AD, this Ring stopped being 
a complete circle, given that one of its parts collapsed and fell off.

After Frelia operated the CV and the DV, this Lens virtually formed the 
materials for the Tower from thin air whenever it was exposed to an strong 
burst of light. This is the most visible of the Lost Technologies that can 
be seen in the surface of the Rim, and at the foot of the Lens is where 
the final station of the Souffle Axis, the Promised Hill, is located.

Wharf, and while in the current times it's just another piece of Lost Technology,
in its past days, it had the role of controlling the sequence of execution 
for the Divine Drafters, and at the same time, as the device for authenticating 
the singer that was creating the Tower.

Given that the plans for the creation of the Tower are drawn from the DV, 
the DV itself exposes a lot of lines made of light, and these lines are 
actually a wireframe draft (drafter) drawn on the internal spaces of it, 
which were copied to the CV. The remains of this can be seen in the underground 
tunnels of the Dreamy Fields, which allow you to see the entrails itself 
of this world. This is because these tunnels are actually ruins from establishments 
that have existed since more than 700 years ago and until the current times, 
easily discernible from the colors they have. And this is because the inside 
of CV, namely the Rim, was drafted by the DV, but there weren't any plans 
for how wide it was going to be at the end, from the start it was something 
comparable to a papier mache structure.

ending completely revealing these light lines when the construction of the 
Tower came to a complete stop.

Infel Phira is the device that was developed as a Metafalss-exclusive Song 
Magic server to replace the First Tower of Ar tonelico. Here, we will be 
giving some explanations about its functions and the reasons behind its 
creation.

Infel Phira means [Seed of Love] in Hymmnos, and its name comes from the 
fact that it was the device developed with the purpose of fulfilling the 
dream of the people of Metafalss, the creation of Metafalica. It was the 
only main structure made completely by the Metafalssians, and as the crystallization 
of the sciences at the time, it wasn't something that was built during the 
First Era. In the current times, Infel Phira merely continues floating in 
the skies above Metafalss, and it was born in the Second Era as a result 
of the proposal of Metafalss continuing with the Metafalic Project by themselves.
It would be a completely different matter from the Project they had developed 
in conjunction with El Elemia during the First Era.
The successful development of Infel Phira meant that Metafalss didn't have 
to continue depending on the First Tower, and as such, they received a Song 
Magic Server which could be accessed through the unique dialect of the [New 
Testament of Pastalie]. Thanks to this, the dream of Metafalica becoming 
a reality finally became possible.
===The Specifications of Infel Phira===

As a Song Magic Server, Infel Phira has only a 1/1000 of the power that 
Ar tonelico has (details in P.091). However, it also has some unique specifications,
such as: [Being able to be accessed by its exclusive and optimized Hymmnos 
dialect, the New Testament of Pastalie], [Having Three Modes], and [Having 
more superficial Shared Consciousness Fields]. These all are special capabilities 
that Ar tonelico doesn't have.
And with Metafalss having access to these unique functions, it was specialized 
for the role in would play in the creation of Metafalica.

It floats in the skies above the Tower, a little higher than the highest 
point of the Tower. Its outer circumference is surrounded by blocks arranged 
in different levels, which shape up the various flat rings that coil around 
it, and the sphere itself that makes up the main body is structured by blocks 
as well. It was damaged during the War that happened back in 3313 AD.
===The History of the Infel Phira Project===
　メタファリカ伝説ははるか古代から存在して
いたが、実現の鍵であるインフェル・ピラの構
想がまとまるまでの歴史は意外なほど浅い。
詳細はメタ・ファルス史(P.079参照)に詳しい
が、ここではインフェル・ピラ関連に絞った歴
史について解説していこう。そもそもの構想の
発端は、ジャザが考案したメタファリカ理論で
ある。これは第一紀の音科学理論の応用から

大陸を紡ぐというものだった。しかしこの理論
では絶対に成功しないため、考案当時は闇に

新たに生まれたインフェル・ピラ構想が、現代
のインフェル・ピラの建造につながったものだ。
Even if the Metafalica legends have existed since very ancient times, it 
was pretty unexpected that the keys for their realization didn't finish 
appearing until the Infel Phira Project was settled.
The details about it can be found on the Metafalss History (P.079) section, 
so here we will just limit to explain the history related to Infel Phira. 
For starters, the origin of this project was the Metafalica Theory that 
Jaza invented. This was the practical usage of many Sound Science theories 
that were established during the First Era, and it could be possible to 
create the continent by extracting limitless amount of the power that Sol 
Marta had. However, because it wasn't 100% fail-proof, what was thought 
to be a brilliant theory ended being forgotten in the darkness of history.
However, it later on served as the basis for when the Infel Phira project 
was born during the Second Era, and it's closely related to the creation 
of the Infel Phira we know from the current times.

儀式用コマンドを解説しよう。
Whenever a Reyvateil Downloads a Song from an Hymn Crystal, generally they 
have to be recognized by Ar tonelico through a confirmation ID called the 
[Hymn Code], which will then allow them to proceed with the Download.
However, in the case of Infel Phira, there isn't an equivalent identification system,
so it was planned that if the abilities of the IPDs that attempts the download 
are enough to meet the power requirements of the Hymmnos, then she will 
be able to perform the Download as she wishes, and if her abilities are 
insufficient, then the Download will automatically cancel itself out. Here 
we will be explaining the commands used during the Download Ceremony for 
Infel Phira.

is from an in Hymn Crystal [HC] to other HC, [r] denotes that the download 
is from a Reyvateil to an HC, and [x] that the download is from an HC to 
a Reyvateil. The [--x] used in the example above means that the download 
is from an HC to the Singer.
3) Emotion Verb (details on P.124): [tArm] means [expand/develop].
4) Format Mode: [azit] is the format for the Feelings of the Song that is 
sealed within the HC.

Infel Phira possesses a transformation capacity called [Mode Shift]. which 
can only be activated by the [Maiden of Mio(= the Queen)]. This was made 
with the purpose of allowing the change of Infel Phira's functions, though 
actually, after Infel failed at the created of Metafalica, this became a 
lost function until Cloche executed Replekia.
Originally, there were a total of six Modes planned for usage, but they 
were later on reduced to the half (only the three Modes described below 
with pictures) because the others were removed during the Second Stage. 
This was because all of the modes were intended to be used for any situation,
and some of them could be considered as extremely grave violations to the 
human rights. Still, given the kind of strings the Grand Bell was pulling 
behind the scenes and their intentions in doing so, it's easy to imagine 
for what they would be used. In the current times, the records related to 
the removed modes, starting with the Messela Mode, have been completely 
eliminated, and even the documents in which their names appeared have been 
lost.
===Sarre Mode===
　通常モード。澪の御子からの指令がないかぎ

The Normal Mode. And as long as it doesn't receive any orders from the Maiden 
of Mio, Infel Phira stays in this Mode.
Sarre Mode allows all the Reyvateils to have their own individual consciousness,
and at the same way, keeps the Shared Consciousnesses in a way in which 
they can't mingle with each other. In short, this the same condition the 
Standard Reyvateils have whenever they access to Ar tonelico, and it's also 
the Mode under which Infel Phira and the IPDs were made. This Mode is also 
know by the alternate name of [Individual Consciousness Mode].
In additions, in the current times, you might be able to see whenever you 
look to Infel Phira in the skies that it has suffered a great damage. These 
are the vestiges of Raki's counterattack during the War of 3313 AD.

Even if it doesn't unite the Shared Consciouness of the many IPDs, this 
Model unifies the Dynamic H-Waves that they emit, and allows them to craft 
them into a single Song. Among the unique things the IPDs have in their 
anatomy, there is the usage of the E-Spots (details on P.092), and since 
for the crafting of a Song it only needs the emission of Dynamic H-Waves, 
it doesn't need to open the Boundary Gates that the Reyvateils have within 
their Soulspaces. In short, it has the merit of letting the IPDs combine 
their powers without the associated risks that would come with the complete 
sharing of their Soulspaces.
For the execution of Replekia, the singer requires to have the [Queen 
Registry], and also, to be transcribed and registered as a Lv. 9 IPD. Only 
the IPDs that fulfill both conditions are qualified to be appointed as the 
[Maiden of Mio].
And furthermore, given that the power of a Song crafted through Replekia 
it's so immense, its use as a weapon had been highlighted a lot in the recent 
times. For example, this Mode was used in the 3770's for declaring the War 
to the Goddess.
===Tornekia (Metafalica) Mode===

の名を知る者は現在では皆無である。
In contrast to Replekia, which uses the E-Spots of the Reyvateils while 
their Boundary Gates are still closed, this Mode, also called the [Shared 
Consciousness Mode], completely releases the Shared Consciousnesses of all 
the Reyvateils. Historically, this Mode has only been used twice, and Grammul 
developed it as a Mode that would be exclusively used for the creation of 
Metafalica.
Originally, Tornekia was a Mode Shift triggered by a Metafalss Note Song 
called [METHOD_TORNEKIA/.]. However, once Infel noticed that this wasn't 
going to be enough for the creation of the land, she developed [METHOD_METAFALICA],
and given that this Song also server as a patch for EXEC_METAFALICA/., 
Tornekia Mode was reborn as [Metafalica Mode] (also known as the Land Consciousness 
Mode). Because of that, there isn't anyone now that knows the Tornekia name.
===Messela Mode===
This mode is commonly called the [System Control Mode]. By forcing a unilateral opening of the IPDs' Boundary Gates, it has the effect of making all the IPDs share the same knowledge without sharing their consciousness. It was planned to be used for control purposes during times of emergency, but as this would have allowed to control the IPDs without regard for their own wills, it became a large problem from the Reyvateil human rights viewpoint. While later on the Grand Bell issued a complete prohibition for it, ironically they lost the ability to control the IPD outbreaks due to the loss of this mode.
===Torcarrol Mode===
Called the [Limited Scope Consciousness Gathering Mode], it has the effect of measuring the sharing of consciousness between individuals in a limited way, and as it was developed as a step for investigating the plausibility of Tornekia, it is a version of Tornekia limited to a few people. This mode allows the single or multiple IPDs that have the Queen Registry (equivalent to the Maiden of Mio) to make the IPDs that are in a radius of approximately 10 Stons around the Queen automatically share their consciousness. It was considered this special characteristic would make it useful for localized warfare. Later on, the anomalous mode shift to Torcarrol ended up becoming the cause for the Negative IPD outbreaks.
===Deenelmaite Mode===
This mode strips the ego from all the currently living IPD Reyvateils and completely makes them into a single Reyvateil. As it allows them to reach a perfect synchronization state in a certain way of speaking, it was a greatly emphasized point during the development stage as the theory for the ultimate Reyvateil. However, research conducted afterward discovered a fundamental problem with it: after all the minds had fused into one, it would not be possible to revert them to individual minds even after the mode was changed back to Sarre. Given no solution was ultimately found for it, Deenelmaite was sealed away during the experimental stage.

difficult lives, they built an unique culture upon this land.

