A Texture (テクスチャ, Tekusucha?) is a layer of the fabric of reality. Multiple Textures make up the surface of the World.[1][2]

Details[]

The Textures are layers of reality which wrap around the planet's surface, including the 'present world' bound by the laws of physics in which humans currently live and the Reverse Side of the World beneath it.[1][3][2]

It is possible for certain beings and artifacts of immense power to alter, weave or remove Textures.[4][5][6][3] There are lynchpins which prevent Textures from peeling away from the surface of the World, such as Rhongomyniad, which fastens the outer layer.[1][7] Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang is one as well.[8] True Ancestors are capable through their Event Storage ability, to conceptually and physically store that which is on the surface of the planet, the ability to requisition Textures.[9]

History[]

In 1000 BC, during Ragnarök, the Fire Giant Surtr burned away the Norse Texture with his flaming sword, bringing the Twilight of the Gods and ending the Age of Gods in Scandinavia.[3]

Fate/Grand Order[]

During the events surrounding the Ishtar Cup, Ishtar used a Holy Grail to impose a Venusian Texture upon the soil of ConnachtWP as part of a plan to recreate Gugalanna.[4][5][10]

After blanking the surface of the Earth at the end of 2017, the Alien God rewrote the world's Texture in order to fix the Lostbelts to the planet's surface.[6]

In the Atlantic Lostbelt, the ocean containing Atlantis is a Texture covering the surface of the planet, and Olympus is beneath that Texture.[11]

Tsukihime[]

ArcueidGravitySphere

The Gravity Sphere.

The gravitational sphere that appeared at Arcueid Brunestud's feet when she entered her Luminous Body was of a scale great enough to store the entire planet's Texture.[9][12]

Development[]

Creation and Conception[]

Kinoko Nasu states that the concept of "Textures" was originally made for the Tsukihime Remake.

    [v] Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm - Section 14: Hidden Research [T]

    Holmes:
    You are Master Gudao, and she is Mash Kyrielight.
    Over there is Xuanzang Sanzang, a Servant. And you are Tawara Touta, a Servant.
    And you… Oh? What a surprise. You’ve befriended a knight of the Round Table.

    A pleasure to meet you, Sir Bedivere. I mustn’t forget to extend my friendship to a fellow Englishman.

    1.How do you know my name!?
    2.How do you know everyone’s true names!?

    Holmes:
    Elementary, my friends.

    Mash:
    (There’s his signature line! He’s the real Mr. Holmes!)

    Holmes:
    We’ve already made contact, through an exchange of information before you came here today.

    Mash:
    Information?

    Holmes:
    You safely recovered the intelligence that I left at the Magic Association in London, right?
    All I did was organize the documents, but I believe I did you a valuable service.
    I picked out only the information you needed, and arranged it in a manner that was easy to understand.
    At that point, you’d already accepted me as a collaborator aiding you from the shadows.

    1.Come to think of it…
    2.Andersen did say something…

    Mash:
    Yes, Andersen mentioned that someone had already organized everything before he started his research!
    So it was all thanks to Mr. Holmes!

    Holmes:
    Yes. If I had made it too easy, Makiri would have found out.
    I arranged it so that only a truly wise man would come to realize its meaning, in his pursuit of truth.
    You needed to know that information. Not as observers, but as the investigators of this murder mystery.

    1.Murder mystery?

    Holmes:
    Indeed, a murder mystery. A case on a scale unlike any I have encountered. “The Exhaustive Slaughter of Humanity by the Incineration of the Human Order.”
    Truly, a case of mythic proportions. Is it any surprise that I would appear on the scene?

    Bedivere:
    …Um, Gudao, Lady Mash, I’m sorry to interrupt when you’re so excited, but…
    Who is he? Holmes… I remember no knight by that name…

    Holmes:
    How tragic.
    It’s true that I was never knighted as a “Sir,” but the man who recorded my exploits received that honor.

    Bedivere:
    ? The man who passed on your feats was a knight? Erm… my lady?

    Mash:
    Yes, Sir Bedivere. Mr. Holmes is the world’s most famous detective.
    Your class is… Caster, probably? You’re the genuine father of all detectives.
    Ahh, if only comms were up and running, the Doctor would be overjoyed!
    I can barely contain my own excitement! Sherlock Holmes was real!
    In other words, Sir Conan Doyle’s novels were Dr. Watson’s memoirs!

    Holmes:
    Heh. Our humble attempts to earn a living were worth it after all, if they brought this angelic child such joy.
    But Miss Kyrielight, my true self is nothing like the man you imagine me to be. Sadly, that story will have to wait for another day.
    Right now, I cannot accept you as a client, Mr. Gudao.

    Mash:
    Oh… Really?
    Mr. Holmes just gave us his opinion without sugarcoating it at all… it really is him…

    Holmes:
    Hahahahaha! What an avid reader! You know me so well!

