| abstract | - Ar Ciel アルシエル, arushieru?, lit. "Ar Ciel") is the planet that is used as the setting for the Ar tonelico series and all of its related works. Its name means "This World" in Hymmnos language. It seems to be mostly similar to Earth, though with various differences, the main one being that it has two moons instead of one. Said moons are called the Viola Moon and the Cello Moon. Ar Ciel is located in a still unnamed galaxy and orbits around a mother star called Sol. Its surface used to have all kinds of topography, environments, and weather, which had a very large influence in the formation of the cultures that developed in each region. However, 700 years ago, because of the Grathnode Inferia disaster, the surface was covered by the Sea of Death and the sky was sealed off by the plasma sea called the Blastline. Now, the only inhabitable areas are the floating lands located near each one of the three Towers of Ar tonelico.