In the current year, 3772 AD, the total of the population residing in Metafalss 
has been estimated to be approximately 850.000 people, among which 69.000 
are residents of the city lodged in the top of the Tower, Pastalia. The 
most numerous among these people are the Human Metafalssians, which are 
the native residents of this land. This is because there wasn't a great 
flow of immigrants, given that the other countries are very far away from 
Metafalss, and furthemore, Metafalss is surrounded by many extremely high 
mountains. However, there are still some people that seem to have inherited 
features that only the descendants of the Cielians (Ciel-class people, and 
inhabitants of Sol Ciel) and Clusterians (Cluster-class people, and inhabitants 
of Sol Cluster) would have.

Among the total population, the PPR (Person Per Reyvateil) ratio is used 
to designate the awakened Reyvateils, while the PPPR (Person Per Potential 
Reyvateil) ratio is used to designate the ones that carry Reyvateil genes, 
but haven't awakened yet.
Given that around 40% of the Metafalssian women 
are all Reyvateils, this means that the PPPR ratio reaches the 78% mark, 
which is a so-high level that isn't seen anywhere else in the world. Actually,
while only the girls can manifest as Reyvateils, the boys also have these 
genes latent within them, so there is also a possibility that these genes 
aren't inherited from the mother, but rather, from the father. This is the 
reason why it's the typical method to apply the PPPR ratio to find out what 
could be the actual number of Reyvateils within the population.
The origin of this high Reyvateil ratio is because the fact that it has 
been said that the Reyvateil have always lived in Metafalss, with no periods 
in history in which they were absent. This was because if the supernatural 
powers of the Songs faded away, the Metafalssians wouldn't be able to survive 
in this harsh environment. To the people, the powers of the Reyvateils were 
like the powers of the gods, and after the Maiden of Mio, Infel, invented 
the Diquility (the Life Extending Agent), this had an extremely important 
effect in the increase of the Third Generation Reyvateil population.

A long time ago, the people that belonged to the minority people of Metafalss 
were the only inhabitants of this land, and even now, the total population 
is mostly comprised of people of this class (beyond a 70%).
Given that the 
Metafalssians are grounded on extremely spiritual ideologies, they despise 
the excessively materialistic civilizations, and given that they always 
looked forward to polish their spirits, they never forgot the true soul 
of the Songs, making them an unique kind of people, so much to the point 
of drawing the line that makes them different from the Cielians and Clusterians.
Appearance-wise, they have as their characteristics having a thin hair 
that can go from golden to light brawn, and robust complexion. Of course, 
there also some that are of mixed blood with other classes.

Within the planet of Ar Ciel, there are two huge races, called the Cielians 
and the Clusterians, and this percentage indicates how many of each one 
of them live among the people of Metafalss.
The Cielians are the people that live in the region of Sol Ciel, which had 
El Elemia as its capital, having as their defining characteristics having 
light brown and wavy hair, and a relatively carefree disposition. On the 
other side, the Clusterians are the inhabitants of the region of Sol Cluster,
which had El Duel as its capital, and appearance-wise, they are characterized 
by having black and straight hair, and having a diligent, yet violent disposition.
Given the homogeneity of the Metafalssians, which comprise the largest 
population group of this land, both the Cielians and Clusterians are pretty 
much unusual races in here.
===The Terus===

The Terus are sub-race of the humans that use an unique kind of magic, and 
characterized by their horns, tail and brown skin, which also happens to 
make them half-dragon. They are scattered about around all the world, and 
a long time ago, and small group of them arrived even to the remote land 
of Metafalss.
On the Metafalss of the 3700's, the Terus are so few that they aren't even 
recognized as such, and typically, they are just recognized as the Dive 
Shop clerks. There were also some that survived hiding away within Kanakana 
Pier, but they were so few that they had to mix with other races, and as 
result, there weren't any pureblooded Terus left among the ones in Kanakana 
Pier.

The politics, economy and industries all have their origin and center in 
the capital city: that is, they are all gathered in Pastalia. The blessed 
city of Pastalia is the place to which everyone of the surrounding region, 
the Rim, before soon, there was a great number of people that was seriously 
thinking about moving there. However, to receive the right of residence 
in Pastalia, the people needed a certain tag, called a Plate. Only the people 
have been deemed applicable by the Pastalian authorities are considered, 
and among them, only a select few are chosen.
Furthermore, there are two kinds of Plates. The Meta-Plate, which was 
first issued during the times of the 19th Maiden, Illusha, and the Nero-Plate,
which is given to the people that have been recognized as qualified to 
live in Pastalia because of special reasons. Both of them give the same 
privileges to the bearer, though the Meta-Plate seems to have been issued 
the most. And regardless of which one is carried, both Plates have to be 
renewed at least once per month, and the process also entails paying a certain 
fee. These are the taxes that have to be paid in exchange for being able 
to live in Pastalia.

The middle and lower zones of Pastalia have a flat surface and as such, 
it's in there that agriculture was stretched. Given that they had to cultivate 
an extremely narrow area, they devised many methods for doing so, such as 
a farm that exists over a lake like a floating island, or a geoform that 
uses crystals and mirror to make the light of the sun reach these underground 
areas, which are facilities that should be named the crystallization of 
their knowledge.
The farmers are generally people of the lower classes or 
migrant workers that come from the Rim. However, despite the great efforts 
they make, the food that this land produces is far behind from the amount 
produced in the Wings of Horus. Because of this, even if the distribution 
of the food is rationated for the Pastalians, the quantity of food they 
receive is no more than the bare minimum to continue living.
===Commerce===

The heart of the commerce is the business district, which can be understood 
the easiest by how the residents call it the "Market". Although all of them 
are pretty prosperous, the middle-class citizens usually visit the most 
a market called the Star Market.
The Star Market is a place that was designated 
as an special economic zone where everyone can walk around freely, though 
the Pastalians still can't get used to this fact, since they get very surprised 
whenever the many customers from the Rim come. The markets have an extremely 
high responsibility because they are in charge of the distribution things 
such of food and luxury groceries.
Thanks to the conveniences brought by 
Sound Science, there are many shops that sell the items of daily necessity. 
Of course it has its underside, which is the black market that operates in 
the underground, and that is mainly used by the residents of the Slums. Here, 
the daily necessity items are often mingled with illegal stuff, and all 
of them are sold and bought at extremely high prices.

The factories and industries of Pastalia are all located in deeper levels 
than the business district, in ruins and abandoned buildings located in 
the inner zones of Pastalia that were reused for housing them. This because 
the land in the inner zones is cheaper, and also is pretty close to the 
energy source of Pastalia: the Water Mill.
Given that the Symphonic Power 
provided by the Water Mill has also plenty secondary usages, such as the 
trams and the elevators, both the public facilities and the factories make 
use of it as their energy source. Among the factories, most of them actually 
work in the developing of projects related to the public works, that have 
quite huge scope.
Before, this kind of industry was used extensively in 
the construction of gigantic cylindrical structures to keep the Tower stable,
and they suddenly received a great growth when they started manufacturing 
charge piles. And given that there are always great demands for remodeling 
and construction works, the construction industries are also very highly 
regarded.

Unlike Sol Ciel, in which the Reyvateils were treated as objects, in Metafalss,
while they were persecuted when they first arrived, with the passing of 
time, the people began to warm up to them, and eventually began respecting 
them. This became especially apparent after 3040 AD, the year of the Grathnode 
Inferia, when the powers of the Song Magic of the Reyvateils continued saving 
the people from all the troubles they had. Because of that, in the current 
times, the respect has reached a point in which the Reyvateils became extremely 
revered beings by the humans.
The most poignant difference in how the Reyvateils are treated in both lands 
could be how the distribution of the most important for their survival: 
the Life Extending Agent, Diquility, is handled. In contrast to Sol Ciel, 
where the Diquility was monopolized by the corporative giant Tenba and the 
Church of El Elemia, and they had to pay outrageous sums of money for it, 
in Metafalss it's provided to them by the Grand Bell at no cost, even if 
they live in the most remote areas of the Rim (though there are still some 
rare cases in which it doesn't get delivered at all). This also means that 
this is a much more favorable environment for the Reyvateils to live in.
However, even if the Reyvateils are regarded as the most revered beings 
in Metafalss, a special kind of them, called IPDs (Infel Phira Dependants) 
are an exception to this. The IPDs are a kind of Reyvateil unique to Metafalss,
and very dangerous because they sporadically lose consciousness and start 
attacking the people, so as soon an outbreak is discovered, a troop of the 
Grand Bell Knights is sent to quarantine and contain them. The IPD potential 
of the Reyvateils living in Metafalss is said to be present in about a 48% 
of the total Reyvateil population, of which the contained IPDs make around 
a 20% of said percentage.

