At2 p102 sol marta

Sol Marta (ソル・マルタ, soru maruta?) is an artificial satellite stationed beyond the atmosphere, at even a higher altitude than the First Tower's Rinkernator. Because of the extreme altitude where it is stationed, people can't reach it through conventional methods. It's also called the Heavens because of being the place where the Goddess lives.

Its name means Motherly Light in the Hymmnos Language, 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 is why said Singer, 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. For more details, please read the History of Metafalss article.

Also, it has the secondary function of being a relay station for the First Tower of Ar tonelico, allowing it to expand its broadcast range even further, and allowing the Reyvateils from Sol Ciel to travel to Metafalss without any problems.

Setting Information[]

The Ar Ciel Sphere[]

At2 p102 sol marta 2

This is the final draft for Sol Marta. It's pretty easy to understand why it ended up being designed together with the Ar Ciel Sphere when looking at it.

This is the characteristic glass sphere chamber that is located in the heart of Sol Marta. This enormous glass sphere is called the Ar Ciel Sphere, and it's the place where Frelia Sang and danced to, little by little, create the Tower. Any viewers looking down from this area would be able to see the blue shine of the planet Ar Ciel, while anyone looking up would be able to see an entire sky filled with stars. This area is essentially empty, except a big crossroad without rails, and that was because this space was intended only for Frelia's Singing. Given that the Ar Ciel Sphere is taken as part of Sol Marta when looked from the outside, this is the reason why it has the same shape as a Heart of the Land. From that, it's possible to guess that the Ar Ciel Sphere is the Heart of the Land of Sol Marta.

The Control of Sol Marta[]

Sol Marta wasn't built by the people of Metafalss. Because of that, its administration and management were in 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, Raki.

Except for the 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 were actually always at the mercy of the information she received from the First Tower.

The information that Raki received from the First Tower was 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 terminal, which was only sent in emergency situations. According to the instructions featured in the later one, which Raki 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.

The Greenness that Sprouted in Sol Marta: the Tree of Marta[]

At2 p102 the tree of marta

The Tree of Marta, and Frelia's Pod.

Because of the happening of the Grathnode Inferia in 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, deeper inside than the Ar Ciel Sphere, and around it, with the passage of the long years and months, plants began sprouting. In just a flash, they began overflowing around the Pod, and shortly later, one of them became a gigantic World Tree, which would later on be 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 creating a forest that was around five times the size of Sol Marta. This marvelous grassland that could be seen looking up to space was called Sky 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 Sky Plains.

Layout[]

As the final dungeon in the game, it's to be expected that it's the most extensive area in the entire game, requiring the activation of switches and moving the main bridge in order to reach the main chamber, where Raki awaits the party for another boss battle. After she has been defeated, and Zodoma defeated in the Tower to the Heavens as well, it becomes possible to challenge Raki to a series of sparring battles, which give additional bonus images for the Extras menu until she has been defeated 15 times.

As for Sol Marta itself, emptying the Encounter Bar is pointless due to having the highest encounter number in the game: a total of 99, with all the enemy encounters being the most powerful monsters in the game, so unless the party is equipped with high-tier equipment and with an appropriate level, it will be a dangerous expedition. However, this is the final stretch, so if the player does well, they will be rewarded with the game's ending.