    …Hm. There are many things I wish to help you with, but there are priorities to follow.
    I have been charged by Sir Babbage to uncover a mystery.
    He only left behind a slight shred of his intellect, but even that fragment was like a galaxy of brilliant genius.
    Until this case is concluded, I cannot join Chaldea.
    That is, however, not a critical problem. I shall leave the battle to your heroes.
    I am a detective. I have no interest in justice or glory. I merely solve mysteries. It is my duty to do so.

    Mash:
    (H-He’s exactly how I imagined him!)

    1.You’re saying that you just got here before us?
    2.What could the mystery be…?

    [1] Holmes:
    Exactly! I opened the trap door to invite you in!

    [2] Holmes:
    I’m going to give you a lecture on just that. We’ve a long road ahead, after all.

    Sanzang:
    You’re saying that you’re on Gudao’s side, but you can’t join us?

    Holmes:
    Yes. My friends, you have come to this academy in search of knowledge.
    The Old Man of the Mountain probably impressed on you the need to know everything, correct?
    Thus, you must go to the center of the academy. I also have business there.
    The core lies a distant 500 meters below the surface. These tunnels were deliberately designed to resemble an underground labyrinth.
    I will lead the way to the core. You’ll clear the traps with your bodies.
    I’m sure this will be a rewarding collaboration. Now, let us make haste. Infinite knowledge awaits us!


    Bedivere:
    We’ve come to work together with Master Holmes… Are you sure about this, Gudao?
    1.Let’s trust the detective.
    2.We share a common goal.

    Fou:
    Foh. Foh, fooh!

    Bedivere:
    I see. I was never good at dealing with his type. He gives off the same odor as Merlin…

    Mash:
    Master, mana signatures detected! Something’s coming!
    This is the same as London — autonomous familiars!

    Holmes:
    So the defense systems are still active after all! I was right to wait for your arrival!
    My existence is currently unstable, so I cannot engage in combat. I have high hopes for your performance!

    [battle]

    Holmes:
    In any case, what precisely is the Academy at Atlas?
    A good question, Mister Gudao.
    That which is so called bases itself in the other Atlas Mountains (もう一つのアトラス山, mou hitotsu no Atorasu-san?), situated in Egypt -- an academy for Alchemists.
    It is referred to also by the appellation of "The Giant's Pit" (巨人の穴倉, Kyojin no Anagura?, lit. "Giant's Pit-Cellar").
    One of the three primary branches of the Thaumaturgical Association --
    an institution that specializes in aggregation (蓄積, chikuseki?, lit. "accumulation") and appraisal (計測, keisoku?, lit. "measurement").
    Diverging from the modern practice of Alchemy (現代錬金術, Gendai Renkinjutsu?, lit. "modern Alchemy") that has since the medieval period entered the vogue,
    they are an organization that conducts inquiry (解明, kaimei?, lit. "elucidation") into the basis of Magecraft (魔術の祖, Majutsu no So?, lit. "the forefathers / origins of Magecraft") and the Laws of the World (世界の理, Sekai no Kotowari?, lit. "the principles / rationalities of the World").
    Though they are indeed Magi, I've heard that they're predominantly academics possessed of scant Thaumaturgical Circuits (魔術回路の乏しい, Majutsu-Kairo no Toboshii?, lit. "a destitution of Magecraft Circuits").
    As an inevitable consequence, within the course of their study of Mysteries, they came to rely not upon Mana, but upon a great variety of instruments.
    Said instruments evolved in form so as to closely resemble those technologies employed in scientific inquiry.
    Pseudo-Spiritrons (疑似霊子, Giji-Ryōshi?, lit. "pseudo-spiritual particles") ...
    Making use of the soul as a quantifiable (観測可能な, kansoku-kanō-na?, lit. "capable of being observed") energy,
    they were able to coin (創造, sōzō?, lit. "create / fabricate") Homunculi -- organisms possessed of Thaumaturgical Circuits.

    1.It’s really dangerous, got it.
    2.Why’s it called the Titan’s Pit?

    [1] Holmes:
    A simple understanding! Very good!

    [2] Holmes:
    Hm. In Greek mythology, remember that titan who held up the world? His name was Atlas.
    Perhaps they inherited his duty.
    The Atlas Academy has always been in the Atlas mountains. I’ve heard that its naming was just a simple decision.
    The alchemists of the Atlas Academy are descended from the goddess Isis, the ancestor of magi in Egyptian mythology.
    Its appearance in this Egypt may be thanks to that connection.

    Bedivere:
    They hid themselves underground in their study of magic… no wonder I’ve never heard of this school.
    But I see no students. Is the Atlas Academy destroyed?

    Holmes:
    …No. According to my investigations, the Atlas Academy has operated from before the Common Era into the year 2016.
    The fact that we haven’t seen anyone is probably…
    No, let us avoid conjecture. All will be clear once we reach the core.
    An underground academy full of mysteries. Laboratories built with unknown technologies…
    It may be the ideal shelter. Or perhaps, it is little more than a mass grave.
    Let us pursue the truth with hope in our hearts.


