He'll have to, because of the known Servants in all of the Fate/stay night franchise and its spinoffs, there's only two Servants with non-European and non-Asian backgrounds (and even one of those is debatable):
Arcueid Brunestud (from Fate/Extra) and Pestilence (from Fate/strange fake).

After having just looked through the list I can safely say there are no western hemisphere Servants of any kind from the canon of Fate/stay night and its extended spinoffs. Every Servant has origins dating back to Europe (and in that case, mostly Greece) or Asia (fairly even split between middle eastern and far eastern). There are a few god-types in there, particularly from Fate/Extra CCC, and of those two, they're amalgamations of Greek, Norse, and Hindu deities.
As I mentioned before, the ONLY Servants who haven't had origins from Europe or Asia are Arcueid (who is a True Ancestor), and Pestilence (who is a disease).

Even the asian legendary souls are rare. But at least they exist.
And to be fair, the other regions don't have very well-known legends. I'm not saying they -don't- have legends, they are likely to have a lot of them even, but you'll have to search a bit to find them. |

The Fuyuki castle is where Kiritsugu fought Kayneth and where Archer fought Berserker. |

Certainly there is more than one castle. The one Iri was created and where Ilya lived is in Germany or some other German-speaking country (possibly Switzerland, because I recall Ilya having Francs in the original VN), and is their normal living location and the Eiiinzbern family base. The one in Fuyuki is indeed only used as accomodation for their nominated master in the Grail War. Ilya says it is empty the rest of the time. I don't remember if the one in Fuyuki is shown in the first episode or not, but I'm pretty sure the one in Germany is.

The castle in Fuyuki appears for the first time in episode 7, if I checked correctly. Last edited by chaos_alfa; 2013-12-22 at 17:19. |

Is it the lesser grail or the greater grail that allows servants to stay in the real world? I've always thought that without the lesser grail, servants wouldn't be able to stay in the real world, as was what happened in FZ when Saber destroyed the lesser grail (cup). Someone I'm talking to claims the lesser grail has no part in servants being able to stay in the real world.
If I'm wrong, then what caused Saber's disappearance? |
