History Timeline / Nasuverse

* At an unknown point in time in the ''Fate'' route of '''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', Shirou Emiya manages to find his way to Avalon, having endlessly pursued her while she forever waited for him. At this point, he has become a hero in his own way, allowing himself and Saber to enjoy peace together.

** In the timeline of ''Fate/Zero'' and ''Fate/stay night'', the Einzberns summon [[UsefulNotes/{{Zoroastrianism}} Aŋra Mainiiu]] as Avenger, under the impression that he would an incredibly powerful Divine Spirit. Unfortunately for them, Avenger turns out to be weakling and is killed instantly, but his soul enters the Grail and corrupts it. The War ends with no clear victor yet again, but Avenger stays inside the Grail as it tries to fulfill the wish for there to be an embodiment of All the World's Evils and begins gathering power for his reincarnation.

* Shortly after the ending of the Fifth Holy Grail War, ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'' takes place. Aŋra Mainiiu, released from the Grail, attempts to survive by latching onto the DyingDream of Bazett Fraga McRemitz, a Magus who was originally the Master of the Fifth Grail War's Lancer but was seemingly killed by Kotomine to gain her Servant. In this dream, Aŋra creates a world based off said Grail War except it combines all three routes, and puts himself into the role of Shirou Emiya while Bazett attempts to win the Grail War, not knowing that Aŋra is doing so in order to help her. Eventually, Aŋra learns that Kotomine's daughter, Caren Ortensia, can heal and stabilize Bazett, so he ends the dream and frees Bazett, though it requires help from all the Servants within the dream. Bazett goes on to meet the real Shirou after while Aŋra moves on.

-'''2001''
* In the ''-A piece of blue glass moon''' timeline, Roa awakens within Elesia and invites some Dead Apostle Ancestors to France on Christmas Eve to enact the Sixth Ritual with the intent of ensnaring Arcueid. The Ritual is a failure as an uninvited sixth guest made things go off-balance and Arcueid kills Roa's latest host, with events after for Ciel playing out as they do in the original. Besides Ciel, a young girl named Noel also made it through the horrific massacre and is also recruited into the Church.

* Deep within the LandOfFaerie Avalon located in the Reverse Side of the World, six ancient fairies are tasked by the planet itself to create a weapon that acts as the ultimate defense for it. Said weapon was {{Excalibur}}, and would be kept safe unless a threat to the planet arrived that warranted its power.

* An ancient civilization called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%87atalh%C3%B6y%C3%BCk Çatalhöyük]] exists. The people worship a deity as the first Earth Mother Goddess. While the deity has long since been forgotten, the concept of Earth Mother Goddess is established, and her Authority is passed down to other goddesses including Tiamat.

* The events of Myth/ArthurianLegend take place, though the name and gender of Arthur varies depending on the timeline. Arthur's uncle Vortigern fights to keep Britain in the Age of Gods, but falls at hand of Arthur and their Round Table. Arthur creates the kingdom of Camelot, but it falls when Arthur's sister, Morgan le Fay, uses Arthur to create the homunculus Mordred, who mortally wounds Arthur at the battle of Camlann. The fall of Camelot is permanently written into Proper Human History as a Quantum Time Lock. Arthur regrets the fall of their kingdom on their deathbed and desires the Holy Grail in an attempt to avert its fall. After being summoned into future Holy Grail Wars several times, they come to accept Camelot's end and are carried by Vivian, the Lady of the Lake, to sleep within Avalon instead of dying and ascending to the Throne of Heroes after returning Excalibur to her. Merlin is sealed within the Garden of Avalon by Vivian, but witnesses Arthur's final resolution and lets the Cath Palug out into the world.

* In another timeline, the nigh-omnipotent wunderkind child mage Manaka Sajyou summons male King Arthur in Tokyo to fight the First Holy Grail War in the ''Anime/FatePrototype'' prequel ''Fragments of Sky Silver''.

* Male King Arthur is summoned once more, this time by Manaka's sister Ayaka Sajyou to fight the Second Holy Grail War in Tokyo in ''Anime/FatePrototype''.