    Bedivere:
    The construction of this place is rather convoluted. It’s more like a labyrinth than an academy.
    There have only been forks with two paths as we’ve descended, but turn back and you find yourself at yet another fork.
    It feels intended to confuse the traveler. Almost as if…

    Holmes:
    Indeed, it is designed to confuse anyone trying to get out. One can enter, but leaving is no trivial feat.

    Mash:
    It’s the opposite of what you’d imagine as a defense against looters. I wonder why it’s built this way.

    Holmes:
    They feared people leaving more than they cared about visitors.
    The Atlas Academy is an assembly of geniuses. They each have their own independent workshops, within which they conduct their research.
    There are no taboos in this place. No penalties to prevent the creation of the most unethical of weapons.
    There is only one rule here. That which is created here must never leave.
    That is the founding principle of the Atlas Academy. They have observed this rule for over two thousand years.

    If I were to name an exception, it would be the seven contracts created during the founding of the academy.
    The Atlas Academy is bound to cooperate with someone who possesses one of these contracts.
    I’m sure they posed no small source of headaches to the headmasters. They probably thought their predecessor created the contracts on a whim.
    As of the year 2000, four contracts had been recovered, but the locations of the remaining three were unknown.

    [alarm]

    Holmes:
    Oh, the automated defenses activated in the middle of our conversation! Take care of them quickly, would you?

    [battle]

    Holmes:
    …Hm. Mister Gudao, do you care to hear my impressions of your battle command?

    1.Yes.
    2.No.

    [2] Holmes:
    Ha ha ha, too bad! It appears you don’t know me as well as Miss Kyrielight does!
    Sherlock Holmes never holds his tongue, never restrains himself, and never passes up a chance to annoy people!
    I merely offer my estimations!

    Holmes:
    In other words, Mister Gudao, I’m frankly astonished.
    The might of your collective combat ability is breathtaking, of course, but this is merely secondary to a greater factor.
    I might say that the root of your strength comes from the form of your contract.
    Never before has there been a Master connected to so many Servants.
    Even more extraordinary is the duration of your contracts.
    Originally, the summoning of Servants was meant to be a temporary measure, something created only for a given battlefield.
    An indefinite contract like yours should be impossible. And I expect that you, Master Gudao, have no secrets.
    In other words…

    1.In other words? (gulp)

    Holmes:
    …By the way, Miss Kyrielight. I see that you still can’t make full use of your Noble Phantasm.
    Why is that? Is it intentional?
    1.Did you just change the subject!?
    2.Mash still doesn’t know her true name…

    [1] Holmes:
    Ha ha ha. Hahahahahahahahaha.

    Mash:
    …Yes, I still don’t know the identity of the Heroic Spirit that granted me power…

    Holmes:
    That isn’t true. Its identity isn’t much of a problem. Your approach is merely incorrect.
    But worry not. The solution will come soon. There is no problem I cannot solve with data.
    …No, I apologize. I overspoke. There are still things you don’t know.
    We are still locked in fierce baritsu with an outstanding problem — the culprit behind the incineration of humanity. The true nature of the King of Magic.
    There is just no information about him at all.
    He’s left many traces throughout the ages, but none of these clues lead directly to King Solomon.
    If only there were someone who had met the King of Magic directly, we could perhaps parley with Solomon, or investigate him further, but I doubt there are any convenient witnesses to be found. All we can do is make guesses about him with the limited information we have.

    1.Um… We’ve seen the King of Magic.
    2.Well… We’re acquainted with the King of Magic.

    Holmes:
    ! So you were the critical reference I needed! By all means, tell me everything!
    What did he look like? What did he sound like? What style of magic did he use? And above all…
    …Above all, I want to hear your direct impression of him.
    Incongruity. Yes, that’s the word. Anything you noticed off about him will be key.
    Please, try and remember. Any trifle is valuable, no matter how small. Did you notice anything strange about the King of Magic?

    1.I remember what he looked like, but…
    2.Come to think of it, something was…

    [1] Mash:
    I remember too, but I can’t match up my memories… My visual memory of him feels like it’s smothered in noise…

    [2] Holmes:
    Yes, something was…?
    1.There was one thing about his appearance…
    2.It felt like he wasn’t complete…

    Holmes:
    Something incomplete… Something incomplete, eh? If someone meeting the King of Magic for the first time felt that, then…
    It must be something unintentional, so subtle as to make one think, “oh?” in unconscious confusion.

    Miss Kyrielight. Could I ask you to sketch the suspect?
    I want you to draw the King of Magic that you saw. Normally, even this minor act would trigger a punitive curse, but we are in the Atlas Academy. Its countermeasures against external curses are likely impervious. There is no danger to you.

    Mash:
    Understood. Drawing isn’t my specialty, but I’ll do my best to get his form down on paper.
    And… if you don’t mind, Mister Holmes, I’d like to offer my opinion as well.
    It isn’t the same incongruity that Senpai mentioned, but the King of Magic we encountered felt unstable in his words and actions. That’s what stood out to me.
    His moods swung from violent to calm, and there were times he was completely indifferent to us.
    To me, the changes all felt very sudden…

    Holmes:
    Hm. Describe it in detail. What was your dialogue like?