The Reyvateils that live in Sol Ciel, for making themselves stronger, employ 
the following method: taking a Grathnode Crystal that has strong effects, 
and putting it in contact with their Install Port, to finally insert it 
(Install). However, this method also puts an strong burden over the body 
of the Reyvateil, and each Install inflicts a great pain in them, so in 
Metafalss, the Grand Bell devised a method in which the Reyvateils could 
get stronger without having to suffer so much several hundreds of years 
ago. Said method is called Dualstall, and it basically it's a process in 
which the waves contained in a Dualithnode Crystal enter into the body of 
the Reyvateil via osmosis.
This is made by disseminating the waves contained in a Dualithnode Crystal 
through a liquid in such a way that they can reach the Reyvateil, and this 
done in practice by submerging the crystals inside of a bathtub, and letting 
the Reyvateil bathe in it. By using this method, the Reyvateil is able to 
heighten her abilities in a comfortable way. However, the more stronger 
Dualithnode Crystals also emit waves that are as powerful as the effects 
they have, and in case a wave is too powerful, the Reyvateil will receive 
an hyperinfluence, which in the worst of cases can end up killing her. The 
only way to counter this problems is by dispersing the waves between various 
targets, so it is advised that many Reyvateils bathe together when performing 
a Dualstall.

After the Grand Bell was established as the government system, the central 
power was put in the hands of the Pope and the Maiden. The Pope was in charge 
of politics, and of ruling the citizens, while the Maiden guided the people 
a symbol of religious faith.
At these times, this kind of government had its merits, such as the political 
structure that allowed the parts in charge of faith and politics to have 
equivalent responsibilities and power, and it was considered as the ideal 
government system.
However, in 3751 AD, Alfman, taking advantage of the death of the current 
Pope, rose to the top of the political ladder, and assassinated the successor 
to the Pope. And after exterminating almost all of the Papal Family, he 
also killed Maiden Arshe, and established a regime through a coup d'etat.
Given that his way of doing things was so impatient, yet so coercive, the 
Alfman regime began to boisterously announce that they would realize Metafalica,
and the necessity of a war against the Goddess. And so, once he brought 
Cloche Leythal Pastalie to the Grand Bell in 3760 AD, and gave her the position 
of the Maiden, the people gave him an overwhelming amount of support.
So as a result, what could be Alfman`s true intentions? Despite having the 
mysterious man, Loude, behind him, Alfman was a very zealous believer of 
Metafalica, and had the utmost passion for the creation of these high ideals.
Because of this, when he learned the truth in Kanakana Pier... he told 
himself that he couldn't allow the people to be transmigrated into mental 
beings because of the Pact with the Goddess: the Hibernation Project. Alfman'
s goal was to defeat the Goddess, and create Metafalica for the sake of 
the people, and for that purpose, he needed the power of Replekia, the power 
that Cloche had as the Maiden of Mio. And also, because of the coercive way 
in which he had the authority of Metafalss in the palm of his hands, he 
silenced every possible opposition to his government. This also meant that 
the people of the Grand Bell that actually wished to carry on the project 
of transmigrating the minds of the people were tagged as unreliable by Alfman.

Once he attained the position of Chancellor,

In the internal structure of the Grand Bell previous to the 3100's, the 
one that had the highest level of power weren't the Pope and the Maiden, 
but a Maiden Chamber and its Guardians. The Maiden Chamber had the complete 
administration over all the government facilities and information, but under 
no circumstances their orders would invalidate the ones given by the Pope.
However, while the Maiden Chamber was under direct orders of the Pope, and 
had a privileged position because of it, the Pope had also to be careful 
that they didn't try to dictate any despotic laws. Once 3255 AD came about, 
the Tsukikanade and Guardian systems were abolished, and the Grand Bell 
proclaimed itself as a government system in which anyone from the people 
could freely pry in. On this same year, the Grand Bell slowly began undergoing 
a democratization process, and ended becoming both a government structure, 
and the armed militia of Metafalss.

Under the old regime, the person that held the highest degree of authority 
was the Maiden, and was revered as the only one that could hear the voice 
of the Goddess. She generated a lot of movement in the political scenario 
as the leader of the Maiden Chamber, and because of the many acts she did, 
she gained a lot of place in the hearts of the people, and her glamour was 
something that greatly extended the power of Metafalss as a nation.
On the other side, the Tsukikanade, the scholars that were in charge of 
explaining spiritualism, became researchers of Song Magic, and also became 
politicians. The Pope chose three from them that were experts on military, 
the politics, and wave science (Song Magic) and called them Guardians, which 
received the position of First, Second and Third Guardians, according to 
the reliance and trust the Pope had in them. Also, the twelve Tsukikanade 
formed a group called the [Sages], and they, together with the Guardians, 
had pretty exceptional abilities. However, in a relatively short time, the 
Tsukikanade lost their worth as Shamans, and on 3255, the Pope decided to 
abolish their existence together with the Guardians, so both groups were 
dissolved.

After having killed of both the successor of the Pope (Targana's father) 
and Maiden Arshe; and having established a completely new regime through 
his coup d'etat, Alfman went and performed a complete reformation on the 
structure of the Grand Bell. The most radical part of this was that the 
Maiden got removed of her duties as the highest part of the Grand Bell chain 
of command, and in contrast to the equivalent positions of the Maiden and 
the Pope, the Maiden was now under the orders of the Maiden Chamber, which 
was regulated by Alfman himself. This meant that the Maiden was deprived 
of the authority rights she had as the [One that heard and transmitted the 
Voice of the Goddess], and now was reduced merely to being the spokeswoman 
of the Grand Bell. The Imperial Guards that were under direct orders of 
the Maiden were also abolished, were integrated into the rest of the military 
forces.
However, nothing of this was actually revealed to the public, so the citizens 
of Metafalss
continued thinking during these times that the Maiden still was the one 
that held the highest authority in this land.

Leglius, which was chosen by Alfman himself as the Knight Captain, was one 
of the Imperial Guards under the direct orders of the Maiden in the previous 
regime. However, because of Alfman's reform of the entire system, in the 
current regime he belongs to the normal knights, given that the Imperial 
Guards got integrated into them. Even if the former Imperial Guards were 
abolished, they still are included among the ones that have the duty of 
protecting the Maiden.

Because of the increase of the damages caused by the IPDs, on 3754, a department 
was established for exclusively dealing with them. In the current times, 
it has been upgraded into a system that has never failed to protect the 
safety of the citizens of Pastalia. Once an outbreak has been detected and 
its location marked thanks to the Lakra System, they have the duty of sending 
out knights to contain them as quick as possible, to try to reduce the damage 
caused by them to the lowest possible.
Because it was thought too coldly, the preferred action for the knights 
to take was to capture and then slaughter the outbroken IPDs, which was 
thought to be too cruel.
Given how inhuman was the treatment towards the outbroken IPDs stood out 
among the population, this ended triggering both favorable and unfavorable 
responses from the citizens about this way of containing them. Furthermore, 
depending on the scale of damage, they could even send a demand for the 
elite knights to be dispatched to the area of the outbreak.

Formerly, although the Grand Bell Knights used to directly go and contain 
the outbroken IPDs, currently the IPD Investigation and Containment Chamber 
decides how they will deal with them. Currently, the function of the IPD 
Investigation and Containment Chamber has is the quarantining of the IPDs 
(which actually isn't different at all from capturing them). The countermeasures 
differ depending on the scale of the incident, and while there are situations 
where the damages are too large and all the knights are dispatched at once 
to contain the outbreak, there are also many cases in which the knights 
can choose to be dispatched alone or in small groups to perform the containing.
The measures the knights can take for dealing with the outbroken IPDs include 
among other things being able to track their whereabouts thanks to being 
able of receiving information from the Rakura System through a Telemo portable 
terminal. And also, they can receive the support of civilians that have 
excellent combat capabilities, such as Cocona, which are accepted as being 
supporters of the knights in their missions (this is called the "Satellite 
System"). And also, the final measure to take after defeating the IPD will 
be variable, depending on the gravity of the incident.

==Background Story - The Pure Heart of the Knight Captain==
～バッツ、聆紗、レグリスの別れ～
~The Parting of Batz, Reisha and Leglius~
口にできない想いを密めたまま、バッツとともに去る聆紗の背中を見送った若き

してどんなものだったのだろうか。
As if it were because they hid feelings that they were unable to express, 
both Reisha and Batz turned their backs on young Leglius as they left, while 
he only saw them off. From that point, the long time flowed on, both formed 
their own families, and lost them.
When Leglius and Reisha finally met again in Mint Block, they had many recurring 
feelings within their hearts, and wondered what they had fulfilled during 
their lives.