* In the ''Tsukihime'' timeline, Roa chooses a recently born French girl named Elesia as his 17th incarnation, who possesses immense magical potential despite being born to an ordinary family of bakers.

* The Solar System is formed. In ''Fate/Extra'' timelines a mysterious civilization creates the Moon Cell which records everything happening on Earth, similar to the Root.

* [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology Tiamat and Abzu beget the Mesopotamian pantheon]]. Abzu is slain by his progeny, and when the gods turn against Tiamat, she spawns the Eleven Magical Beasts to aid her in battle. Tiamat is defeated by her descendent Marduk, and banished to Imaginary Number Space to prevent a goddess with the ability to spawn randomized offspring from overwriting the established world. Tiamat sleeps, waiting for the chance to return to Earth.
* In the area that would later be called Britain, six ancient fairies are tasked by the planet itself to create a weapon that acts as the ultimate defense for it. Said weapon was {{Excalibur}}, and would be kept safe unless a threat to the planet arrived that warranted its power.

* The first phase in the ending of the Age of Gods, decline. Gods roam the Earth as the dominant species and the personification of concepts and nature, establishing civilizations with humanity as their subjects. The alien being known as Velber, which was created by the same civilization that made the Moon Cell, approaches Earth and enacts its function of harvesting civilizations by deploying a piece of itself called the White Titan Sefar to slaughter the gods and breaking down everything into Spiritrons to be absorbed. Sefar begins her attack and rampages across Earth, slaughtering many pantheons, scattering civilizations, and absorbing all she destroys to grow larger and more powerful. She is eventually defeated by the human wielder of Excalibur, but the damage done is irreversible; many gods lie dead and humanity has lost faith in them for succeeding where their deities could not. The deterioration of the Age of Gods begins, with the gods' influence and power waning while humanity's grows.

* ORT, the Ultimate One of Mercury, receives Gaia's dying call to exterminate humanity ahead of time, arrives in South America, and begins sleeping until the promised time of ''Notes'' when Gaia dies.

* The second phase in the ending of the Age of Gods, parting, and the dawn of modern civilization. All of humanity unites for the first time in Mesopotamia, and they speak the Unified Language. The Mesopotamian gods sense their waning influence, and create [[Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh Gilgamesh]] as a keystone, the "Wedge of the Heavens," to connect humanity and the gods. Gilgamesh unexpectedly rebels against his given purpose and encourages the separation of gods and humanity, further weakening the gods and degrading them into Divine Spirits. The gods decide to rein in him by creating Enkidu, but the two unexpectedly became friends. Following Gilgamesh's adventures and death, the first dynasty of Uruk ends and humanity drifts across the planet, taking Gilgamesh's treasures with them to one day become the Noble Phantasms of later heroes. Gilgamesh himself is recorded as the first Heroic Spirit in the Throne of Heroes.

* The True Ancestors are created. Gaia fears the domination of mankind as they continue to develop, and asks the other heavenly bodies of the Solar System for help to protect itself from humans since it lacks its own Ultimate One. Crimson Moon Brunestud, the Ultimate One of the Moon, answers its call and makes a deal with Gaia. In exchange for letting Gaia use Crimson Moon's body as a template to create its defenders, Crimson Moon will be allowed to live on Earth. Unbeknownst to Gaia, Crimson Moon plans on using the True Ancestors as backups in case its current body is destroyed. Crimson Moon remains on Earth and plans on creating a kingdom of its own, and begins turning humans into Dead Apostles to serve him.

* [[Literature/TheBible King Solomon of Israel]] detects the deterioration of True Magic and realizes that an alternative must come up if humanity is to continue performing magic without needing a connection to the gods. He creates [[Literature/ArsGoetia the 72 Demon God Pillars]] and binds them as his familiars to watch over humanity, and uses the summoning spell Goetia as the foundation for modern Magecraft. Solomon's death in 931 BC further accelerates the decaying Age of Gods and the decline of Mystery. Following his death, the summoning spell Goetia gains a will of its own and incarnates in Solomon's corpse, taking his identity and abilities. Using Solomon's Clairvoyance, he sees that humanity is destined to perish in the year 2016 and begins a great plan to go back in time and remake humanity more to his liking. To this end, he conditions mage families to pass down their Magic Crests and bloodlines no matter what while hiding triggers within certain families so he can activate them and turn the mages into his Demon God Pillars at certain points in history.