    Holmes:
    I see. Thank you, Miss Kyrielight.
    That information was truly beneficial. It was enough to give me a slight grasp on the true nature of the King of Magic.

    Mash:
    Y-You’re welcome. The honor was mine.

    Holmes:
    From your encounter, I believe that the King of Magic’s personality resembles a kind of mirror.

    Mash:
    A mirror?

    Holmes:
    Yes. A mirror that reflects those who stand before it. It reflects the personalities of the people talking to it.
    If a disorderly person is speaking, he becomes vulgar…
    And if an intelligent person speaks, he answers seriously.
    He answers savagery with cruelty, and calm with serenity.
    I doubt that he lacks a self. This isn’t also the same as having multiple personalities.
    It is likely that the King of Magic possesses multiple attributes. Or rather, an excessive number of them. That appears to be who he is.

    1.Oh, so when Mordred was violent…
    2.Oh, so when Andersen was a jackass…

    Mash:
    But he also said that he was indifferent to us, and that life had no meaning.
     I don’t think there was anybody there who was thinking that.

    Holmes:
    There’s the rub. That is what I find frightening, Miss Kyrielight.
    “Indifference to humans” is one of the truths about the King of Magic.
    After all, he has already annihilated humanity. He is unlike the Lion King currently attempting to destroy this era.
    He’s already won. He showed himself because victory was in his grasp.
    Of course he would feel indifferent to us. He has already moved on to his next endeavor.
    For example, imagine that there is a desk here. On top of the desk is a plan titled “Human Order Incineration.”
    He has long since completed that work, and is sitting at the next desk.
    Normally, that would be the end of it. Humanity should not have the option to fight him.
    But a miracle happened. It goes without saying that I mean all of you at Chaldea.
    A slim, blank space on the now unoccupied desk.

    Mash:
    …You’re saying that the King of Magic is indifferent to us because the incineration of the human order is a task he already completed?

    Holmes:
    Right. It would be more accurate to say that he is busy with his current work.
    I am afraid to learn what that new endeavor is.
    Listen, my friends. This is what we call a perfect crime.
    There was no one who could prevent it. We’ve been completely outplayed.
    A detective’s job begins after the crime has occurred… After victims appear.
    Even if we can shed light on the truth behind the crime, there is no way to reverse the deed.
    But you are different, Mister Gudao. You alone have the power to defy this rule.
    The King of Magic doesn’t believe that you can, and that is the sole weakness in his diabolical atrocity.


    Holmes:
    Rejoice, my friends. We’re almost at the core. Many answers await us ahead.
    The Old Man of the Mountain sent you here for two reasons.
    The first concerns this singularity. You are here to acquire information on the Lion King’s goals and holy lance.
    The second has to do with all seven singularities. In short, it relates to one aspect of the mystery behind the incineration of the human order.
    I am prepared to help you answer both of these questions. But before that…

    [alarm]
    1.Before that, we have to clear out these defenses, right?
    2.Right on time!

    Holmes:
    No. I have a warning. Rather, a declaration.
    The greatest reason I have come to you now is because Chaldea’s eyes cannot reach this place.
    I will say this while I can. I do not trust Doctor Roman.

    [battle]


    Mash:
    So this is the core of Atlas… There’s a sky in this underground chamber, Master!

    Bedivere:
    A space large enough to contain a town… To think someone could build such a massive cavern underground…
    This indeed seems to be an academy. It contains all the things people need to live.
    I’m sure the students find it wholesome as well, even if that sky is man-made.

    Holmes:
    Furthermore, those obelisks in the center are the Atlas Academy’s greatest storage media, the pseudo-spiritronic processor Trihermes.

    1.This is the… original?
    2.Now that you mention it, this construction…!

    [1] Holmes:
    That’s right. What you have in Chaldea is nothing more than a copy of this.
    It is photonic crystal, which has even been called Philosopher’s Stone. It is an out-of-place artifact impossible for current terrestrial science to create.

    [2] Mash:
    You’re right! It’s the same as the control room in Chaldea!
    Though… most of it is buried in sand…

    Holmes:
    Now, I’ve already acquired access rights. Normally, one would ask the staff for assistance…
    But as you can see, we are in a completely unoccupied ruin. With apologies to its owners, we will have to use it ourselves.

    Mash:
    …Yes. I wonder why the staff is absent, though.
    The entrance is buried in sand, but the facility seems to be in working order-

    Holmes:
    The reason is obvious — this is the Atlas Academy of 2016. It is from your era.

    Mash:
    The Atlas Academy of our time… Oh! Da Vinci mentioned that.
    She said there was another temporal aberration within the Egyptian territory, already removed from this time period.
    So this is what she meant!

    Holmes:
    Indeed. The magi have been incinerated, but the academy itself remains.
    Now, then. Let us proceed to the main topic. All events are recorded in Trihermes.
    Though we, not being Atlas alchemists, may be unable to learn all of that information…
    Unadulterated truth… We should be able to find what we need if we look for the outcomes alone. We’ll see the outcomes of the mathematical operations, at least.

