Fairy Holy Grail War

The **Fairy Holy Grail War** is an event in the Fate/Secret Order: Chapters of Avalon continuity of ZeroXP. It is a Holy Grail War ritual established in Avalon by Vivian. A battle royal between Masters and their Servants to claim an ancient artifact called the Holy Grail. A wish-granting device capable of granting any wish to whoever comes to claim it.

## Origin

The Holy Grail War originated in the human realm. An event created by humans in the attempt to reach Akasha which lasted for five wars until it was dismantled. Thanks to her Clairvoyance, Vivian could see these events and replicate her own version of the ritual. The purpose of the war is to be the final effort to stop the Blight.

## Procedure

The system of the Fairy Holy Grail War is copied from the Fuyuki system, although with some changes. Due to Vivian orchestrating the war, the Masters were hand-selected by Vivian instead of the Grail and she chose one member from every major city and Fairy Clan in Avalon making the procedure for becoming a Master and summoning a Servant more flexible. Unlike the Fuyuki War, there is no process for collecting mana to summon Servants thanks to Avalon being a realm with magical energy equivalent to the Age of Gods, even in its current dwindling state. Because of this, the maximum number of Servants to be summoned was extended further than the traditional seven. Vivian selected the Masters a year in advance from the major cities in Avalon to be true seven Masters while the fairies were chosen later to become Demi-Servants and Masters.

The decision to only make the fairies participate in the war into Demi-Servants is for them to atone for their ancestors' past actions and to put their lives on the line to fix the current problem in Avalon.

It's unknown when the Servants were summoned but it seems to vary from Master to Master as Flora describes to have summoned True Saber almost immediately after being chosen as a Master.

Due to unknown means, EMIYA is considered a Servant in the war though he is a Demi-Servant and Varian is a Master with Saber Alter being his Servant. Though Varian states that he never wanted to participate in the war and has no interest in the Holy Grail because he was contracted with Saber Alter before the war, he was selected because of their connection and was considered a Master by the Grail.

The war is to officially begin when the sheath, Avalon is removed from Goldcrest, releasing the barrier that is protecting each Fairy Clan.

## Supervision

Vivian proposed an offer to Merlin to supervise the war and in return, she'd free the succubus from the Tower of Avalon. Merlin accepts and is the current overseer for when the war begins. Though it's against the rules for the supervisor of the war to be a participant, Merlin was the master of EMIYA but allowed Aqua to become his master so he could have access through the barriers of Avalon.

## Pre-War

### Summoning the Saber Servant

Almost a year before the current events of the campaign, Flora summoned the True Saber Servant.

### Summoning the Lancer Servant

Sometime before the current events of the campaign, Selka summoned the True Lancer Servant.

### Summoning the Asassin Servant

Sometime before the current events of the campaign, True Assassin's former master from Summertown was able to summon him.

### Summoning the Fake Servants

Merlin contacted six fairies from each of the current Fairy Clans to participate in the Fairy Holy Grail War under the orders of Vivian. She tasked them to retrieve the weapons of the Knights of the Roundtable as catalysts to summon their Servants. Once this task is complete, the fairies return to Merlin and can summon and merge with the Fake Servants and become both Masters and Demi-Servants.
