Cross-referenced Ar tonelico timelines

Inauguration of the New Generation Mankind Project: "Reyvateil".

Begins the use of the Tower of Origin (the real first Ar tonelico). However, this one failed because the database had more info than what the Tower could manage.

Discovery of the ω Spectrum (step #4 in the development of the FFT Spectrum), allowing the analysis of Hymmnos. With this, the development of Hymmnos took a great step forward.

The Tower Administration Bureau of El Elemia introduces the draft for the International Standad Norm for Hymmnos: The Central Standard Note.

Definition of the International Standard of 52 Characters (a~z, A~Z) for Hymmnos.

Beginning of the investigation related to the Reyvateils.

Proposal to Sol Cluster of removal from the signatory nations.

Around this time, the prime field of the Reyvateils begins to be available.

The construction is done in the suburbs, because the project leaders feared it could cause a revolt among the people.

Sol Ciel turns into the leading potency, and the most powerful country.

Functional Reyvateil of the α-testing phase completed, birth of the First Origin "Eoria."

The first β-Type Reyvateils are created.

Meets Jaza. Frelia begins going to school.

Meeting of Eoria and Eleno

Jaza descends from Sol Marta to escape from Rhaki. The people climb the tower to take shelter.

Note: The prediction was [This tower will be annihilated on the 3045 year]. Jaza saw it in the descriptor manual of Sol Marta. In practice, when the construction of the tower ended, it was planned that it would cease its use and be destroyed, in a descriptor called [Tidying up]. The Grathnode Inferia caused the plans to be stopped, but it was determined that even if it was not in this year, Rhaki would destroy the tower anytime the conditions written in the descriptor were fulfilled.

Note: In these old days, the area of Metafalss was surrounded by mountains whose summits had at its tops 3000 Stons (9000m). Living in here was very different from living in the weather-controlled enviroment of the Second Tower, since not much people could live in these altitudes because of the weather and the atmospheric pressure. Still, there were many laborers harvesting ores, which helped a lot with the development of this area.

Note: This disease was called the [Tatoolist Disease] in El Elemia. It affects only the Third Generation Reyvateils, since they have both Reyvateil and human characteristics. This disease consumes the life span of the Reyvateils, making them unable to live beyond 18 years.

The first long distance airship takes off from the Wings of Horus.

Note: At the time, the idea for Infel Phira was called [Create a Continent with our own power]. And so, Metafalss inherited the project they had in the First Era, and they marked as its purpose the creation of the [Metafalica Utopia].

Note: The Hard Surface is the concrete town planning, and trying to harmonize the public works with the environment, while the Soft Surface is related to the limit of residences in Pastalia, and to the traffic going back and forth to the Rim.

Abnormal beings appear and begin attacking the people.

Note: When the Reyvateil is still young, a special Grathnode Crystal containing DNA seeds, called the [D Cellophane] is installed in her, allowing her to copy the abilities and Hymn Code of other Reyvateils. Mainly, the Pureblooded β Types and the Origins transcribed their abilities to the Third Generation ones, which original objective for this technique was to increase their powers, thus calling them [Transcribed Pureblooded β Types], and the plan was called β ER (from Early Reflection for Transcription, abbreviated as E.R.T.) from which, now only the name remains. Actually, thanks to the transcribing of the Origin Frelia, the Maiden has the same knowledge and skills as the Origin, and can convey that information during her life, but during the age of the game (the 3700 era) it's done in a semiformal way, since the person that will become the Maiden has to show the proof that she continues possessing the transcribed processes of the β ER. This technique began to be practiced on the 3040 period, but its theory it's clarified in here.

Note: From here on, and until the 14th Priestess [Nenesha], the average life span for the Maidens was around 15 years. This was because the Diquility (Life Extending Agent) wasn't discovered until then, and the Third Generation Reyvateils had very limited life spans. Because of this, it was said that the [Maiden is like a flower]. The flowers bloom, and then, they wither away. For that reason, the Priestesses stirred a lot of festivals and ceremonies; they lived at the highest peak of luxury, and were the representations of the magnificence.