    1.What are you looking for?
    2.It isn’t nice to spy on people, you know.

    [1] Holmes:
    I’m ashamed to say that I need records which even I cannot recall. I seek the document of a certain, secret event.

    [2] Holmes:
    Ha ha ha ha ha ha! That’s not it at all. I’m interested in the honest truth!
    There’s not a speck of guilt on my conscience, nope! The truth excites me, not the ecology of private individuals!

    Holmes:
    Now, Trihermes, bird that soars through the afterlife! Answer my query!
    I seek an incident that has been erased from all records. Show me the unabridged record of the Holy Grail War that took place in Japan, in the year 2004!

    Mash:
    The Holy Grail War!? You mean Singularity X?
    T-The Director did say that a ritual called the Holy Grail War took place in Singularity X, but…
    Do you mean that the truth of humanity’s incineration- That the spark was lit there!?

    Holmes:
    No, it didn’t begin there. But it is an important factor.
    The Holy Grail War is a grand ritual in which Heroic Spirits are summoned and made to fight each other, after which the surviving Master and Servant obtain the Holy Grail.
    You know that much, Mister Gudao?
    Good. Now, it really did happen. And the final occurrence was in 2004, in the Japanese city Fuyuki.
    I investigated the records of this war, but despite my efforts, I learned nothing about its course or its conclusion.
    All I could find was data on the beginning of the Holy Grail War; nothing but a list of the seven magi that gathered to fight in the war.
    And, one of those individuals is known to you. Rather, his daughter, I should say.

    1.Could it be…
    2.Chaldea’s previous director…?

    Holmes:
    That’s right. I speak of Olga-Marie Animusphere’s father, the late Director of Chaldea.
    He was a Lord of the Clock Tower who traveled to Japan in secret and fought in that blood-soaked ritual.
    His name is…

    …Hm. The results are back. It’s kind of sad that it doesn’t make any noise.
    But, I’m glad to see that they were within my estimates. Now, one of my questions has been answered.
    In 2004, the Holy Grail War took place in Japan. Its victor was Marisbilly Animusphere.
    Trihermes recorded that he killed six magi and obtained the omnipotent wishing machine known as the Holy Grail.


    Mash:
    He… obtained the Holy Grail?
    Before the human order was incinerated… before rei-shifting had been developed?

    Holmes:
    Yes. The record goes on. Marisbilly brought an assistant with him to the war.
    In the year following the Holy Grail War, this person received a special invitation to join the staff of Chaldea.
    It was unheard of for someone to become the head of the medical facility at age 22. So much that I would hesitate to call him a normal human being.

    1.The head of the medical facility…
    2.………

    Mash:
    Romani Archiman?
    The Doctor… knew the previous director before coming to Chaldea?

    Holmes:
    Yes. What’s even stranger is that Romani Archiman’s history is completely unknown.
    No matter how deeply I looked, I could find no records on him before the Holy Grail War. If we used Hermes, we could probably dig something up, but we simply don’t have time to sift through personnel files on billions of individuals, which change every year.
    That is why I don’t trust Doctor Roman. Without a doubt, he is a human, and no magus, yet…
    He is hiding something. It is something extraordinary. Something close to the truth of all this.

    Mash:
    ……

    Sanzang:
    Umm… Can I ask something?
    I’m not trying to complain that I’m tired of keeping quiet all this time, but…
    You said that Marisbilly guy got the Holy Grail, right?
    What did he wish for?

    Holmes:
    Unfortunately, Hermes has no record of his wish. It only shows the results.
    According to Hermes, Marisbilly flourished as a magus after the war.
    In the Clock Tower, Chaldea and the Animusphere family’s theories had heretofore been regarded as abstract and impractical.
    But, a string of successes reversed the Animusphere’s fortunes. The Heroic Spirit summoning system was established.
    Virtual experiments were conducted that allowed one to not only observe the future, but to interact with different time periods through rei-shifting.
    Around 2004, Chaldea, previously a mere astronomical observatory, was built into a research facility.

    Conventional reasoning would conclude that Marisbilly wished for prosperity.
    He had no reason to wish for the incineration of the human order. According to documents, his personality was “hard-working.”
    He had ordinary desires, ordinary envy, and he loved ordinary fortune. That’s the kind of man he was.
    In that case, he may have been manipulated by a third party, or perhaps he unintentionally trod on a land mine.

    Mash:
    A third party… Might that be Professor Lev?

    Holmes:
    Lev Reynol was assigned to Chaldea in 1999, coinciding with the technology transfer for Observation Lens Shiva.
    He was a pawn of the King of Magic. There is no doubt about that.
    …This is the part that vexes me most, to be honest. Lev joined Chaldea with an agenda in mind.
    In that case, it would mean that there was a problem at Chaldea before the Holy Grail War in 2004.
    It’s possible that for Marisbilly, the 2004 Holy Grail War was just a career move which had nothing to do with incineration of humanity.
    If true, I hate to admit it, but… It brings up the question of Romani Archiman.
    We are left with an enigma whose activities are unknown, who is unrelated to the case, and who is a trivial nuisance that might as well not exist.

