Aselia
From Aselia, the Tales wiki
Aselia, also localized as Aseria in the Game Boy Advance version of Tales of Phantasia, is the name of the world in which Tales of Phantasia takes place. It is also the setting used in Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon andTales of the World: Summoner's Lineage and possibly the combined world of Sylvarant and Tethe'alla from Tales of Symphonia.

[edit] History of Aselia
[edit] Tales of Symphonia
Before records, the world of Aselia had been split into two separate worlds named Sylvarant and Tethe'alla following the Kharlan War. This was because the Kharlan Tree that had once supplied the world with limitless mana had been killed during the battle. The remaining mana wouldn't have been enough to sustain the entire planet so the Cruxis separated the worlds.
However, Lloyd Irving and his group fixed the problem of mana depletion by planting a new tree using the last surviving Mana Seed. With that done the worlds could be allowed to merge once again without dying. The name for the combined worlds are never revealed, so it is merely speculations that they became the world of Aselia.
[edit] Between Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Phantasia
As a whole once again, the planet of Aselia flourished. The people went through an age of industrial revolution and before long they'd learned to master machines and magitechnology. Three countries were formed. These were called Fenrir, Odin and Thor. The three countries lived in relative harmony until one day when a comet known as Samier was spotted in the sky, possibly heading straight for Aselia.
Scientists denied that it would reach them, claiming that their supercomputers told them that "although the comet's tail may hit the planet, there is a zero percent chance of a direct hit".
It is not known whether this was simply a lie used to calm the people or whether their calculations were wrong, but either way, the comet did hit the planet, wiping out most life and forcing the human race back to a medieval-esque stage.
[edit] Tales of Phantasia
With no memories of Fenrir, Odin or Thor, the people of Aselia were left to re-discover magitechnology on their own. New settlements were built and eventually new countries were formed, with the two most powerful cities in the world becoming Alvanista and Midgards.
At around 4200 on the Aselian calendar, the city of Midgards began investigating Magitechnology following the discovery of the ruins of Thor. However, because of this, they were attacked by a man named Dhaos who destroyed them all with his monster army.
Later, their information on magitech was taken by the world's other cities and used to build machines of their own. The city of Euclid beniffited greatly from these desgins and soon grew to become as great a power as Midgards once was.

Aselia is once again going through a time of peace.
[edit] The Forgotten Age
At some point in the history of Aselia, there was a time where four mysterious tribes ruled over the planet, seperating it into the countries of Musphelheim, Niflheim, Jotunheim and Nidavellir. However, it is not known whether this was in the distant past or the far future.