　「何だ、他の連中はいないのか。お上の命令無視

　言葉を失うレグリスを尻目に、聆紗がバッツに続く。
「聆紗！　どこへ......！」

Reisha loved Leglius, but she wasn't able to say it about his personality, 
and she just kept it as a secret in her heart, always.
She also loved Batz, and because of his personality, he was officially regarded 
by everyone around them as [Reisha's Lover].
Even though Leglius had a lot of respect for Batz, when it came to Reisha, 
he had to swallow up all of his personal feelings, because of the fact that 
when they were first introduced, Batz introduced Reisha to Leglius as [She's 
my girlfriend].
Arshe also loved Batz a lot, which is the reason why Batz came to the palace 
very frequently. He also considered Leglius as his lovable trainee, and 
always took him together to do various things, from eating to training. 
Despite Leglius being a very stubborn person, he actually had a lot of fun 
whenever he was togetjer with Batz and Reisha. This was the reason why he 
felt so relieved when he was with them, and this eventually turned him into 
an even haughtier boy than Batz.
Arshe was the classic selfish, princess-like girl, which always asked unreasonable 
demands to Batz, whose routine consisted in being forced to do these nigh-impossible 
tasks. Given that Batz's behaviour towards Arshe was unprecedented, they 
followed the role of "ball attendants" for the two of them, and while this 
brought to all of them a lot of hardships, this also made them into very 
close friends after a short time.
These relationships continued normally for 2, and 3 years.
Arshe was a very special person to Batz. However, he couldn't ever dream 
of becoming her lover, especially because Arshe was the Maiden, and furthermore,
she was already married. And in just a short time later, she was already 
giving birth to her first daughter.
However, this also made that Reisha had a pretty angry face whenever he saw her.
It was because of jealousy? But... from a married woman...?
This was an scar in Reisha's heart, which always made her depressed, but 
it was finally patched up because of a certain incident. The Coup de'Etat 
perpetrated by Alfman... the incident where Maiden Arshe was assassinated...
The next year, the entirety of the Grand Bell simply feigned this wasn't 
their fault, and wrote in the official records that the tragedy of Lady 
Arshe's death was the result of the attack of a group of outbroken IPDs. 
Hidden from the knights, Alfman sent a group of IPD Reyvateils guided by 
Loude, and then, they mobilized to Enna, and attacked the Imperial Palace.
The Reyvateils weren't at fault here, because their acts were all committed 
under the mind control of Lakra. More precisely, this vile act was also 
used as a field test of the unique quality that the IPDs have of a [Shared 
Consciousness].
Once Batz got a hand on this information, he hurriedly ran off to Enna by 
himself. When he arrived, Arshe and Reisha were the only ones still alive, 
and then he centered all of his efforts in making out of the palace with 
both of them alive.
However, they were largely outnumbered, and also, were surrounded by fire. 
Batz had also asked previously his lovable junior, Leglius, the same one 
that together with Reisha and Arshe had brought so many precious times to 
him, to come to the palace with him.
However, Leglius denied that this could be even real.
[The Chancellor is trying to kill the Maiden? Impossible. And in the first 
place, the Enna Palace is a place in which only the Maiden and the members 
of the Maiden Chamber may enter, a holy place only for women. Doesn't that 
make it different from the standard palace of the Grand Bell?]
This was the decision that Leglius ended regretting the most in posterior 
years, and even them, it's an uneraseable scar that was left on his heart.
Contrary to Leglius, Batz decided to ignore the orders of staying in standby 
that the knights received, and arrived to help Arshe and Reisha as fast 
as he could. He had fierce battles with the many IPDs, but his highest priority 
was to make sure that Reisha was all right.
While normally Reisha had closed off any possibility of Batz talking with 
her, seeing how he actually was doing his best to protect her was a more 
than enough action for Reisha to see him in a completely new light.
Batz would have risked all of himself many, many times just to protect Reisha.
And once Reisha saw how much he was struggled from the back, and how his 
armor began getting dyed with blood, she decided that this was the man who 
she wanted to be with together forever.
He didn't have a good personality, and lacked survival qualities. However, 
he was a very honest man, and was said by everyone that his honesty extended 
as far as to being honest with himself. This was the reason why Reisha became 
able to completely trust in Batz.
A few hours later after Batz began fighting, Leglius finally received dispatch 
orders: to suppress and contain outbroken IPDs.
Leglius noticed the bloodlust in the air.
And unlike the many occasions previous and posterior to this one, he decided 
that, only this time, he would let his own feelings take priority over his 
duty.
Just as the conspiracy of the revolted Grand Bell had planned, when Leglius 
finally arrived, it was too late: the palace was already engulfed in flames. 
Leglius began wandering within the fire, but despite his futile prayers, 
Arshe was nowhere to be found.
Then he suddenly heard the sound of an explosion.
It was very close... and seemed to be coming to where he was very fastly...
Leglius began running forward, and he ran into Batz, who had just lunged 
forward expecting to finish off an IPD.
"Sir! Reisha!!"
"Oh! ...So the containment squad's finally here? That was faster than I 
expected"
"Containment squad? What are you talking about!?"
"Oh, you're not with the others? You ignored a direct order, didn't you? 
Heh heh, pretty good."
An smile surfaced in Batz' tired face, and he continued.
"Anyway... Lady Arshe has entrusted Lady Cloche to us. I'll protect this 
girl even if it costs me my life. But I don't want to fight you, nor I do 
want to get killed by you. So, let us go only this time."
He was speaking quickly, and he left Leglius behind. Then, without turning 
back, he raised a hand into the air.
"I'm glad I could meet you one last time. That was the only thing I was 
worried about. Goobye!"
Batz gave a final glance to Leglius, who was lost at words, and Reisha followed 
him.
"Reisha!! Where are you..."
"According to Lady Arshe's orders, we have to protect this girl. It's possible 
so we can't meet ever again. Thank you for everything you did for us. I'll 
never forget these fun times we shared. I will continue to watch over your 
efforts from the shadows. I hope you won't be burdened with the duty of 
capturing us..."
An extremely decided shine rose from Reisha's eyes.
"Goodbye..."
She gave him a final smile filled with nostalgia, and then, she began running 
after Batz. At that time, Leglius was unable to say anything.
Leglius really regretted this, all because he did this for his own protection: 
the fact that he wasn't able to say "I'll protect her, too" to Reisha and 
Batz.
He couldn't think anything but that he had betrayed them because he didn't 
want to think about going with them, because his position was the most important 
to him.
Still, even if he was able to go to meet them, he wasn't able to say that 
to them, not even at the very last moment when they left the palace, which 
is what he regretted the most.
Leglius always heard in his mind the voice of Batz repeating the same things 
he told him on that day, when he decided that his position was the most 
important thing, as always, while for Batz, he had decided that going to 
save Reisha and Arshe was the most important thing to himself.
Yes, that is the difference between Batz and Leglius.
In the following days, the Grand Bell then began searching for the next 
Maiden, Cloche, while trying to do so in secret to not alert to the public 
the fact that the successor Maiden was missing. During that time, Leglius 
kept total silence about Reisha and Batz. While it didn't seem to do much, 
it actually was as if he was misguiding the searches, making them much more 
harder.
After three years, the Grand Bell finally interrupted the Maiden search. 
This greatly relived Leglius.
And on a certain day, two years later, the Grand Bell held a secret reunion, 
open only to its members.
-We are going to appoint an IPD child as the Maiden. Her age in within the 
falsifiable range.
-We will continue as planned, by introducing her to the people as [Lady 
Cloche has been finally found!].
-The meaning of the existence of this Maiden will be the [War Against the 
Goddess].
-We will manipulate Infel Phira, and use the Lost Technology weapon, [Replekia],
against the Goddess!
And then, she made her debut. The 33th Maiden: Cloche Leythal Pastalie.
A girl that had an IPD outbreak before reaching the age of 8 years, and 
that was kidnapped from among the people, appointed as the Maiden. The daughter 
of Reisha and Batz.
Then, six more years passed since that day. Leglius was finally able to 
meet again with Reisha. In that day, the knight clad in red armor that had 
saved her wasn't alive anymore. Only Reisha remained, living alongside the 
girl that they had saved on that fateful day.
And Leglius too, had also gotten a wife and daughter since them, establishing 
a warm family, and he lost them, too.
"If you had come to save me back then,
I would have ended marrying with you.
But, of course, if that happened...
It would meant that you wouldn't be able to
get the status you have gotten now"
"That doesn't mean that I wished for status and honor more than anything.
I simply was wishing to make reality Metafalica,
the way in which we can allow everyone in this world
to live happily."

The Grand Bell regime leaded by the Pope and the Maiden lasted for a long 
time, around 400 years, until the middle of the 3700's. However, in 3751, 
when the Pope suddenly passed away, Alfman, taking advantage of the internal 
rebellions this event caused, did a Coup d'Etat. With it, he completely 
erased any remnants of the power of the Pope, and after concentrating all 
the powers on his hands, he proclaimed that he would make Metafalica a reality,
and declared war to the Goddess.
On the other side, some years after this Coup, the people that opposed the 
power of the Neo Grand Bell gathered in a remote region of Enna, and founded 
the Sacred Army. The Sacred Army is an association of people that fights 
to restore the historical Pope regime, and advocate to [Coexist with the 
Goddess], while also disclosing to the public the inhuman acts the Grand 
Bell has committed. However, given that most of the people were tied, and 
already had lost hope, there were more people that despised the Goddess 
than people that wanted to coexist with her, and because of this, the public 
opinion leant more in favor of Alfman's war declaration. Because of that, 
the Sacred Army was in very unfavorable conditions, and its influence hadn't 
spread at all since the time in which it was founded.
Given that at the time the Sacred Army didn't represent a menace to the 
Grand Bell, they were simply ignored. However, a few years after the Grand 
Bell took this decision, the Sacred Army began to rapidly grow, and its 
influence began expanding. This was because a young man who was the last 
direct descendant of the Pope, Prince Targana, introduced himself before 
the masses of people. He was appeared as young man ready to become a leader, 
thanks to his innate elegance and charisma, and this gave a favorable wind 
to the Sacred Army.
The only thing that raised the name of the Sacred Army even more was the 
announcement that an [Envoy of the Goddess], addressed as such by Her, was 
sent to them. Then, Targana loudly declared that this was a sign of the 
Goddess giving their protection and blessing to them. Starting with Enna, 
the Rim was filled again with hope, and gradually, the Grand Bell had to 
change their plans towards the Sacred Army. Thus, the Sacred Army matured 
into a large organization.

Enna is the very first town that was built in the Rim, and it was built 
by the people that had to move to the Rim because they opposed the Maiden, 
so even now, its inhabitants don't harbor any kind of good feelings to the 
Grand Bell and Pastalia, rather, they oppose them. The Sacred Army, which 
is the antagonist organization to the Grand Bell, started its operations 
here, thinking that this would be the best terrain for having their general 
headquarters. They decided that their headquarters would be located in the 
same place where the previous Maiden, Arshe, was killed: the Enna Palace 
Ruins, and it's in there were they conduct their operations.

