Great Fire of Fuyuki

The is a large fire that happened in Fuyuki City in 1994 as the result of the end of the Fourth Fuyuki Holy Grail War.
==History==
The fire was caused by the Holy Grail Mud spilling from the pathway opened by the Greater Holy Grail of Fuyuki. It killed over five hundred residents and burned down 134 buildings.
Shirou Emiya's father and mother perished in the fire.Fate/stay night - Heaven's Feel route - Day 6: beautiful (I) - Nurse Sakura Shirou was fatally injured, only saved by Kiritsugu Emiya inserting Avalon into him. He was the sole survivor in the area of the fire.Fate/stay night - Fate route - Day 15: Utopia - Go along the cheek
Numerous children in nearby areas were orphaned by the event, left in the care of Kirei Kotomine at the Fuyuki Church. They were later used as a Magical Energy source for Kirei's Servant, Gilgamesh. While Gilgamesh accepted it, he did not actually require it, as his incarnation would have allowed him to sustain himself.Fate/stay night - Fate route - Day 15: Utopia - Price of survival, settlement with fateFate/stay night - Fate route - Day 15: Utopia - That which cannot be surrendered Through unknown means, Kirei managed to erase their existence and seal them within the basement of the Church. He attached them to coffins without their knowledge, and through an unknown process, the coffins began to leach away at both their nutrition, Magical Energy, and their very souls with enough force to keep them from living but slow enough to keep them from dying. Their bodies slowly began to rot away despite the fact that they were still alive. Their bodies have been reduced to the state of living corpses that retain little of their human form. They no longer have their limbs, some of which have been cut off, some that have decomposed ends that leave only the bones, and those who have been ground down into the cracks or splattered on the wall. Their skin is peeled off, and their remaining flesh is rotting, leaving their faces to look like preserved specimens from a lab. They can no longer speak through their decayed throats, but still cry out with inaudible voices with all their might. While they no longer have their original appearances, Shirou is still able to identify them from the short time they spent together. As of the time of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Kirei plans to close it up due to the fruition of their plans coming into effect. Due to the state of their bodies, he would no longer be able to extract the same amount of soul as when he first established the practice, and there is no longer need for more food after that point.
Once the area of the fire was cleaned up, it was converted into Fuyuki Central Park.Fate/stay night Prologue - Day 2