* The Age of Gods completely ends. The laws of the World change from ones based on Mystery to physics based. All Phantasmal Beasts retreat to the Reverse Side of the World where Mystery still exists while the Divine Spirits retreat to a higher plane, but they can no longer directly influence mankind. In certain regions of the world such as Britain, the local Texture remains in the Age of Gods with Mystery and True Ether still extant.

* Crimson Moon Brunestud and Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, wielder of the Second Magic, have a grand duel against each other. The duel ends in Zelretch's victory due to Crimson Moon's unfamiliarity with Magic, but Zelretch has his blood sucked and is turned into a Dead Apostle during the battle. Crimson Moon survives the duel as a discarnate existence and begins waiting for the chance to reincarnate in a suitable True Ancestor. In ''Tsukihime'' timelines, Zelretch joins the ranks of the Dead Apostle Ancestors.

* The events of Myth/KingArthur take place, though the name and gender of Arthur varies depending on the timeline. Arthur's uncle Vortigern fights to keep Britain in the Age of Gods, but fails. Arthur creates the kingdom of Camelot, but it falls when Arthur's sister, Morgan, uses Arthur to create Mordred, who mortally wounds Arthur at the battle of Camlann. The fall of Camelot is permanently written into Proper Human History as a Quantum Time Lock. Arthur regrets the fall of their kingdom and desires the Holy Grail in an attempt to avert its fall. Merlin is sealed within the Garden of Avalon, but witnesses Arthur's final resolution and lets the Cath Palug out into the world.

* The Clock Tower discovers the Spirit Grave Albion underneath it. It is a massive underground labyrinth containing the corpse of a dragon that did not reach the Reverse Side of the World, and died trying to burrow its way there. The deeper one goes, the closer they get to the Reverse Side of the World. Albion is declared an invaluable asset for the declining mage society, and many flock to the Clock Tower.

* The Fourth Holy Grail War takes place in November of this year, depicted in ''Fate/stay night'' prequel ''LightNovel/FateZero''. Kiritsugu Emiya representing the Einzberns summons female King Arthur as Saber, while Tokiomi Tohsaka summons Gilgamesh as Archer. Due to the corruption of the Grail, the war ends with no clear victor yet again. Tokiomi is betrayed by his apprentice Kirei Kotomine who teams up with Gilgamesh. Kiritsugu kills Kotomine, discovers the corrupted Grail and tries to destroy it using Saber but fails to do so, dumping its corrupted contents onto Fuyuki City. The Grail grants Kotomine's desire for suffering and starts the Fuyuki City Fire, while bringing back Kotomine from the dead and incarnating Gilgamesh. The two begin waiting for the next War so they can unleash Aŋra Mainiiu onto the world for their own purposes. Shirou survives the fire but suppresses his memories of his life before the fire from the trauma, and is then adopted by Kiritsugu. For his failure and betrayal, Kiritsugu is banned from the Einzbern family grounds and forbidden from seeing his daughter Illyasviel despite his best efforts. The Einzberns begin preparing Illya to serve as the Grail vessel and their representative in the next War, while training her to hate her father and adopted brother.

** ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route: Shirou forms a romantic bond with fellow Master Rin Tohsaka. The Grail is destroyed and Shirou learns where his beliefs in heroism will lead him but follows it regardless. Rin and Shirou leave to the Clock Tower so Shirou can become a proper Magus.
** ''Heavens Feel'' route: Shirou forms a romantic bond with his classmate, and later revealed Master, Sakura Matou. The Greater Grail is deactivated, ending the Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars, but Shirou dies in the process. His soul is saved though and put into a doll like body that allows him survive, allowing to live with Sakura. Shirou gives up his aspirations of becoming a hero in this route.

