About This Adventure

On the floating continent called the Wings of Horus, life clings to terraced fields, bustling airship docks, and the towering spire of Ar tonelico that disappears into the lethal plasma of the Blastline above. The Sea of Death churns far below as a toxic white sea of clouds, a constant reminder that one misstep or failing support pylon means oblivion. Airport City Nemo thrums with merchants hawking Grathnode crystals, Dive Shop attendants preparing machines for intimate soul-journeys, and Reyvateils whose soft humming can still the air or summon shields of pure emotion.

Between them stretch the terraced fields, the cable-hung neighborhoods, and the airship docks of a continent that should not exist, held aloft by the will of ancient machines and the songs that feed them. At the heart of it all rises the Tower of Ar tonelico, a pale spire so tall its upper reaches vanish into the lethal glow, its presence a constant, humming promise that power still flows and the sky has not yet finished falling. Airport City Nemo never truly sleeps. Merchants call out the prices of Grathnode crystals that glitter like frozen emotion. Dive Shop attendants polish the sealed pods where partners will soon slip into another person’s soul. Reyvateils move through the crowds with...