The legitimate successor that inherited the blood of the Pope, Targana, 
appeared like a comet. He was born as a noble, but was raised among the 
townspeople. This was because when his grandfather, the previous Pope, passed 
away, Alfman killed the next in the line of succession to the Pope, which 
was his father, and Targana himself was also in mortal danger. Thanks to 
his nanny, Targana was barely saved from Alfman, and while he was growing, 
he was taught by his nanny how to be a good ruler, and about the lineage 
from which he descended.
Furthermore, Targana had a person he had recognized as a lifelong rival, 
and that was Croix, which afterwards became one of the best among the Grand 
Bell Knights. When they were children, and were studying fencing under the 
same master, Croix already had displayed remarkable abilities during their 
training sessions, and Targana always lost to him. The day just before Targana 
left the fencing schools, he and Croix had a final decisive battle, and 
Targana once again lost, which ended getting engraved in Targana's memories 
as an unsettled score.
人々が再びメタファリカへの希望を取り戻し、神聖政府軍が支持

After the people once again regained their hope in Metafalica, and the Sacred 
Army lost their support, Targana decided to challenge Croix to a final battle.
He sensed that his part on this world was already finished, and thus, entrusted 
to Croix the duty of taking care of the rest.

いのだった。
A certain day, when Chester was still young, Kanakana Pier was suddenly 
attacked by IPDs. The Grand Bell delayed their countermeasures, and in a 
very short time, Kanakana Pier was left in shambles.
At this time, Chester completely lost contact with the person he loved the 
most, Sonia, due to the confusion, and this left him a pretty deep sadness.
Young and powerless, Chester reached his limits that day, and made a pledge 
to himself: he would exterminate all the IPDs in this world. And so, doing 
so that other towns or villages didn't suffer this same fate, he would also 
reorganize the sloppy knights that the Grand Bell had.
Chester studied as hard as he could, and after some time, he was recognized 
as great researcher. And granting his wish, which was pretty much breaking 
a 1-in-100 possibility, he was bestowed the Meta-Plate. Thus, he was hired 
by the Grand Bell.
During his time working in the Grand Bell, Chester suddenly noticed one 
day that all the other researchers were gasping at the sight of this: the 
raw figures of the IPD outbreak rates had a dramatic rise, and it was beginning 
to become a rumor that once an IPD had an outbreak, she couldn't be saved.
However, even these flying birds crashed into the floor as soon as Chester 
discovered the truth behind this. That was that the responsible of the outbreaks 
was no other one than the Grand Bell itself, the same outbreak increase 
that was the cause of Sonia's disappearance.
He also learned that because of his boss, Loude, which was part of the top 
brass of the Grand Bell, Sonia was transmigrated into the will of Infel 
Phira, and was now partly in a state of apparent death. Furthermore, he 
found out that the IPD attack in Kanakana Pier was actually caused by Loude 
in the first place: he only made it look like an IPD outbreak, it was a 
simple camouflage.
Chester received an enormous shock from this, and left the Grand Bell. To 
destroy them, by having committed the unforgivable and inhuman acts towards 
his hometown, and his lover.
He thought that making enemies out from the powerful Grand Bell in this 
way would be stupid, but as a super-great researcher that had took part 
even in some of the top-secret procedures of the Grand Bell, he though this 
was his moral duty.
He made sure that the increase of the innocent IPDs was all the doing of 
the Grand Bell, and that they were doing these inhuman acts as preparations 
for defeating the Goddess.
After he left the Grand Bell, Chester began declaring the Grand Bell as 
inhuman before all the Pastalia people. However, almost no one paid attention 
to it, and dismissed him as a traitor to the nation.
In a short time, Chester noticed that his actions were giving off any results,
and disappointed, he left Pastalia.
He settled into the little town of Enna, in the Rim. Despite its population 
not being very large, he went there, expecting that the Grand Bell didn't 
have a huge influence in it.
And it was in there that things began going well for him.
A certain day, an old lady and a young man came to his house. The man was 
called Targana, and he was the genuine crown prince, who had to escape from 
Alfman's regime.
The old lady told him the truth: the current regime was no more than pure 
falsehood who had at the top someone that didn't belong to the Papal Family, 
and the current Maiden was too a fake that didn't descend from any of the 
previous Maidens. And the true successor to the throne of Metafalss was 
just... before his eyes.
Then he heard about the Coup d'Etat that happened around ten years ago, 
and learned about the true reason why the current regime was also the culprit 
behind the razing of the Enna Palace. At that time, the previous Maiden, 
Arshe, was killed, and her daughter, Cloche, disappeared. The girl they 
knew as Cloche right now wasn't the Cloche that disappeared on that fateful 
day.
Chester never had imagined that the violent methods used by the Grand Bell 
reached that extent.
Chester welcomed Targana, and they both founded the Sacred Army. Their activities 
expanded from the own center of the Rim, and they were set into steadily 
becoming the army we can see now. However, their opponent was the Grand 
Bell, which had seized all of the powers in Metafalss, and the gap between 
their powers was so evident, that Alfman didn't even bother to pay attention 
to them.
This could be thought of as blessing in disguise. Because, if the Grand 
Bell had attacked them with all the power of their army at this time, there's 
no mistake that the Sacred Army would have been subjugated. However, given 
that their power was still so low, both Targana and Chester had more that 
enough time to build up and fortify their position.
Various years, month, and days passed since then...
And on a certain day, an strange blue wolf came to the hideout of the Sacred 
Army. He introduced himself as an Envoy of the Goddess, and he told them 
that he could give them power.
The non-human shape of said envoy left a very strong impression on Targana, 
deepening his belief that they were applying the true justice, but Chester 
wasn't totally convinced by this. However, there is no mistake that if it 
was true, the Envoy would be a tremendous asset to them. And to verify if 
he was telling the truth, he asked a single request to the Envoy of the 
Goddess.
Chester asked him to "Deliver this letter to a girl called Lakra, who is 
in a chamber in the depths of the Grand Bell Palace".
The contents of the letter were things that would have put the Grand Bell 
into a state of emergency if they were found out, and Chester supposed that 
if the Envoy was actually an spy from the Grand Bell, he wouldn't have any 
possibility of having success in this.
However, he still wrote the letter, which, according to what was planned, 
was delivered successfully.
Then, Lakra took the control of various IPDs, and made them attack the Rakshek 
Resort, cornering Maiden Cloche, who was in the middle of her vacations. 
Once Chester and the others heard about the situation that was developing 
far from Enna, where they were, and he evaluated that situation with his 
own eyes, he felt that this attack was pretty clear signal.
Shun was unmistakably the true Envoy of the Goddess. The Sacred Army had 
gotten in their hands an unbeatable trump card.
However, in exchange for his support, Shun demanded a single conditions. 
That is, in exchange for his cooperation, they would have to implement Hibernation.
This was an Hymmnos that was inherited within the Grand Bell for generations,
as part of the accomplishment of the Pact with the Goddess they made, and 
was called the Song that would save the people. Chester accepted this condition 
immediately, and then, the rest of the Sacred Army agreed with the idea.
And thus, the Sacred Army received the divine protection of the Goddess, 
and so, they managed to find soon after these events the true Maiden that 
Received the Divine Protection of the Goddess.
However, the truth about this, is that Chester didn't care at all about 
politics or the government: the main reason why he started this rebellion 
was because of his "personal feelings". This was in vengeance for the destruction 
of Kanakana Pier, and for what happened to Lakra (Sonia).
That is, while his goals were to throw down the current government and rescue 
Lakra, he didn't care at all how the following government would be, as he 
didn't have any kind of interest in the formation of an ideal government.
However, the goal he had when he introduced Luca before the eyes of the 
people during Cloche's Birthday Festival was to gain a foothold for the 
new government, so he still had a very strong intention of causing the downfall 
of the current government. While he looks calm and collected in the outside, 
he was no more than person controlled by his own feelings in the inside.

Pastalia, the capital city of Metafalss. The Grand Bell Hall is the stronghold 
where all of the government institutions are located, and besides ruling 
this city, they are called the own core of this region.
==The City Located at the Top of the Tower, Blessed by the Water and the Forests==

Pastalia as we know it was founded during the 3000's, and was made as a 
city that covered the top of the Tower, which was abandoned in the middle 
of its construction. Given that there are many cavities in the external 
surface of the Tower, it was easy to collect the water from the rain and 
gather it into lakes. These lakes then multiplied, and turned into things 
comparable to terraced fields because of the height at which they are planted,
and thanks to the way the water flows, there are countless waterfalls in 
its surface. In the areas closest to the lakes, many thick trees sprouted, 
and thanks to the many facilities in which the fallen water is pumped, there 
is a permanent water cycle between the city and the lakes.
Because of this, 
Pastalia has an abundance of perennial water resources, and it's always 
moistened by them. Because of the great number of remodelations that have 
been done throughout all the city, it has an special, yet pretty complicated 
structural arrangement. The uppermost level has many elevators for public 
usage, which are used like railroads for moving vertically from a point 
of the city to other.

As an effect of the urban areas looking like a wreath spiraling around the 
gigantic tower, having this vertical form has given Pastalia a pretty unique 
appearance.
Because of that, many elevators were built in the inner zones of Pastalia. 
The structure built in the uppermost zone is the Palace of the Grand Bell, 
and as you can guess, the altitude at which a residential zone is located 
is a direct indicator of the life style its inhabitants have.
===About the Food===

While Pastalia has water in abundance, unfortunately, the same cannot be 
said about the food. This is precisely the reason why they had to restrict 
the number of immigrants from the Rim. Given that the food is given through 
a distribution system, free to the bearers of a Meta-Plate or a Nero-Plate, 
there is no starving people.
However, the food they receive is no more than 
the bare minimum to continue alive, and eating beyond than that is a luxury 
only limited to the wealthier classes.
Because of this, the people are limited 
to eating only two meals per day: breakfast and dinner, and between both 
of them, they eat the local specialty as dessert: the Kururuku Dango Bar, 
which eaten together with fruit juice is something that the people always 
look forward to do.

has her own tastes, and these sweets are made at home, the 
shape of the face can vary from a house to other.

