At the top of the hill at the southern edge of Fuyuki City, there stands a church. A person walks up the steps to the church.
Slowly the heavy wooden doors to the church creak open.
The person enters into the dark alter room.
[???] Welcome to my humble church…
Potential Master of the Holy Grail Wars
A priest steps out from behind the alter
[Priest] You have been invited to participate as a master in the Holy Grail Wars.
I am the priest who serves at this church and the one who oversees these Holy Grail Wars.
Ah, but I am getting ahead of myself…
The Holy Grail Wars is a contest that has been held at semi regular intervals to determine one who is worthy of possessing the Holy Grail…
And with it the prize of any one wish to be granted by the Holy Grail.
This is a ritual that has been going on for many years now in this very city. And though the rules have changed over the course of the wars, the essential goal has remained the same.
The pries walks forward towards the center of the alter
[Priest] 16 Magus Masters are chosen to fight each other, and of those 16 contestants, the last one standing at the end of the war shall be declared the victor. This war is a survival game between mages.
But fear not, for you shall not have to walk this path alone, as the Holy Grail has seen fit to grant every master the right to summon a ‘Servant’ under one of 16 classes. Picked from the finest legendary souls from throughout all of history.
Your servant shall be your sword and your shield in this war.
To control their servants each master is granted three command spells which take the shape of three red marks somewhere on the masters’ arms.
Each one has the power to demand absolute obedience from your servant one time as well a being the proof of your duties as a master. Use them with care.
Which hero shall grace you with their loyalty?
Which servant will you draw?
The swift Rider?
The silent Assassin?
The wise Caster?
The brutal Berserker?
The vicious Beast?
The crafty Fool?
The merciless Avenger?
The violent Reaper?
The merciless Monster?
The mysterious Phantom?
The honorable Lord?
The grand Ruler?
The gallant Slayer?
The stalwart Sentinel?
The fearless Vanguard?
The mighty Bruiser?
The cunning Archer?
The agile Lancer?
Or perhaps the noble Saber?
The Pries turns to face the altar and spreads his hands.
[Priest] Come let us make haste and set a course for the stage where the noblest of souls through out all of history shall defy the bounds of time to gather, to the stage where the finest heroes from all of time shall dance, and where the dreams and wills of those who have been deemed worthy by the Holy Grail shall clash with one another! Let the waltz of ambitions and desires begin!! Let the chose dance across the stage until one remains!!! LET US RAISE THE CURTAIN ON THE HOLY GRAIL WARS!!!