* In the ''Fate/Grand Order'' timeline, the Fuyuki Holy Grail War takes place for the first time. Lord Marisbury Animusphere wins with Solomon as his Caster Servant. He uses his wish from the Grail to acquire funds and resources to establish the organization Chaldea, while Solomon wishes to live as a normal human and reincarnates as Romani Archaman.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' begins in its timeline. Goetia finally initiates his 3,000 year plan in the making, the Regression Canal/Light Year Genesis, and incinerates the entirety of human history and starts using burned humans as fuel to travel 4.6 billion years into the past and remake history as he sees fit. Chaldea detects the cause of the Human Order Incineration Incident as seven pockets of isolated space-time called Singularities existing in the past throughout human history causing massive time-space distortions which invalidate the Quantum Time Locks and reduce Proper Human History outside the Singularities to a chaotic mess of mere probabilities, requiring them to correct the situation by travelling into the Singularities and obtaining the Holy Grails that sustain their existence in a mission called the Grand Order. Chaldea learns of Goetia's true identity, foils his plan, and restores humanity, but it takes a whole year to do so, which shows up as a blank period in mankind's memory and threatens the secrecy of Magecraft. They also learn that humanity is destined to perish sometime after 2016, which is why Goetia waited 3,000 years to enact his plan. Following his defeat, Chaldea enacts the Remnant Order and defeats four remaining Demon God Pillars and the Subspecies Singularities they bring forth.
* In both the non-''Grand Order'' ''Fate'' and ''Tsukihime'' timelines, Lev Lainur, host of the Demon God Pillar Flauros, commits suicide in ''Clock Tower 2015'' in an effort to stop Goetia's plan.

* The catastrophe Goetia foresaw arrives on New Year's Eve in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' Part 2, ''Cosmos in the Lostbelt''. A Foreign God descends onto Earth, kills all of mankind and then wipes the surface of the planet entirely blank. The Foreign God plans to replace Proper Human History with a timeline where the Age of Gods never ended by planting seven Fantasy Trees which sustain pruned timelines called Lostbelts. Each Lostbelt is run/overseen by a Crypter, a former Magus of Chaldea who was nearly killed by Lev Lainur's sabotage but was saved by being frozen over, who now ally with the Foreign God to bring about a new human history. Chaldea is driven from its home base and forced onto the run, and must now enter the Lostbelts and destroy the seven Fantasy Trees to restore the proper history and stop the Human Order Revision.

* The events of ''Literature/AngelNotes'' take place in an unknown timeline. Gaia dies, but humans continue to live on in spite of this by modifying themselves to survive in a dead world filled with toxic mana. Unable to accept humans outliving its planet, Gaia calls out to the other planets to exterminate humanity. The Ultimate Ones of the other planets arrive and great battles unfold. Types Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are destroyed, but the conclusion is unknown.

* In the area that would later be called Britain, ancient fairies were tasked with creating a weapon that would used as the ultimate defense for the planet. Said weapon was {{Excalibur}}, and would be kept safe unless a threat to the planet arrived that warranted its power.

* The events of Myth/KingArthur take place, though the name and gender of Arthur varies depending on the timeline. Arthur's uncle Vortigern fights to keep Britain in the Age of Gods, but fails. The fall of Camelot is permanently written into Proper Human History as a Quantum Time Lock. Arthur regrets the fall of their kingdom and desires the Holy Grail in an attempt to avert its fall. Merlin is sealed within the Garden of Avalon, but witnesses Arthur's final resolution and lets the Cath Palug out into the world.

!Proper Human History

Proper Human History is the great tree of timelines which the Counter Force designated as the routes with the most potential for the Human Order's progress.

* The first phase in the ending of the Age of Gods, decline. Gods roam the Earth as the dominant species, establishing civilizations with humanity as their subjects.

The deterioration of the Age of Gods begins, with the gods' influence and power waning while humanity's grows.

* Olympus and Atlantis are destroyed by Sefar. The Twelve Machine Gods have the ability to temporarily recombine and repel Sefar, but they are initially unconcerned with her invasion as they too descended from outer space and decide not to. The Machine Gods pay for this flippant attitude when they realize too late that Sefar is an anti-civilization weapon and are physically slain and reduced to Divine Spirits, called from hereon as the Twelve Olympians. Ares in particular is slain right before Sefar's own death and his prized Sword of Mars is taken by her as a war trophy. The remnants of Atlantean civilization eventually drift to Greece and establish a [[UsefulNotes/AncientGreece new civilization]] there.

