## Story

### Setting

Taking place across a three-week period in the early autumn of 2015 from the last week of August up until mid-September in the city of Sighișoara, Romania, and across the country, the story details the events of the Great Holy Grail War, sixteen years following the conclusion of the Second Holy Grail War.

### Plot

At the conclusion of the Second Holy Grail War, the victors, Ayaka Sajyou and Saber, simply disappeared from the public world. Magi from all over tried to locate the rogue magus to no avail as she hid from the sight of everyone, except for the Dead Apostle Ancestors, especially Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. He helped keep the young Dead Apostle in hiding until one day when Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia finally located her; he fought her in a grand battle for possession of the Holy Grail that she had kept on her person since the end of the previous Holy Grail War and won. Having lost the Holy Grail, Ayaka, with the help of Kischur, is introduced to the Mage's Assocation and in response for her losing the Holy Grail, she is ordered to retrieve it from the Yggdmillennia after they openly declared their intention for a holy crusade. Seven Masters were inexplicably chosen by the Association to represent them in the Yggdmillennia's conflict and Ayaka's role is to lead them to victory.

Unlike the previous installment, this story's main protagonist is instead Shirou Emiya, however, there are multiple in-character narrators for the story with Shirou Emiya serving as one of them. The other narrators are Rin Tohsaka, Caules Forvedge Yggdmillennia, Shirou Kotomine, and Ayaka Sajyou.

## Characters

### Daybreak Faction

The **Daybreak Faction** (黎明の陣営, *Reimei no Jinei*?) is the faction put together by the Mage's Association and led by Ayaka Sajyou, False Saber, and False Rider, who are the central focal points and the cause of the Great Holy Grail War (although strictly speaking, Ayaka and her constituents are classified as neutral with the *de facto* leader instead being Shirou Emiya). Their main purpose is to counter the defecting Yggdmillennia Masters and their Twilight Faction in order to retrieve the half of the Holy Grail that was stolen from Ayaka. Despite the great families being intentionally left out of the selection pool of Masters, Command Spells branded themselves onto the bodies of Shirou, the next head of the Emiya family, and Rin Tohsaka, the next head of the Tohsaka family. With the exception of the two participants from the great families and Marina Ayanokouji who had procured their own, the catalysts are provided by Bram Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri.
