Shirou Emiya
Good boy, crap magus. A previously relatively normal highschooler until he was thrust into a grail war. Currently attempting to save everyone he can, instead of everyone in general. A member of the archery club and a third rate magus, he may be in far over his head.

Medea of Colchis - (Shirou's Servant)
Witch with trust issues. A lot of trust issues. Slowly warming up to Shirou. Magic teacher #1

Mordred - (Shirou's Servant)
A madwoman, constantly bleeding from a gaping wound in her stomach. Doesn't say much, but is continually hunting for 'Arthur'. In battle she seems to regain some semblance of Sanity.

Circe of the Nameless Isle
Witch causing as much chaos as possible, is still alive from the Age of Gods which may or may not be a problem. Magic teacher #2

Ayako Mitsuzuri
Shirou's girlfriend, tomboy, fellow member of the archery club. May now be a magical girl.

---

Taiga Fujimura
Teacher at Shirou's school, in far, far over her head. She wasn't ever supposed to know about magic or be part of the grail war. Now she's rather injured and just trying to keep Shirou from getting himself killed.

Assassin - (Taiga's Servant)
A very friendly woman who seemingly can disappear from notice at will, seems to be plotting something or other... with Taiga specifically.

---

Sakura Matou
Childhood friend of Shirou, a quiet girl not used to being the center of attention. Was used to summon a servant for the grail war, who by all appearances killed her abusive family. Has been dealing with a lot of crap lately.

Archer - (Sakura's Servant)
A very friendly man who hasn't talked to Shirou much, but whenever he does he usually gives him some form of advice.

---

Rin Tohsaka
Sakura's sister, and a normally friendly Magus who has turned her lot in with Kotomine Kirei after several bad turns in this grail war.

Saber - (Rin's Servant)
???

---

Illya Einzbern
Shirou's sister, normally not this friendly. They only spoke briefly, but hit it off rather well.

Rider (Illya's Servant)
A tall, purple haired woman. Kidnapped Shirou once.

---

Kotomine Kirei
The local priest, as far as Shirou knows anyway. In charge of the grail war and has been very busy doing so.

Raiga Fujimura
Local mob boss, he is letting Shirou stay in his house since Shirou's house was destroyed. Has plainly told Shirou that if he doesn't handle the grail war. Raiga will.

---

Fujimaru Ritsuka

A time traveler apparently, looking for her missing servant. Has shacked up with Shirou after he stated he would help her.

---

Unknown Servants

The Monster
A beast in the guise of a man, seemingly attacks without rhyme or reason. Its master is unknown.

Brihannala
An apparent archer who attacked without warning at the church and killed over a dozen people before Shirou narrowly escaped. Her master is unknown.

---

Oberon (Annatar)
Is messing up the clock tower, the consequences of this are not known. Nor is it known if he is part of this grail war. Summoned by Marisbury Animusphere.

---

Ongoing plotlines.

  • Shirou is learning magic from Circe and Medea, both are teaching him how to be an actual Magus after Kiritsugu deliberately crippled him in that regard.
  • Shirou has TWO command seals remaining for Mordred, THREE remaining for Medea.
  • Rin has thrown her lot in with Kirei, the extent of this is unknown.
  • Berserker (Mordred) had a complete breakdown after Shirou witnessed one of her dreams.
  • There is at least two servants with unknown masters, and one is seemingly going on random rampages.
  • Fujimaru's servant is missing, they got seperated when they traveled here.
  • Annatar is doing... something in England, and it has so far affected Luvia, Kadoc, Reines, and Ophelia. Kadoc and Reines accepted rings from him.

Good luck young man.

 
Future plans
Also, since I've received notes about it.

There will be significant downtime between the HGW and the GHGW. Sauron is coming, but he's scouting. So plenty of time for training, character 'sidequests' and the like.

Yes that means more Medea content. Quest doesn't end with Sauron gone anyway, there'll be quite a few post quest chapters and then epilogue.
 
Q&A Results
Was summoning Mordred something locked in/was gonna happen no matter what or could we have somehow influenced things to summon another servant?

The entire premise of the quest was summoning Mordred from the start.

If we have chosen Bazzet on the very first vote instead of Medea, how different things would have been/what would have been some of the plot points that would happen?

