    EY 1912. Xohyr, Ymaryn-Gylruv Dual Monarchy.

    Lord Myrn of the Xohyr branch of the Royal Mage Corporation was sitting in his office, reading the news about the new carbon emissions legislation the Conservative Party had pushed through Parliament, when his hand burned. Hissing as he dropped his coffee, he clutched his hand. Turning it over to look at the back, he blinked as he beheld the symbols that marked him as a Master in the third Grail War.

    As he traced the arcane symbols, he smiled to himself.

    "A wish is it?"

    For a Magus, there could only be one wish, to reach the root. To know all things.

    The Grail War was due to start in but two months. With his connections, he could easily summon a Servant and get to Nohon in time for the War. The only question, was who to summon? As a patriot, he could nothing else than summon one of the heroes produced by the People, but that only narrowed it down so much.

    Those fools at the Clock Tower were so damn proud of being founded by Merlin. Yet it was the People who had created Alchemy, long before Merlin was even born. He could remind them of that, surely.

    Yet, it was said that the strongest class of all was Saber. So perhaps it would be best to use a Servant whose legend included a sword.

    As he mused, his eyes passed over the window, and he saw the field where a white cow grazed placidly.

    No. That was hubris, surely. The grail summoned heroes, not gods… but Bonwyn had been a hero first hadn't he? He only ascended to godhood after he had completed his work. The Sacred Warding, a feat worthy of a god.

    Inoculation in the copper age. A system that lasted multiple thousands of years until the Collapse. To be sure, a feat worthy of a god.

    He shook his head.



    What Catalyst did Lord Myrn choose?

    [] A shard of pottery, said to have held the first alchemical reagents.
    [] A black sword, said to have scarred the Sun.
    [] A white cow. (Warning: Hubris)

    True Name: Yenyna, The Dragon General

    Parameters:

    Strength: B++
    Endurance: C
    Agility: B++
    Mana: E
    Luck: A
    Noble Phantasm: EX


    Class Skills:

    Mad Enhancement: EX. All parameters receive a Rank Up, yet her mental faculties are not diminished in the slightest. However, the Crows prevent her from hearing anything anyone says, so reasoning with her is impossible.

    Noble Phantasms:

    The Sword That Scarred The Sun: Rank EX. Anti-Noble Phantasm. Any noble phantasm struck by The Sword That Scarred The Sun ceases to function as a noble phantasm. It still functions as a weapon capable of harming servants.

    ???: ???. ???.

    • Holy shit a PoC and Fate crossover? I'm in.

    [X] A black sword, said to have scarred the Sun.

    This one's gonna summon the Dragon General, right? I think? Dammit, I need to check that quest again.

    Really tempted to go for the hubris option though...

    Awesome, but I wish we could use ancient star charts. Really, Saber or a not-god would be nice but neither of them dropped a star on a city.

    I remember the first alchemists cracking open the tailing pits!
    And terrible safety standards!

    [X] A black sword, said to have scarred the Sun.

    This is from the massive war with Khem, Case hardened Iron vs Full Bronze Wargear. It was a spectacular battle...and IIRC, that the wielder was a woman was never widely known or that she was berserk, or that she also predicted DOOM METEOR.
    That she had basically no skills outside of murder and prophecy either.

    [] A white cow. (Warning: Hubris)

    This we all remember.
     
    ....now that's a promising premise.

    [X] A black sword, said to have scarred the Sun.
     
    Oh, in this universe, Metalight was some Nasu bullshit.

    If you have any worldbuilding questions, I'll answer to the best of Myrn's knowledge.
     
    [X] A white cow. (Warning: Hubris)

    Is it really a Nasu quest if your magus character doesn't have hubris?