* The mana that permeated the air in the Age of Gods, True Ether, is replaced with the inferior Ether and discovered by mages. Some mages decide to study the new form of Mystery and Magecraft, but others decide to stick to the old ways and split off, forming the Wandering Sea and Atlas Institutes. The three branches stay connected as the Mage's Association.

* Crimson Moon Brunestud and Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, wielder of the Second Magic, have a grand duel against each other. The duel ends in Zelretch's victory due to Crimson Moon's unfamiliarity with Magic, but Zelretch has his blood sucked and is turned into a Dead Apostle during the battle. Crimson Moon survives the duel as a bodiless existence and begins waiting for the chance to reincarnate in a suitable True Ancestor. In ''Tsukihime'' timelines, Zelretch joins the ranks of the Dead Apostle Ancestors.

* The remains of Sefar have long since forgotten all memories due to her long sleep. She is found by the Huns and given the name of Attila, though she prefers Altera. Altera is then used as a weapon by the Huns against the Roman Empire. In ''Fate/Extra'' timelines, the Sefar still trapped in the Moon Cell is able to view her memories and decides to take on the name Altera as well.

* All but a handful of Divine Spirits are relegated to the Reverse World.

* In the timeline of ''Fate/Extra'', an unknown incident (heavily implied to be the Aylesbury Ritual to awaken the Dead Apostle Ancestor the Dark Six) causes the World's mana to start drying up and trigger the conditions for Overcount 1999, causing it to diverge from the ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' timeline.

* The Fifth Holy Grail War takes place in February of this year, depicted in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. Female King Arthur is summoned yet again, this time by Kiritsugu's adopted son Shirou Emiya.

* Fire Giants invade from Muspelheim, sparking the beginning of [[Myth/NorseMythology Ragnarök]] in Scandinavia though that event is perceived in the Age of Man as Mount Katla erupting. The Norse pantheon dies and the fire giant Surtr burns away the local Texture, ending the Age of Gods there.

The Association gathers seven Masters including the disguised Amakusa and sends them to Trifas to engage Yggdmillennia in the Great Holy Grail War. Due to the battle involving 14 Servants, the Grail summons UsefulNotes/JeanneDArc as Ruler to arbitrate the War.

In another universe entirely, a DysonSphere called Chaos is created by an alien civilization as an ark to carry them to another planet, though the civilization perished. Chaos continues its functions, and deploys a fleet of smaller robots into our universe to find a suitable planet to terraform so it may recreate its builders' civilization. This fleet would later be called the Titans, led by the flagship Chronos. The Titans split into another fleet, the future Olympians, which then rebels against them in the Titanomachia, with victors continuing their voyage under the new flagship Zeus. After a long period of time, the fleet encounters Earth and decides to land on it since their functions were breaking down and the planet closely matched the conditions Chaos specified for terraforming. Upon landing, humans begin worshipping them as the Twelve Machine Gods or Twelve Pillars, and give them and their Titan creators names as only Chaos received one originally. The worship changes them from machines of mere functions to gods with their own egos, and in thanks the Twelve Machine Gods establish a technologically advanced society for humanity in {{Atlantis}}, with their capital the Interstellar Mountainous City, Olympus, located in an incredibly large underground and underwater space directly beneath the Atlantis archipelago.

Using Solomon's Clairvoyance, he sees that humanity is destined to perish in the year 2016 and begins a great plan to go back in time and remake humanity more to his liking. To this end, he conditions mage families to pass down their Magic Crests and bloodlines no matter what while hiding triggers within certain families so he can activate them and turn the mages into his agents at certain points in history.