You'd be dealing with Kotomine within three chapters, things devolve from there. He would try and confirm the kill.

How would Caren have played out? And how many strokes would it have given Kirei?

Caren would have... actually involved you heading to the Clocktower super early on. As she was doing an investigation there.

What were you expecting to do with Rin and Saber?

Eventually form a very tenuous alliance.

Are we going to get to see any more greek servants? (could even be in a dream sequence) Mo was simultaneously one of the most exciting reveals, but also a bit disappointing for me considering I'd be missing my favorite berserker
Yeah, there's a Grecian in the clocktower.

Has there been any Vote that totally took you by surprise the direction it went? Like totally didn't saw it coming that we went with that? Aside from the "avoid Rin" of course.
Kissing Ayako surprised me to distract Ruby.

This has probably been mentioned in the thread, but Annatar is the reason Chaldea is here, right? Like he's basically causing a singularity rn
Yes.

Do we have to keep Ritsuka and her shield alive in order to not, like, doom humanity?
Would not suggest letting her die!

question with all the subplots and plots we haven't seen yet due to choices...what idea STARTED this entire.quest concept
"What if Shirou summoned Berserker Mordred."

what were your expectations with introducing Circe?
Less story focus honestly, more dream nonsense. The readers really liked her surprisingly.

don't underestimate witch-lovers in the medea-route
Buddy, the Medea route was added as I was editing the first chapter to post on SV. Literally fifteen or so minutes before I posted.

Hey Erien, why did you consider Fujimaru summoning Jaguarman as metagaming?
Because the readers were having Shirou suggest she do it and he has no concept for Jaguarman existing. And if they were suggesting she do it the voters have no control over people that aren't Shirou.

Does Shirou even know about the concept of Noble Phantasms?
Shirou doesn't know what those are!

so Shirou needs to fight Gilgamesh and not die to the sword swarm
Gilgamesh is not, and will remain not part of, this grail war.

We're waiting for the final showdown against Eldritch!Cu.
Assassin Lamont Cranston, aka 'The Shadow'.
Nah Clocktower's Assassin is the most dangerous figure in the holy grail war act ually
No I will not say who it is
No I'm not kidding

So Circe was added because Medea was added?
Yeah. Thought it'd fit.

Seaweed was always meant to job.
His servant was Fritz Haber for those curious. Because I thought it'd be suitably horrible.

oh, huh, so he was able to get a servant outside of the holy grail war?
Shinji was 'gifted' a servant. How, well, you'll need to find out.

So, is Sauron gonna come to Fuyuki or is Fuyuki coming to Sauron?
The former, chasing dear Ophelia.

Do we know who the Clock Tower's Berserker is?
You've seen em, it's who Luvia summoned. You don't know who or what they are though.

Wait. Since Rin is now gone, does that mean Second Owner rights now transfer to Sakura?
Sure, but Rin's workshop doesn't exist.

The party is going to have confront Lancer again, correct? That's not something readers can expect Ruler to have dealt with?
Yep, they will Old George is overwhelmed.

Will Chaldea be able to summon anymore servants now that they've made contact or are we sticking to Mash + shadow servants?
I mainly try to just use shadow servants. It's how they work for the most part.

How likely do you think it is that Ayako survives the War?
... Eh.

Are you considering any of the potential love interests bisexual? I know you had that Rider/Ayako comm with a "very non-canon. probably."
Mata Hari most definitely
Rider sure

Thanks for coming ya'll!
 
The Plot
Would you believe this was started as a shot in the dark idea of 'what if Shirou got Mordred' and now here we are?

I'm on a bit of a break due to suffering burnout due to my schedule, and I'm shuffling things around. Don't worry, this story isn't going anywhere. I'm just reading the mood. Some things have gone in ways I've expected, others not. Some things have been planned from the start. (Annatar being summoned), others were last moment (Medea being added to the starting vote). I try not to write by the seat of my pants but you don't always win those. As it stands though, we are approaching the final arc, it's gonna be a long final arc mind, but still a final arc. Some shenanigans are still coming, some fun servant concepts (I hope!), and well, beyond just dealing with Warp!Cu you still have to defeat Brihanalla before you even think about dealing with Annatar.

So I'm just checking on the mood to make sure ya'll are still enjoying yourselves.