    Sanzang:
    What the heck!? That’s so sketchy!

    1.Sounds just like Roman!
    2.A mystery man that might as well not exist!

    Mash:
    Yes, how very like the Doctor!

    Holmes:
    In my view, he may well be an important player in this case.
    Take caution in what you share with him going forward. He cannot be trusted until his secrets are revealed.
    At the minimum, Romani Archiman knew about the conclusion of the Holy Grail War, and kept that information from you.


    Holmes:
    …Now, that’s all I wanted to know. It’s your turn now. But before that…
    While I was looking through records on Chaldea, I found an answer for Miss Kyrielight.
    I apologize for going off on a tangent, but do you mind?

    Mash:
    An answer for me…?
    Oh, do you mean what we talked about earlier? The true name of the Heroic Spirit that granted me powers?

    Holmes:
    Indeed I do! I suspected the truth, but held back because I had no proof…
    But now I can tell you with confidence. Are you ready to hear it, Miss Kyrielight?

    Bedivere:
    Wait. Lady Mash needs to discover that herself. It is not for us to say-

    Holmes:
    No! I will reveal it! Everybody’s figured it out already, anyway!
    Only a fool turns one’s back on the truth. Is Miss Kyrielight a fool?
    Absolutely not! Emphatically not, Sir Bedivere! What are you afraid of, in the first place!?
    So what if nothing changes once she knows her true name? So what if she can’t activate her Noble Phantasm after hearing its name?
    I declare that your misgivings are needless! After all…
    Mash Kyrielight’s spirit is already whole! Her fears will not change whether or not she has a Noble Phantasm!
    Therefore! Even if she cannot use her Noble Phantasm, she will never cease to rise to the occasion!
    She will be brave and fight to the end, for the one thing she believes in!

    Mash:
    [speechless]

    Bedivere:
    [also speechless]

    Holmes:
    …Pardon me. I lost myself in the moment. May I reveal his name now, Miss?
    The name of the Heroic Spirit who bequeathed to you a new destiny, and saved your life.

    Mash:
    …Master, do you mind?

    1.Go ahead.
    2.Too bad Roman isn’t here.

    Mash:
    …Yes. I would have liked for this moment to be a bit more special.

    Please tell me, Mister Holmes. My true name. The name of this shield.

    Holmes:
    Very well. Then, I shall work my way to the truth, as a detective should.
    To begin with, how did Chaldea stabilize its Heroic Spirit summoning system?
    It was thanks to something which gathers Heroic Spirits.
    Once, there was a gathering of heroes. A ritual of oaths, called the Round Table.
    Chaldea processed that holy relic, used it as a summoning catalyst, and buried it within a compound body.
    Do you understand, Mister Gudao? The weapon she wields looks like a shield, yet it is not.
    The first Servant you contracted with would become the foundation upon which many Heroic Spirits would gather.

    1.I knew it, somehow.
    2.It’s totally a Round Shield.

    Holmes:
    A clever pun, to be sure. I applaud Chaldea’s engineers for this feat.
    She holds the core around which the Round Table was built — the sacred Round Shield.

    Hear me, Miss Kyrielight.
    The second Heroic Spirit summoned in 2010 was Chaldea’s only successful Heroic Spirit fusion trial.
    He decried Chaldea’s brutal experiments, but remained in the world to keep his host alive. Then, after the bombing of Chaldea, he entrusted her with all he had.

    Your Heroic Spirit’s name is Galahad.

    He was a sacred knight of the Round Table, and the only knight to succeed in his quest for the Holy Grail.

    Mash:
    Galahad, of the Round Table…

    [Mash falls]

    1.Mash!?
    2.Are you okay!?

    Mash:
    Y-Yes… My legs felt weak, so I sat down…
    But, I don’t feel pain, or surprise.
    I’m just… very happy.
    I finally know the name of the person who believed in me, and saved my life…
    I’m just… so, so happy right now.
    Have I done his name justice…?

    Holmes:
    See, didn’t I tell you? That’s just the sort of girl she is.
    She would never forget her gratitude. Do you think her someone that would be disappointed in her savior?

    Bedivere:
    …Truly, you were right. Galahad chose well.
    Even in a different age, and among a different people, he would surely entrust his legacy to someone like himself.


    Holmes:
    Well, I will leave the awakening of the Noble Phantasm to Mister Gudao.
    Hermes is in poor condition. I believe it only has one search remaining before it loses power.

    …I should apologize, as well.
    I succumbed to the temptation of making it run background searches on the number of unsolved cases left in the world…

    Mash:
    Mister Holmes!?

    Fou:
    Foh!

    Holmes:
    Not to worry, it will function properly one more time. I am a man who never lets the truth escape.
    You need to know about the Lion King’s holy lance Rhongomyniad.
    Of course, I have heard of the artifact before, but this will be my first time learning of its nature.

    Hermes, show us its true value.
    ……
    …I see.