* In the ''Fate'' timelines, Makiri Zolgen, later named Zouken Matou, arrives at the Einzbern Castle, mostly disillusioned with his goal to eliminate all the evils of the world and with the Einzbern being his last hope. He meets Justeaze, and feels a complicated mix of emotions—hope towards fulfilling his ambition, jealousy at her ability to use the Third Magic, and pity for Justeaze’s eternal youth causing her to repeat the same day. The Einzbern family collaborates with Matou Zouken and Nagato Tohsaka, with Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, master of the Second Magic, overseeing them, to make the plan a reality in the city of Fuyuki, Japan. By using Justeaze Lirich Von Einzbern as the core of the Greater Grail, they would use a derivative of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System used by the Counter Force to summon seven copies of Heroic Spirits called Servants, collect their souls into the Lesser Holy Grail, and use them to open the gate to Akasha. Since the three families could only summon one Servant each, they decided to lure four other mages in and have them summon their own Servants. The plan ends in failure thanks to infighting.

* In ''Fate'' timelines, Roa in the guise of his latest incarnation Tarantella encounters [[Literature/TheCountofMonteCristo Edmond Dantès]]. His soul is permanently destroyed by the the future Avenger's black flames, preventing him from reincarnating ever again.

** In the ''Fate/Apocrypha'' timeline, the Einzberns summon [[UsefulNotes/AmakusaShiro Amakusa Shirō Tokisada]] as a Ruler. Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia, master of the Servant Lancer Fionn mac Cumhaill, teams up with the Nazis to steal the Greater Grail from Fuyuki, only to betray them and steal the Grail for himself. The three families give up on the Third Magic with the loss of the Greater Grail. Both Darnic and Amakusa survive, and begin planning for the next Holy Grail War. In the meantime, lesser copycat Grails with their own wars begin popping up around the world.
** In the ''Literature/FateStrangeFake'' timeline, one of the participants, an American mage of the Dioland family, goes back to the United States with his puppets having recorded the entire war. Together with the US government and military, they develop a plan to hold a Holy Grail War on American soil. They acquire a sacred land with leylines on par with Fuyuki in Nevada, evicting the indigenuous tribes that lived there, and found the city of Snowfield.

* The Fourth Holy Grail War takes place in February of this year, depicted in ''Fate/stay night'' prequel ''LightNovel/FateZero''. Kiritsugu Emiya representing the Einzberns summons female King Arthur as Saber, while Tokiomi Tohsaka summons Gilgamesh as Archer. Due to the corruption of the Grail, the war ends with no clear victor yet again. Tokiomi is betrayed by his apprentice Kirei Kotomine who teams up with Gilgamesh. Kiritsugu kills Kotomine, discovers the corrupted Grail and tries to destroy it using Saber but fails to do so, dumping its corrupted contents onto Fuyuki City. The Grail grants Kotomine's desire for suffering and starts the Fuyuki City Fire, while bringing back Kotomine from the dead and incarnating Gilgamesh. Shirou survives the fire but loses all his memories from the trauma, and is then adopted by Kiritsugu.

* The Fifth Holy Grail War takes place in February of this year, depicted in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. Female King Arthur is summoned yet again, this time by Kiritsugu's adopted son Shirou Emiya. The timeline splits into three with different results depending on the choices Shirou makes, represented in-game by the route taken, but no matter what the corruption of the Grail is discovered. In the ''Heaven's Feel'' route, the Greater Grail is deactivated, ending the Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars.

* The catastrophe Goetia foresaw arrives in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' Part 2, ''Cosmos in the Lostbelt''. A Foreign God descends onto Earth, kills all of mankind and then wipes the surface of the planet entirely blank. The Foreign God plans to replace Proper Human History with a timeline where the Age of Gods never ended by planting seven Fantasy Trees which sustain pruned timelines called Lostbelts. Chaldea is driven from its home base and forced onto the run, and must now enter the Lostbelts and destroy the seven Fantasy Trees to restore the proper history and stop the Human Order Revision.

* The events of ''Literature/AngelNotes'' take place in an unknown timeline. Gaia dies, but humans continue to live on in spite of this. Unable to accept humans outliving its planet, Gaia calls out to the other planets to exterminate humanity. The Ultimate Ones of the other planets arrive and great battles unfold. Types Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are destroyed, but the conclusion is unknown.

* In the timeline of ''Fate/Extra'', an unknown incident (heavily implied to be the Aylesbury Ritual to awaken the Dead Apostle Ancestor the Dark Six) causes the World's mana to start drying up and trigger the conditions for Overcount/1999, causing it to diverge from the ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' timeline.