なかなかそこまでは実現できないのである。
While Metafalss planned its education system on the same line as the other 
regions, theirs had the difference of having the Legends of Metafalica as 
its fundamental basis.
They were taught that they, at some point, they would have to create their 
ideal land with their own hands, which was based on the following words: 
[The transient land will be lost, and then, the paradise we will have created 
by ourselves will be born. The people have to prepare for when that time 
comes], which is base of the Legends of Metafalica, which were the predictions 
and realizations about the Divine Land that the First Pope and ancient great 
Sage, Jaza, told the people around 700 years ago. Also, it was said that 
when the land was born, it would be an overly abundant world that could never 
be compared with the current one. The people of Pastalia believed these legends,
and supported the Maiden as the one that was supposed to create the land. 
That was the final hope that the inhabitants of this dead land had, and 
the only reason why they still had the energy to continue living in these 
difficult days.
On the other hand, other teachings that were said to be remnants from what 
the Sages regime from the Metafalss of the First Era taught, were passed 
down with the words [You have to give before receiving], which were also 
very devotedly taught. While it was bare minimum of moral education and 
respect that the people should show to each other, it had a much weaker 
influence compared to the Legends of Metafalica. The people thought that 
if they seriously believed in these teachings, this world would surely head 
towards a prosperous future, much more prosperous than the world of the First 
Era, but that wasn't actually going to become reality to that point either.

Pastalia isn't built over the surface of the land, rather, it was built 
at the top of the Tower, so we could call it a floating city of sorts. It 
has an stable base because it's supported by 32 thick pillars that are spread 
around the own center of the Tower. These pillars are called the Charge 
Piles, and while they are the lifeline that supports and maintains Pastalia, 
they are also known as a feature of its scenery. The Charge Piles are at 
the same time constructed between many pontoon bridges, and there are many 
frames running horizontales between them, giving a grid-like shape to the 
inner structure of the Tower.
The buildings and the streets of Pastalia were formed with the grid that 
was made from the bridges and frames, which expanded with the passing of 
time. However, given that the city was built upon the tip of a Tower, it 
has a limit on how much it can expand horizontally, so the main expansion 
means the city has is building vertically. As an effect of that, the uppermost 
area is the newest and most beautiful of the city, inhabited by the most 
wealthy citizens, while the lowermost areas are the oldest ones, inhabited 
by the poorest citizens.

Despite the fact of being built over a Tower, this city as many famous places

the higher class citizens sometimes take pride from these attractions of 
the city.

An Altar located in the topmost floor of the Grand Bell Palace. A long time 
ago, this was called the place where the Maidens Infel and Nenesha would 
pray and sing to make Metafalica a reality, and to reproduce their wishes, 
a gigantic statue of both of them standing back to back was built.
However, 
given that the Maiden of Mio was rendered as a taboo being by the current 
Grand Bell, a long time ago, the altar of the Hill of Metafalica was sealed 
off, because it showed evidence that two Maidens once existed over this 
land.

Located in the lower part of the Public Airport, this is the widest residential

standard two-storied family house made out from wood, and it's normally 
owned by lower-class families. While Croix and Cocona live here together, 
the house is comfortable enough for both of them.

This is the oldest area of Pastalia, and as such, the very first one that 
was built in it. Given that the rest of the city was built upon this area, 
it's now located at the lowermost zones of Pastalia. For the most part, 
its residential zones have slowly turned into ruins because of the abandonment,
and there are many places where the houses collapsed into rubble. It isn't 
officially recognized by the government as an habitable zone, yet the people 
still live in it. It's mostly inhabited by people that don't carry any of 
the two Plates, and people that for any reasons cannot appear in public.
However, the ones that make up the biggest part of its population are Reyvateils 
that awakened as IPDs, and many of the ones that escaped from the containment 
facilities of the Grand Bell live here.

runaway IPDs have made their lives here. However, given that the public 
order is practically unexistant here, it's an extremely dangerous environment 
where IPD outbreaks happen very frequently.

This is the business district that extends from the middle to the lower 
zones of Pastalia. However, the lower zone has become a relaxation area, 
so it's always a quite crowded zone. Given that this is the area where most 
of the people are gathered, the Grand Bell put an enormous monitor in the 
main part of its streets, that they can hear the speeches given by the Maiden 
whenever they are made, so as you can notice, it's even more crowded during 
these times. Also, thanks to being located in the central areas of Pastalia, 
it's very close to the stations of the knights and the special economic zone 
[Star City], which makes the people traffic between these areas very intense. 
Also, the weapon provider for the Grand Bell and its knights, the [Crane 
Shop Central Office], is located too within this are. And the house in which 
Croix and Cocona live is also located in one of the streets of Pastalia 
City.

Because Metafalss recognizes the Reyvateils as normal citizens too, the 
Dive Shops are regarded as extremely important facilities. The Pastalia 
Dive Shop is located in one of the Pastalia City streets, and its current 
shopkeeper is Lelen, from the Teru Tribe (all the Dive Shops in this land 
are managed by Terus).
Given that the interior of the shop is filled to the brim with the machinery 
and equipment used for the Dives, it gives both a dim and a doubtful impression 
to its visitors. By the way, despite the fact that Luca's profession, Dive 
Therapy, is prohibited in Pastalia, that was because of the crimes that 
were committed by the abuse of this technique a long time ago. However, 
there aren't friendly tendencies towards it here.

areas are all only supported by a single metal plate: most areas don't have 
more than that metal plate between them and the sky, and Pastalia City is 
also one of these places. If you looked down from this place, you would

Grand Bell Knights, and as such, it has a pretty prosperous business. The 
shop clerk Cynthia is always coming up with new ideas for making weapons, 
and given that Croix frequently visits this store too, Cynthia has created 
a weapon series for Croix's exclusive use, called the [CynCro Brand].

This park was created by Maiden Cloche very recently, to make true her wishes 
of [wanting a place where the people of Pastalia can feel closer, even if 
it's only a little, to being in Metafalica]. This place is located pretty 
close to the gigantic stone statue and waterfalls that have made Pastalia 
famous, and thanks to the natural things that are in there, such as the 
waterfalls and the trees, it's easy to imagine how Metafalica would be. 
It's a popular sightseeing location in Pastalia. It's a pretty popular place 
to take a drink, and it's easy to always see a lot of couples in this place. 
Also, the Pepens, which are enigmatic creatures that can speak the human 
language, have settled in this area, and act very friendly and courteously 
to the tourists. Because of that, it's a popular business to sell [Pepenscuits],
the biscuits for feeding the Pepens, here.

The transports used by the people of Pastalia are mainly the Rotating Train 
and the Elevators. The Rotating Train is a vehicle that has the special 
characteristic of having a cycling course that goes around the external 
circumference of the Tower, and it works by using the energy it receives 
from the Water Mill. On the other hands, the elevators can stop at any given 
floor, and they allow to instantly move from a zone to other of Pastalia 
almost instantly, thanks to their great speed. The fastest elevators are 
mainly located in the inner zones of the Tower, and are mostly used by the 
Grand Bell personnel, so the normal citizens can't ride them. Other people 
have other transportation means, which are airships that can carry ten people 
at most and fly in a circle around the city, called Airbuses. However, given 
that the routes used by the Airbuses only cover the outskirts of Pastalia, 
their usefulness is pretty limited in comparison to the Elevators. Also, 
there is an special Rotating Train course called the [Spiral], which covers 
a pretty wide route. It goes from the Airports to the Festival Plaza, slowly 
ascending through the city in a circular fashion, and it has been known as 
a sightseeing route since many years ago.

These are small airships that fly around Pastalia. Given that they can take 
off and land vertically, they can arrive and depart from very narrow places. 
However, given that their defects are that their fees are somewhat high, 
and that they can't take off or land in the inner zones of the Tower, not 
many people from the lower classes use them.

These are the Elevators that were built in the inner zones of the city. 
They are used for both short and long-distance travels, and from moving 
passengers to luggage from a part of Pastalia to other, so they have many 
uses, despite many of them being out of order because of being so old. By 
the way, there is also a gigantic elevator hall from where many elevators 
leading to the inside of the Grand Bell Palace can be taken, called Termina.

Given that the transit between the Rim and Pastalia was limited during many 
years, it was only during recent years that it became popular to travel 
between both areas. In the first place, given that the Rim and Pastalia 
aren't in adjoining lands, the people would have to rely on the courses 
taken by the airships whenever they wish to move from one place to other, 
and would overload them. Because of this, in this world where the land does 
not exist, and where you can see the Sea of Death spreading under your feet 
if you look down, the airship technology development had to reach an awakening 
point, making possible for the travel methods to become popular among the 
people. However, the transit towards is Pastalia is still regulated, so 
no many people use the airships to go there.
In the current times, the normal citizens of Metafalss are able to be passengers 
only in a route that connects Pastalia to Rakshek. On the other hand, the 
movement of cargo is much more lively than the movement of passengers, and 
because of this, there is also an special long-distance route that allows 
cargo to be directly shipped between Pastalia and Enna.

This is the cargo course that connects Enna to Pastalia.
Given that the raw materials are so scarce in Pastalia, this course has 
become so important to Pastalia that it's even called a lifeline to it.