    Mash:
    (Senpai, I think it’s finished searching. Hermes sure is handy.)

    Fou:
    Foh. Foh.

    Holmes:
    Sir Bedivere, how much do you know of the holy lance?

    Bedivere:
    Nothing in detail. The king had several other treasures aside from the holy sword.
    The holy lance Rhongomyniad was one of these. The knights of the Round Table never learned its particular details.
    However, Merlin did refer to it the “Tower of the End.”
    He called it a pillar of light far across the sea to the west of Britain. A tower that stands at the World’s End, beyond the horizon.

    Sanzang:
    A tower? But it’s a spear, right? Both of them are really long… so which one is it?

    Bedivere:
    That is beyond my ken… Master Holmes?

    Holmes:
    There are two holy lances, Miss Sanzang.
    One is a gigantic tower that pierces this world. That is the essence of the holy lance, given form.
    We were told that “the holy lance stands tall.” It actually is a tower, but it is out of human reach.
    After all, it is at the World’s End. Thus, it is eternally distant.
    The Tower stands beyond the world of humans, always watching over it.

    Tawara Touta:
    Hm, a tower with a commanding view reserved for the gods and Buddha, you say?

    Holmes:
    The other lance is in the hands of the Lion King. That one is like a shadow the Tower dropped onto the earth.
    It is like a personal weapon that allows one to wield the powers and Authority of the Tower.

    Mash:
    So the Tower is the main body, and the lance is its remote terminal?

    Holmes:
    A satisfactory example, Miss Kyrielight.
    The Tower stands at the end of the world, and its administrator wields the lance.
    The question is, why does the Tower pierce the planet?
    There is a theory that our world — the human world — is nothing more than one of the textured layers that wrap the surface of the planet, like a carpet.
    To the planet, this is the consciousness of the intelligent lifeforms that reign supreme. In other words, our physical laws.
    The “carpet” that maintains the laws of physics is our world. It is stitched to the planet so that it does not peel away.
    This seems to be the phenomenon called the Tower of the End. It is also not limited to Britain.
    There are multiple such pillars located throughout the world. One is the holy lance in the hands of the Lion King.

    Bedivere:
    So that’s the meaning behind the Tower of the End. The king held such a terrifying relic for years…

    Sanzang:
    It’s like a pagoda that people offer their faith in the Buddha to, right? I get it!
    But what does that have to do with the Holy City? What’s the Lion King planning to do with the Tower?

    Holmes:
    …It’s likely that the Lion King intends to use the holy lance as the Tower.
    The Lion King built the Holy City into a utopia, and gathered selected humans.
    Not merely pure humans, but humans that will perform correctly under any circumstance.
    According to Hermes’ calculations, the holy lance can absorb five hundred souls.
    The Holy City was built atop the Holy Land in a single night. You may think it an impossible feat, but the truth is simple.
    That city is the lance itself. The people brought to the city are meant to be stored within the lance.
    The Lion King claimed that the pure humans would be protected, but the truth is that they’ve been sealed within so that they cannot escape.

    Bedivere:
    Impossible! That city is Camelot. It differs in small ways, but it is the castle of the Round Table.
    It couldn’t possibly be used for such evil ends!

    Mash:
    No, Mister Holmes is right. That isn’t Camelot.
    It’s true that Camelot was a castle built by the fairies. It also appeared in a single night.
    But that… is different. I’ve felt something frightening since I first saw it…
    It’s the outer shell of the holy lance Rhongomyniad. It can’t be something that helps people.

    Bedivere:
    Then… what about the people in the city? Under the king’s protection, are they forced into a life of oppression?

    Holmes:
    It is no matter of life or death. Everyone in the Holy City will be absorbed into the lance.
    The holy lance is similar to the Atlas Institute. It is a shelter, Sir Bedivere.
    Yet, it is no place to live. All within are processed as elements required for good humans.
    Eventually, the Holy City will converge into a single tower. Only a compressed hell awaits those within the tower.
    The people were not gathered to live in a utopia. They were collected as ideal samples of humanity.
    Samples to be overseen by the Lion King for eternity. An example of humanity’s value, to be displayed in a show window.

    Bedivere:
    No!!! This is too disgusting to be the work of humans!

    Sanzang:
    ……

    Tawara Touta:
    …I cannot judge whether the Lion King’s actions are good or evil. The king is protecting her own people. That is without doubt.

    Sanzang:
    Of course it’s wrong! What are you talking about, Touta!?

    Tawara Touta:
    Let me finish! The Holy City will go into the Tower.
    What happens next? It’s obvious. The Holy City will disappear, and so will the Lion King’s army.
    At the very least, the mountain people will no longer fight the Lion King. The Lion King will have shut herself away, along with her ideals.

    Sanzang:
    Oh… I get it. The fighting will end, then. For a while, at least.
    “I will protect only the people of my land.” The Lion King is following that policy all the way through…

    Holmes:
    That would be optimal. I agree with Mister Tawara.
    …That is, if it only went as far as Hermes’ analysis.