* In the ''Tsukihime'' timeline, Roa chooses his 17th incarnation, a young French girl named Elesia who possesses immense magical potential despite being born to an ordinary family of bakers. Arcueid awakens and hunts him down, but due to her immense power, Elesia revives and is rendered immortal due to the World confusing her existence with Roa's. She survives the Church's attempts to execute her and then joins their Burial Agency for the purpose of killing Roa for good and ending her immortality.

* Fire Giants invade from Muspelhelm sparking the beginning of [[Myth/NorseMythology Ragnarök]] in Scandinavia though that event is perceived in the Age of Man as Mount Kayle erupting. The Norse pantheon dies, while the fire giant Surtr burns away the local Texture and ending the Age of Gods there.

* Justeaze Lirich Von Einzbern is created, completely by accident, proving the Einzberns' 1000 year old thesis of the Third Magic, Heaven's Feel. However, while her abilities were equal to or above those of their master, they were not cost effective, as it would take several years to save just one person with this Magic, making their goal, the salvation of the entire human race, virtually unattainable. The magi despair as she was a mutation that was born regardless of their own techniques or skills, and she is not only so frail that she can be killed by anything and thus never leave the castle, but her mentality is also unaging, making her relive the same day for eternity. The magi try to create a homunculus that excel Justeaze by their own techniques, and so the castle’s central management—the golem Jubstacheit—is born and become the father of all homunculi. The magi abandon the castle, while others took their own lives, leaving the homunculi to continue to operate the factory for the sake of the creators’ ideal of saving all of humankind.

* Arcueid Brunestud is created by the True Ancestors to be the strongest of her kind, and used to hunt down Dead Apostle Ancestors and True Ancestors who had fallen to their hunger for blood. She is tricked by Michael Roa Valdamjong into drinking his blood and goes berserk, slaughtering many of the True Ancestors in the process. Roa becomes a Dead Apostle and steals much of her strength in the process. Thus begins the cycle of Arcueid hunting down Roa and killing him, only for him to reincarnate. Arcueid sleeps in between cycles to control her blood lust.

* In the ''Fate'' timelines, Makiri Zolken arrives at the Einzbern Castle, mostly disillusioned with his goal to eliminate all the evils of the world and with the Einzbern being his last hope. He meets Justeaze, and feels a complicated mix of emotions—hope towards fulfilling his ambition, jealousy at her ability to use the Third Magic, and pity for Justeaze’s eternal youth causing her to repeat the same day. The Einzbern family collaborate with Matou Zouken and Nagato Tohsaka, with Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, master of the Second Magic, overseeing them, to make the plan a reality in the city of Fuyuki, Japan.

Since the three families could only summon one Servant each, they decided to lure four other mages in and have them summon their own Servants. The plan ends in failure thanks to infighting.

* ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' takes place in its timeline. Darnic and his organization Yggdmillennia secede from the Mage's Association and retreat to Trifas, Transylvania. They use the stolen Greater Grail to summon seven Servants and slaughter the mages sent by the Association to retake the Grail, but not before one of the mages activates the Grail's backup systems, allowing the Association to summon their own Servants. The Association gathers seven Masters including the disguised Amakusa and sends them to Trifas to engage Yggdmillennia in the Great Holy Grail War. Due to the battle involving 14 Servants, the Grail summons UsefulNotes/JeanneDArc as Ruler to arbitrate the War. In the end, both Darnic and Amakusa perish in the conflict and the Greater Grail is taken to the Reverse Side of the World to prevent further misuse.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' takes place right before the Fifth Holy Grail War but in another timeline and in Miyaki City. Arcueid awakens to hunt down Roa's 18th incarnation, SHIKI Tohno, and possibly meets up with similarly named boy Shiki Tohno who possesses the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

* In an utterly bizarre timeline where Dead Apostles and Heroic Spirits can coexist, ''Literature/FateStrangeFake'' occurs in Snowfield, Nevada. A False Holy Grail War improperly copied from the disastrous Third Holy Grail War starts up with only six of the regular Servant Classes summoned. The false war is used to generate energy to start up the True Holy Grail War which summons an extra seven Servants, and the collective wars are called the Snowfield Holy Grail War.