Metafalss is made up from a Tower, three Rings, and one horizontal Ring. 
This last one is called the [Rim]. The widest parts of it were used to build 
towns and cities, while the narrower ones where employed only for the construction 
of the tracks that connect the town, and upon this Ring is where the people 
make their lives.
The people from the Rim come from different cultural backgrounds, since 
its first inhabitants where the people that were drove out from Pastalia 
by the First Maiden, Selena, to keep the public order: the remnants of the 
Metafalica Radicals, the members of the Elemia control layer, and later 
on, the Elemians that escaped from Pastalia after they were defeated by 
Maiden Illusha in the Neo Elemia War, and they are the main kinds of people 
that make up its population.
However, the Rim wasn't planned to be a place inhabited by people. There 
are no actual places where the water can filter and end deposited because 
there is almost no soil, and the metal surface it's uncovered in almost 
all places, with only a handful of soil at some parts. However, despite 
being so sterile, this land has nurtured the lives of the people for more 
than 700 years, and thanks to their great efforts, they somehow managed 
to become the people that currently inhabits the Rim. Thanks to the organization 
of their irrigation equipments, and the spreading of water across all of 
the Rim, they managed even to grow a extremely thick forest with only a 
little of water. Furthermore, they were even able to cultivate parts of 
the land thanks to this.
===Panoramic View of the Rim===

The narrow horizontal land, which seems to completely surround the Tower, 
is the Rim. There are tracks connecting most of its areas to each other, 
and it has become an extremely important mean of transportation for the 
people. However, this doesn't mean that they cover the entirety of the Rim, 
because one of its sections collapsed, and currently is an area that can't 
be crossed.
===About the Food===
　食料不足に悩まされているパスタリアと違い、
リムにおいて問題となっているのは、いつの時代
でも水資源の確保であった。もちろん食糧にし
ても豊かというわけではないが、相対的に見て水
不足の問題があまりにも深刻なのである。現在、
「レーレの水卸」という場所に唯一の貯水場が

ながらレーレの水卸から遠くへ行けば行くほど、
水の供給量は少なくなるため、人々が住む場所
は自然とレーレの水卸を中心としたある程度の
範囲（左右それぞれ30度ほど）に絞られている。
　土が存在しなかったリムにおいて、農業は盛

ルクという穀物をおもに育てている。特に開拓
の地ミント区ではこの作物以外は育てられない
ので、住人は鉄道を使ってラクシャクまで赴き、
そこでクルルクを売ってほかの食料を買っている。
Unlike Pastalia, whose people is always worrying about the food shortage, 
they always had a guaranteed water supply, which in the Rim has always been 
a problem . Of course, while this doesn't mean that the food is very abundant,
at least it doesn't suffer from a serious shortage compared to the one 
water has. Currently, the [Lere Water Reservoir] is the only water storage 
area, from which the water is distributed across all the Rim. Naturally, 
given that the farther the soil is from the Lere Reservoir the less water 
they will receive, the people naturally were restricted to settle down 
in the places closest to it (that going towards and back to the Reservoir 
only takes 30 minutes).
Given that there is no soil in the Rim, the agriculture is not very prosperous.
However, the people still made cultivating fields to guarantee their alimentation,
focusing mostly in the cultivation of cereals called Kururuku, which don't 
require much water to be cultivated. Particularly the cultivation of the 
soil of Mint Block is like this, given that the land is so sterile that 
nothing else can be cultivated over there, so the residents then take the 
train towards Rakshek, and sell Kururuku in there to be able to buy food.
====The Lere Water Reservoir====
リムに住む全住人、78万人の命をつなぐ水瓶。リムで
唯一の水源地であり、すべての水はここから供給されて
いるが、少し雨量が減るとすぐに渇水してしまう。
This is the water reservoir to which the lives of the entirety of the population 
of the Rim: 780,000 people, are tied. This is the only water source in the 
Rim, and given that all the water for its people is distributed from here, 
if the precipitation rates decrease even a little, there will be a severe 
water shortage.
===About the Education===
　リムには統一された組織による公的教育機関
は存在していない。それでも、住民による最低限
の教育はされている。パスタリアと同じく、メタフ
ァリカ伝説と貢献論は教えられているが、それ以
上は就学率が極端に減。日々の暮らしに追わ

There doesn't exist an actual public education system in the Rim. However, 
their children do receive a minimum of education, imparted by the own citizens.
Similarly to Pastalia, the Legends of Metafalica and the moral precepts 
are taught in there, but besides from that, the school attendance rate is 
still extremely low. Because the Rim is place where everyone labors so hard 
to continue living day after day, even the children are forced to work for 
their lives in this hard environment.

In the future, maybe Sasha would be able to go to school, like children 
of her age are supposed to. However, given that her grandmother collapsed 
from a disease and was sent to the hospital, she had to take care of the 
shop on her stead, and because of this, Sasha doesn't have any time, nor 
she is in the economical position she would need to be able to attend school.

The diameter of the Rim is of 4700 Stons (14.1KM), but because of having 
an irregular width, there are parts where it is very wide, and others where 
it is very narrow.
The widest portion is of around 200 Stons wide, while the narrowest one 
is of around 5 Stons, so here you can see how much they can vary. By the 
way, the Rim is made up from seven parts joined together, and during emergencies,
these parts can be detached from it (Purging).

All the zones of the Rim are intercommunicated thanks to a long-distance 
railroad track called the [Souffle Axis]. Given that the it more or less 
covers the entirety of the crescent moon-shaped Rim, it's a transportation 
facility that truly makes the lives of the people easier. Its routes are 
double tracks that cover all the way from Rakshek to Enna, while the other 
zones are all single tracks. While its normal speed is somewhat slow, it 
can also be prepared for fast travel.
By the way, while there is a section of the tracks that cover the route 
between Mint Block and Kanakana Pier, it was suddenly closed off during 
the 3400's.

The B-Hept Area was an area that fell off from the middle of the ring, and 
an empty space where the people cannot live. Because of this, naturally 
there aren't any constructions in it, and it's an undeveloped area.

When the seven parts that make up the Rim were made, it was prepared in 
a way that each part was maintained by its own [Lift Generator]. It's thanks 
to the mechanisms that the Rim can continue keep itself afloat over the 
Sea of Death.
The lines that separate the sections from each other are called [Purge Lines],
and like their name says, these are the boundary lines for the purge of 
each area. By the way, while each area has names such as [B-Nnoi Area], 
currently there is no one in the rim that still knows about them. These 
names were used initially only by Frelia, and later on were used only by 
the people closest to her, because they needed names to design and divide 
each part.

The trains are composed of two wagons. The front part is special because 
it is equipped with the same item that is used by the airships to fly: the 
Rotatory Flipper. However, its speed doesn't go beyond the 20~30 KM/H range.
===The History of the Souffle Axis===

縦断する鉄道の敷設を提案した。
The Souffle Axis was designed during the reign of the 15th Maiden, Souffle, 
and built by the 16th Maiden, who was Souffle's daughter: Raksha. At that 
time, there weren't any kind of communication routes in the Rim, and the 
only thing that allowed to see the direction in which one was going was 
the towering Conductor Activator. For the people, to cross the Rim from 
a tip to the other on foot was extremely hard, and because of that, they 
didn't expand their settlements beyond the areas near to the Lere Water Reservoir.
When she came to observe the Rim by herself, Souffle perceived how terrible 
where the life conditions for the people, and proposed to build a railroad 
track that crossed through the entire Rim.

Souffle and Raksha, mother and daughter, had set their sights in activating 
and improving the life in the Rim, and because of this, they appealed for 
the construction of the railroad track at the Grand Bell. However, the regime 
that governed at the time in the heart of Pastalia didn't even think about 
spending even a little dime of the budget they had because of the animosity 
they had towards the Rim, and both of them stirred a great unrest in the 
Grand Bell because of this. Despite this, Souffle and Raksha still wished 
for the happiness of the many that lived in the Rim, and finally managed 
to make the construction of the Souffle Axis a reality.
Also, the two Maidens also poured their blood into making possible the commerce 
and trade between Pastalia and the Rim, and afterwards, they even managed 
to normalize the relations between both parts. Even now, the two maidens 
known as Souffle and Raksha are still remembered by the people that live 
in the Rim as heroines.
スフレ軌道とラクシャクの街の名は、リム発展の恩人であるふ

The Souffle Axis and the name of the city of Rakshek were named in honor 
to the two Maidens that were the biggest benefactors in the development 
of the Rim. Currently, there is a stone statue of Raksha, who inaugurated 
the Souffle Axis, in the Axis Courtyard in Rakshek.

This place was built in an area located at the very edge of the Rim. There 
once was an station that acted as the last stop for the Souffle Axis, but 
around 300 years, it was suddenly closed off.
Kanakana Pier was once inhabited by an special race who knew all the secrets 
of Infel Phira, the sealed People of Mio, and their three descendants: Amarie,
Chester, and Sonia, all have Kanakana Pier as their birthplace. Furthermore,
Kanakana Pier was annihilated by the attack of outbroken IPDs in 3754 AD, 
and now, it has become only a group of ruins.

anymore.

Kanakana Pier once was the place where the group called the People of Mio 
lived. They originally were a group of engineers that had the technology 
necessary for controlling Infel Phira, moved to this area 400 years ago, 
and was almost entirely composed of Terus and IPDs, so this land was eventually 
inhabited by the offsprings of both kinds of people. Because their abilities 
were deemed as a threat by the Goddess, they were forced by Her to move 
and seclude themselves here, and were forbidden from having any kind of 
contact with the outside world.
From that time, a long time passed, and eventually, the people forgot about 
the existence of Infel Phira and the Maiden of Mio. However, the People 
of Mio still kept themselves hidden from everyone. If we had to say the 
truth, it was obvious that they were being manipulated by the Goddess. However,
Alfman of the Grand Bell, who learned about the existence of the People 
of Mio, attacked Kanakana Pier on 3754 AD under the pretense of an IPD outbreak,
just to obtain the secrets of Infel Phira. The people of Mio was almost 
completely wiped out, and the extremely few survivors were abducted by the 
Grand Bell. Just a few of them managed to successfully escape from this 
terrible incident.