Note: The appointment of the Maiden interfered with the interests of the radicals. For that reason, they decided to annihilate the child that was the candidate to Maiden. Because of that, from 4 years onwards from this point, the Grand Bell Agency in their despair decided to freeze and cancel the Infel Phira plan, and disclosed the New Testament of Metafalica.

Note: In this year, the organization of the radical faction announced the deciphering and publication of Jaza's Metafalica Theory. Within 5 years, humankind would leave this temporary land, and boasted that they would change their place of residence to their own continent. For that reason, the Metafalica Cathedral was built, and this announcement was made. The people were expectantly gazing at the Cathedral, and waiting for its completion.

Note: When it became known that there were Reyvateils abducted and sacrificed for the purpose of singing the Metafalica, the people's support disappeared. With the pressure of the people, the organization of the conservatives collapsed. The Metafalica Cathedral (located where currently it's the Lakra area) was never completed because of this. The Metafalica Cathedral and its Grand Ceremony Temple were based on Jaza’s hidden theory, and so, to make it similar to a place for the repose of souls, there was a statue of a goddess in there, and was supported by 33 pillars. The conservatives later regained their power, and then announced the sealing Jaza’s theory under the pretext that it sacrificed too many Reyvateils. Jaza’s theory was the last hope of the people, and when it crumbled, they fell in a lethargic state.

Note: Neal was a very weak Reyvateil, one that would be called a [Class-D] Reyvateil under Tenba’s standard. And for the ER (Early Reflection) technique is hard to transcript for a weak Reyvateil.

Note: In that announcement, a promise was made to everyone that the project wouldn't involve any sacrifices. That statement was made because of the apparition of the Mad Scientist Grammul. He established the peculiar [Super Reyvateil Theory], and because he had some proof to his theory, he was hired by the Grand Bell Hall Agency.

Note: When the Dive Therapy is used, the minds of both the patient and the diver are exposed to a strong shock, which may end collapsing both minds. The Reyvateils have the obligation of training a lot before they start doing any kind of therapy, because doing it unprepared can lead to a dreadful death, both for her, and for the Diver.

Note: This was created with the intention of having Reyvateils that didn't depend on the Tower of Ar tonelico. In this age, all the Reyvateils extracted by singing the power from the First Tower (the setting for Ar tonelico 1) to craft and perform their Song Magic. The Metafalica Project was made with the goal of being able to create an entire continent, and that continent was to be made via the Song Magic of the Reyvateils, but they couldn’t evaluate properly the powers of the First Tower. Therefore, they began to try and craft Reyvateils that had new methods for the crafting and use of Song Magic. Frelia's D Cellophane and the E.R.T. technique were essential for this project to be a success.

Note: The Reyvateils of this age received all their power from Elemia's First Tower (the setting for Ar tonelico 1). While the Metalfassians built the Second Tower, they also didn't mind taking the risk of separating from the control of the First Tower, given that the Second Tower was anyway planned to be erased. The announcement that was made when the Infel Phira: First Stage project started was this: [We shall switch over the Reyvateils to a system that we can control and administrate]. An I.P.D. (abbreviation for Infel Phira Dependency) is a [Reyvateil that doesn't depend on the First Tower (Ar tonelico) for the use of her powers]. Everyone had big hopes on this next generation of Reyvateils.

Note: The first I.P.D. Maiden, [Infel], was named because of her connection to the system that was used to give powers to her. Infel was a very powerful and a very intelligent Reyvateil, and she was always a girl that was always thinking, and the people were amazed of her. She always spent her days reading from sun to sun and from moon to moon.

Note: The Second Stage was the defining phase of the plan, since it was "the one that was to become our hometowns, the one that was to let us create the green continent [Metafalica]". And about the plan, the most essential parts of it were the β ER technique, the I.P.D.s and the 2 Maidens (Fuero and Aqua), but later on, all of these things were forgotten completely.

Note: In this year, the first complete Metafalica was sung. However, because Infel didn't want anyone to see the inside of her mind, she closed her heart and lost access to her power supply. Therefore, Nenesha's power supply wasn't enough for the creation of a continent, and began to absorb power from Frelia to compensate it. Because of this, Rhaki thought that Nenesha was a threat and killed her. The world immediately declared the war to the Goddess, with Infel commanding everyone because of Nenesha's death.

