This timeline has all the story of the world used as the setting of the first Ar Tonelico game, Sol Ciel. Note that the prehistory begins from the origin of the world until the people learned to harness the power of sounds, and the AD means "Ammue Dius", which roughly translates to "Era of the Divine Sounds".