This is place is located beyond Mint Block, and it's a prairie located at 
the very border of the Rim. While in a relatively small scale, there are 
trees growing very think in this area, and it's pretty abundant as a natural 
environment. However, the residents of Mint Block couldn't come to live 
here because the Souffle Axis station in here was closed off, and practically 
no one comes to this area.
If anyone tried to enter this area from the outside, they would simply get 
lost as they continue walking in circles over the same place. This is because 
the Terus put an special kind of magic that confuses the senses as a mean 
of keeping all the outsiders out from Kanakana Pier, and for the people 
that don't know this, it's impossible to continue advacing.
Despite the Dreamy Fields having an atmosphere that makes them worthy of 
receiving the name of "Fields of the Lost", the children from the neighboring 
areas have taken a like to it as a place for playing. Even Croix and Targana 
have left many memories of their childhoods in this land.

The Dreamy Fields have an unique railroad track made by the Terus, which 
goes on until it reaches Kanakana Pier, and that can be crossed only by 
the Terutrain. However, only the Terus can use it, so it's very hard for 
the normal humans to even perceive its existence.

This is the former Dreamy Fields station, which was even an stop in the 
Souffle Axis a long time ago. In the current times, the only the Terutrain 
seldom stops in this area, and only if a Teru person rings an special bell.
====The Terutrain====
テル族の魔法で作られた軌道車で、

This is the train that was made through the magic of the Terus, and it has 
an appearance that would make anyone think that it actually is a living 
creature.
In some rare occasions, the residents of Mint Block have witnessed the Terutrain,
and have called it a Phantom Train.

Relatively speaking, this the land that was pioneereed the most recently 
in the Rim. Around 3357 AD, a group of passionate Metafalica believers embraced 
the wish of creating their paradise with their own hands, and came to this 
land. In a way or other, thanks to their great efforts, the people became 
able to live in this land, and while they didn't want to develop this place 
at all, it couldn't be said that they had success in that last part. However,
even now, Mint Block is inhabited by the descendants of these pioneers, 
and they love their land a lot.

You can see a completely exposed and desolate land spreading to the horizon.

A deep forest located in the neighboring areas to Mint Block. Because of 
its sheer size, this forest is the biggest one in the Rim, and in a world 
where the plants are unable to spread their roots within the soil, this 
the only place with so many plants and large trees.
This forest was born from the small Heart of the Land that was created from 
the experimental Hymmnos, Metafalica-Alpha, that Infel and Nenesha sung 
a long time ago.
Many enthusiastic believers of Metafalica also participated in this experiment,
which would later on become the founders of Mint Block. And the Heart of 
the Land that gave life to this forest was later on as the subject of a 
famous legend within Mint Block, called the [Guardian of Mikry].

This is an small store located in a part of the Rim that has less than 3 
Stons (1 Ston = approx. 3 meter) of width, and it's was chosen as one of 
the disembarking points for the Souffle Axis trains. The reason behind an 
station being built in this place is unknown, but there are always an small 
number of passenger getting off here. The actual name of this store, is 
the [Nyanya Store]. While the exterior of the store looks extremely worn 
out, and many people among the inhabitants of Rakshek and the users of the 
Souffle Axis think that it's an abandoned house, it still keeps its business 
open.

with travelers and merchants. Still, there isn't only the Airport, but also, 
the double-rail Souffle Axis, and furthemore, even a branch office of the 
Grand Bell, and the Rakshek Citizen Association, which handles the administration 
of everything on the Rim, are also located here, making Rakshek the own 
heart of the Rim.

This is a view of how complicated are the streets of Rakshek. You can see

characteristic is the Souffle Axis going through the center of the city. 
Despite the streets being so narrow, there are many signs put in them, and

A station of the Souffle Axis that was built between Rakshek and Mint Block. 
Given that many of the goods that come from Pastalia first arrive at the 
Rim here, this were all the providers in Metafalss gather. This place is 
located between the Port No. 2, which is used only for transporting raw 
material, and the Airport of the New World, used by the passenger, making 
it play a very active role in the distribution of goods and general economy 
of Metafalss, and thus, many merchants of Mint Block and Enna come here to 
replenish stock. In contrast to the administrative side that we can see on 
Rakshek Town, this place is called the heart of the economy in the Rim.

This is nearest station in Rakshek to the airport. Around the time in which 
Rakshek evolved into a city from a raw material storehouse, the demands 
for airships that could transport passengers instead of merchandise increased,
and finally, an airport was built exclusively for them. This airport was 
called the Airport of the New World, and later on, the airports called Port 
II and Port III were established, which is the total that currently 
exists. There is a pedestrian bridge that crosses from the station to the 
airport, and looking at the part below it, you should be able to see the 
airships preparing to depart. It's a magnificent scenery, and many people 
just get down on this station to see the airships taking off and landing. 
However, this isn't an express station. Because of this, most people usually 
get off at the Kurure St., #1 station, and then use other means of transport 
to reach the airport. This is because at this distance, it's much faster 
to reach the airport on foot that to wait for the Axis Train.

This is the newest airport, built in the outskirts of Rakshek. There is 
also an station for the Axis Train here, which was also completed very recently.
When the airport was still being built, it wasn't yet decided if it was 
going to become an airport for merchandise, or for people. 
Because of this, it was decided that it would be better to built it planned 
for both uses, and that is why currently it serves a double purpose, which 
can be seen now.

This station was built pretty close to the Lere Water Reservoir, the only 
source of water in the Rim. While there aren't many passengers getting down 
here, since this is the place from which the water that maintains the lives 
of everyone in the Rim is distributed, everyday the people charged with 
its maintenance come, even if they can't satisfy their own water needs. 
You can guess that this is station is extremely important, as it also maintains 
the life of the people.

An station built halfway on the route between Rakshek and Enna, located 
in a plateau where the height greatly varies. The mist softly lowers over 
this area, and because you can also see the Sea of Death under this place, 
it was that this place received the name of "Pier of Amassed Clouds" ("Clouds'
Wharf"). The central part of this place is marked by a great tower called 
the Conductor Activator, which actually also doubles as the mark that distinguishes 
right and left in the Rim. Before the Souffle Axis station was built here, 
it was extremely hard for the people to reach this place, but once the construction 
began approaching the area, the constructors eventually deviated the route 
because they were climbing the area at the same time, until finally the route 
of the Axis ended passing through this point.
巨大な白い建設物がコンダクター・アクティベーション。叢雲
桟橋の地下には、ここに入るための扉が設置されている。
The great white construction is the Conductor Activator. This is why the 
underground of the Clouds' Wharf has become an entranceway of sorts for 
it.

This is the most ancient town in the Rim, and a long time ago, it even was 
the center of the administration of the Rim. Also, the HQ of the Sacred 
Army, the Enna Palace, like its name suggest, it's located here too. Because 
it was built upon a solid based, it has never suffered from great-scaled 
collapses or earthquakes from the hundreds of years it has existed, so there 
are still a great number of ancient buildings here.

Enna has even now the scenery of a very ancient town. The liveliness of 
this town can be on the many stands that are lined up in the central Market 
Street, and standing over everything else, we can even see the remains of 
the gigantic Enna Palace, which is what makes famous the scenery of Enna.
====Enna Market Street====

The main street of Enna. There are some areas in which the ground is cracked,

translates to "Supreme Heaven Among the High Heavens".

Before the people settled down in the Rim, this place was established as 
an airport for the ships that brought soil and sand from the mountains in 
the outer areas. Even now it keeps active, since there are still ships carrying 
back to the Rim these materials.
As the only port that can be seen from the outside world, it also served 
as the entrance way for the foreigners that came to Metafalss.

When the people established in the Rim, this area was the field cultivable 
field they pioneered. And even if now there are more prominent cultivable 
areas in the Rim, many of the peasants still work at this field. Its main 
products are Kururuku and Karikari, which are crops that can be easily brought 
up in arid regions because they don't need much water to be raised.
By the way, when EXEC_VIENA/. was sung during the game, Frelia was so weakened,
that she didn't have Symphonic Power for anything else beyond crafting 
the Song. Because of this, it was decided that to reduce the strain on her, 
this was one of the areas in the Rim that would need to be Purged.

This is the scenery of the B-Ixa Area seen from the Newfield Gorge. The 
building we can see here with plants growing all over it is the Cat Mansion. 
Each Area has a Lift Generator to maintain itself from falling into the 
Sea of Death, so each Area is more or less independent of the others. However,
when it came the time to Purge the Areas, both the B-Vira Area and the B-Ixa 
Area collapsed, and the constructions that were in this area also suffered
that same fate.

A borderland station of the Souffle Axis, but usually, no one gets off at 
this station. There is only an old mansion built near the station, which 
is why the station is named after it.
The Mansion has an eerie air floating all around it, and even though no 
one lives in there anymore, no one dares to approach it. A long time ago 
it used to be called a research establishment of sorts, but now is no more 
than an abandoned house. By the way, the areas beyond the Cat Mansion were 
marked as restricted areas of the Grand Bell, and with the exception of 
the Grand Bell personnel, no passengers are allowed beyond this area.

The place called the Promised Hill is located at the base of the gigantic 
Lens, located at the very end of the Rim, and it's also the last station 
of the Souffle Axis. Because the way here is in a single track, if a train 
reaches this area, it has to go in reverse to go back. The Promised Hill 
is the place that serves as the tombs for all the Maidens from the past 
eras, but currently, no one with the exception of the Grand Bell personnel 
comes here. The Lens that towers over the summit of the Hill used to shine 
a long time ago, whenever Frelia was in her duty of creating the Second 
Tower using it and the Conductor Vision, but now, these functions don't 
work anymore.

As ruins from very ancient times, in the current times it has become the 
burial place for all the generations of Maidens. The walls at the deepest 
areas have been sealed off with spells in Hymmnos Language, and within them, 
the secret burial chamber of the Maidens from 400 years ago, Infel and Nenesha,
was sealed in.