Note: Because of this, the Grand Bell Hall had to deal with many difficult problems. It was decided that Infel Phira was to be shut down, and then, do the purifying and clearing of the data of all the IPDs, but each of these things would have to be done one by one. But, actually, even if the Grand Bell agreed with these conditions set by the Goddess and begun with the execution of the plans, they did not think that these were anything more than their duties with Her.

Note: After the establishment of the Pastalia Environment Works Plan, the people from Pastalia and the Rim were not able to continue traveling from a place to the other. The people from Pastalia oppressed the inhabitants of the Rim. Therefore, the prospect of building a railroad network in it looked as a foolish idea, and everyone opposed to it.

Note: The people thought to call the railroad network, [Raksha Axis]. However, Raksha decided that she wasn't so grand to deserve that, and proposed that the railroad network would be called the [Souffle Axis].

Note: For connecting Pastalia with the Rim, Raksha delayed her retirement for 4 years. She decided that she couldn't stop being the Maiden until the negotiations with Pastalia ended successfully.

Creation of a problem, birth of the Pureblooded β Type Reyvateil “Mir”.

Note: The IPDs wouldn't cease their outbreaks until the source of their powers, Infel Phira, was completely shut down.

The right wing of Horus falls.

Mir creates Viruses and hides them inside the Tower.

Mir is sealed. The Teru Tribe and Humans write and sign the [Covenant of Elemia].

Note: Even if the Grand Bell Hall Government agreed about this in the Pact with the Goddess, without their ultimate weapon, Infel Phira, they would be crushed under Neo Elemia's power. The people eagerly wished for the restoration of Infel Phira, but the Grand Bell Hall didn't want to use it until the very end of the war.

Note: The Grand Bell Hall Government fled to the Rim. The Maiden took shelter in Enna.

Thanks to the Purger Hymmnos, the Elemia Creatures are shut down. [The Maiden of the Battlefield, Illusha] did not spare anyone.

Note: Illusha turned the PURGER/. into a [Ancient Metafalss Tune], Hymmnos Fusion Song, and sang it successfully to temporarily shut down the mass produced digital life-forms (Creatures) made by the engineers of Elemia. Afterwards, she completely wiped out many of the Elemia camps, and was the cause of the death of many people, which drew much criticism to her. Still, they brought a lot of Creatures to this area for using them in the war, and they were left living here once the war ended. As the time passed on, the people began to have animosity against them, and lived afraid of these abnormal beings.

Note: From this year on, the lance became the official weapon for the Grand Bell Knights. This was a reminder of how the Creatures were fought.

Note: Because of what the recent visitors brought with them, this was made as a manual for being careful with anyone that came from the outside. Still, the thought of providing the best defense in the time against external threats was the main driving force to build such a heavily fortified mothership.

Note: After this, the IPDs began to be hunt and imprisoned in isolation. This incident leaved the people trembling. In regards to the IPDs, this was because of negligence, mostly because of the fact that the IPD Reyvateils were created with a rewritten Spectrum Gene that can be passed down from mother to children, which makes it an hereditary virus. But actually, the true cause of this was the Grand Bell's intentions of restoring Infel Phira.

Note: The IPDs are Reyvateils, too. This was a extremely important human-rights issue. After this, the IPDs were free to walk in the world. However, in reality, one part of the IPDs, the [Level 8 and Level 9 IPDs], which have the highest levels of mind pollution, continued to be imprisoned in isolation.

Birth of Lyner Barsett, son of the Platina Commander Leard Barsett.

Battle of Skuwat. Jack receives a serious wound.

Bourd flees.

The number of virus manifestations in the Symphonic Reactor begins to increase rapidly.

In Hymmnos story, in this period of time, the Hymmnos language has been mostly forgotten, and everyone has forgotten the reasons behind the existence of the Tower.

Note: It was because of the influence of Shurelia's Suspend. Because of the lowering on the power output from the First Tower, Rhaki reduced to 50% the output power from Sol Marta for preservation purposes. Because of that, every part of the Second Tower began to collapse, and the frequency increased between each collapse. Sol Marta is outside of Shurelia's jurisdiction, and is confirmed that she can't control what happens in that area, though this happened because of her.

Note: Year of the creation of the Metafalica Continent.
