While I was playing _Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3_ , I was doing an extra
lesson on the tarot and Mr Edogawa started talking about the
[Sephirot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sephirot). He then went and mentioned
one of its branches and I recognized three from _Tales of the Abyss_ :

  * Malkuth => the Malkuth Empire which opposes the Kindom of Kimlasca
  * Hod => the country that Guy and Mary came from that was destroyed in the previous war
  * Chokhmah => as in Grand Chokhmah being the capital of the Malkuth Empire

There was also the fact that Sephirot can be transliterated to English as
Sephiroth, which is the name of the tree that keeps the world up and out of
the Qliphoth.

This got me wondering: is there a connection between the Sephirot and _Tales
of the Abyss_? Or are all of these just coincidences?

Is there a connection between the Sephirot and Tales of the Abyss?


Sephiroth in Tales of the Abyss.(TotA) is the name of the stream of energy
that supports the upper world. In TotA, the lower world was filled with Miasma
so they build a world above it and migrated there. Sephiroth is the collective
name of the pillars that branches out to support the above land.
