Dept. Heaven Glossary
1. アマルディア人 (Amardia race); Knights in the Nightmare
その名は暁の女神「アマルディ」に由来すると思われる。遥か東方の遊牧系足族で、数十
The name of their tribe comes from that of their dawn goddess, Amardi. They are nomads coming from the far east who generally travel in small family units. Putting their faith in Amardi—and to spread that faith—they have undergone two great migrations. During the second of those migrations, some Amardians settled down and joined the ranks of the Gleivnir knights. Today, the kingdom is roughly ten percent Amardian; they are an extreme minority and stand out in public because of their exotic brown skin. Although it varies by individual, generally the race has been accepted. They are thought to have a wild disposition.
2. アンカルジア (Ancardia); Yggdra Union
マリエッタがユグドラに聖杖を授けた場所。それにより、後世の者に「アンカルジア」と
The place where Marietta bestowed the holy staff upon Yggdra. In posterity, the staff was also named “Ancardia”. Nessiah’s flesh is sealed here; the island remains submerged beneath the ocean.

絶大なる力を秘めた魔導兵器。レーザーのようなものを射出する。アンクをふたつ融合さ

The gods’ bodies were wounded and their blood was spilled, creating angels with glossy black wings and ashen skin. They stormed the battlefield and proved their prowess using Diviners, carrying the power of the gods. Diviners are weapons holding the gods’ powers, and to be able to handle them properly, each Grim Angel makes an appropriate sacrifice.

Because of that, there are protections both within and outside Riviera.
40. 神斧トゥール (Divine Axe Skadi); Riviera: The Promised Land
マリスのディヴァイン。強力な冷気攻撃を放つ。エクセリオンやローレライとは異なり、ヘ

神々を滅亡へと追いやった大規模な戦争。戦況は壮絶を極め、たくさん告死天使たちが命

A knight order which was founded as a precaution against rebellion by foreign races. It isn’t filled with knights from the kingdom, but rather with members of those same foreign races, so it has a strong sense of being a vigilante group rather than a knight order.

神々が創り与えた世界。時間も空間も独立した世界が平行しており、基本的には相互に干

竜神の血を受け継いでいて、古来からこの地に住んでいた古の種族。ティアムート族は身
The ancient race descended from the dragon gods, which has lived in this land since ancient times. The Tiamats’ distinguishing features are their horns and wings, which are reminiscent of those of dragons.

58. ディヴァイン (Diviner); Dept. Heaven
神威を秘めた、告死天使専用の武器。ディヴァインを操るためには、彼らはそれぞれ何か
Weapons containing the authority of the gods, which only Grim Angels can use. In order to wield Diviners, all Grim Angels must first sacrifice a part of themselves. Traditionally, Diviners are named after the first Grim Angels who wield them. However, the artificially made Skadi series are not.

神界にのみ存在する天使族の一種。神々の祝福により資質を与えられた者たちで、天使族
A race of angel seen in Asgard. As the bearers of the gods’ blessings, angels swear absolute loyalty and obedience to them. They have wings, and assist the armies of Asgard in patrolling Heaven’s Gate. They do not have a “lifespan” per se, but because their existence is tied to Asgard, the destruction of Asgard would cause their extinction. The gods cannot destroy angels. For that purpose the creation of angels is considered the most important of matters. When angels are punished by the gods, they are robbed of their powers, and convicted as “Fallen” exiles. Angels cannot stand against those with special powers like the Grim Angels or those with the power of Niflheim.
60. 転生石 (Transmigragem); Yggdra Union
ウンディーネ族が転生するために必要な秘宝。ウンディーネ族は女系種族のため、転生す

ヘクターが創り出した神界のモデル、レデュオン層のこと。緋のフラウ、碧のエルペ、蒼

先住民族であるが、早い時期から移民族を受容し、騎士王国に従属した民族。そのため、騎
They’re the indigenous people of the land, but they’ve accepted immigrants since ancient times, have a low social status in the Knight Kingdom.

As a side note, the proper name of the lakeside town is Nestikafica (meaning “light like that of two moons”), and “Nestico” means “moonlit one”.

68. バルモア人 (Balmore race); Knights in the Nightmare
西部丘陵地帯に住んでいる先住民族。湖畔東岸のネスティコ人、南部レモヌーグ人ととも
The indigenous people who live in the western hills. They used to share the land with the Nestico people on the eastern coast and the Lemonoug people from the south, but they now suffer a harsh lifestyle as the lowest class because they held out in resisting the Knight Kingdom until the end. Their rich hills were transformed to scorched earth when the Kilgia tower—their very last resistance—collapsed, and many Balmore people lost their lives. The small number of Balmore survivors cling to life despite their current cruel environment.

*Niflheim: Atlus has translated 冥府 as both "Hell" and "the Underworld", but I translated it in keeping with Atlus' original Norse theme.
*Knights in the Nightmare names: I stuck to Sting's Romanizations wherever possible, as Atlus' translations of series terms really failed to be consistent in their localization. I did try to stick to saying "XX race" instead of "XX-ans", but sometimes that just got too awkward.
*Aries: The entry on Aries references the larger Yggdra Union section of the book when it brings up his "sin". I haven't yet done a full translation of this, but basically Aries was a pacifist who was made a Grim Angel against his will. When he was ordered to fight, he balked and refused, which got him in massive trouble in Asgard (you've seen their stance on Grim Angels here). It wasn't long after this that he was exiled; it's implied that Hector had a lot to do with it, but just what Hector did is never stated.
*Japanese text: I'm still a student and it's fully possible that there are errors in my translation, so I've included the original text of the book here as a reference.