    Mash:
    …There’s more to it, isn’t there? The Lion King’s Holy Selection has a deeper meaning to it.

    Holmes:
    Yes. The Lion King will turn the Holy City into the Tower of the End. You all know the implications of that, I’m sure.
    The creation of the Tower will turn its surroundings into the World’s End.
    In exchange for creating a complete world known as the Tower, the world outside of the tower will disappear.
    The Lion King is not only protecting the people of her own country. She intends to discard everything aside from her people.

    And, that destruction has already begun.
    This singularity is an exception among exceptions because it is already a place that exists nowhere in the world.

    Sanzang:
    …Oh. There’s nothing beyond the desert because this era is already cut off from the rest of history…

    Holmes:
    Correct, Miss Sanzang.
    The party who both created this singularity and is now attempting to destroy it has long since ceased to be the King of Magic.
    It is the godlike Lion King, going so far as to sacrifice a cornerstone of the Human Order in the quest to create an ideal city.

    Sanzang:
    ………


    Bedivere:
    Everyone, let us return to the surface. We cannot afford to delay.
    We must gain entrance to the Holy City before the lance is complete, and ascertain the Lion King’s intentions.

    Sanzang:
    I agree with Bedivere. Now we know why the skeleton boss sent us here.
     Let’s hurry and meet up with the other skeleton folks. We need to tell them what we learned.
    …Huh? But why didn’t the boss just tell everyone back then? It would have saved us a lot of time…

    Tawara Touta:
    Gudao needed to come here. Perhaps, to this desert, rather than this academy.
    You can’t always depend on the aid of others. Even the first Old Man of the Mountain can only do so much.
    Gudao still has something to accomplish in this land. That might be why we were really sent here.

    Holmes:
    [laughs]

    Tawara Touta:
    Hm? What’s so funny, detective?

    Holmes:
    Sorry. Was I laughing?
    If so, it’s because your words were so full of implication. I couldn’t contain myself.

    [later. alarms in the tunnels]

    Sanzang:
    Wait, there’s more of them on the way back!?

    Holmes:
    Of course. And this time, they won’t compare to what we’ve faced before.
    Exit is not permitted at Atlas Academy. I said that, remember?
    This will be our final battle in this lost underworld. Fight as wildly as you please!

    [battle]

    Mash:
    Senpai, I can see light at the end of the tunnel! It’s sunlight!

    Bedivere:
    Our return was swift. It’s all thanks to Master Holmes.

    Holmes:
    Elementary, my friends. One cannot rely solely on visual memory when entering the labyrinth.
    One must draw a concrete mental map while traversing the premises.

    1.Impressive, detective!
    2.Thanks, Holmes.

    Holmes:
    Hm. I’m glad I was of help in the end. And this is where we part ways, my friends.

    Mash:
    So… you can’t trust Chaldea after all?

    Holmes:
    Hrm. Chaldea does have its mysteries, but I am after a different quarry.
    Its name is Phantom-
    Ah, well, this isn’t really the time. I shall take my leave here, Mister Gudao.

    First, let me leave you with a problem to think about. It is the simplest question concerning the incineration of the Human Order.
    I’ve been thinking. Why did it originate in the year 2016?

    Mash:
    Eh?

    Holmes:
    Hasn’t anyone else considered the question? The King of Magic incinerated human history itself.
    That’s just it. If he had done it at the start of the Common Era, the world should have ended without you ever being born.
    But he began in 2016. The burning started in 2016, and traced its way into the past.
    It was a flame that sparked in your 2016, and burned from there into the past.
    Why did he do that? I considered the question, and came to one conclusion.

    There must be a reason why the King of Magic had to wait until 2016. Let us suppose, for argument’s sake, that he is located in 1000 B.C.E.
    About 3000 years of history must pass between 1000 B.C.E. and 2016 C.E. And, he needed to burn all of this.
    Do you understand? The King of Magic didn’t destroy merely because he wanted to.
    There was a need to destroy. The conclusion may be the same, but we cannot ignore this distinction.

    1.It isn’t because he hates humanity?
    2.Come to think of it, “indifference” means…

    Holmes:
    Right. Hostility cannot exist alongside indifference.
    …However, this is where my contemplations become troubling. I mean my suspicions about the possible reasons, of course.
     One hypothesis, which I mentioned, is that there is some significance in the length of time between 2016 and the distant past.
    …Another, is that there is something beyond 2016 which even King Solomon could not see.

    Solomon possesses clairvoyance that allows him to peer in to the future.
     If there is something beyond that date which even he couldn’t see…
    1.…Maybe the future never existed to begin with?
    2.What if doesn’t exist because he destroyed it?

    [1] Holmes:
    I arrived at the same conclusion. I pray that we’re wrong.

    [2] Holmes:
    Yes, that is the simplest answer. I hope that’s the case.

    Holmes:
    Well, my friends, I shall take my leave here! The next time we meet, let me think…
    Let it be in a bustling city, rather than a wasteland! I look forward to working together again in a city worthy of London!

    [v] Fate/Apocrypha material - Encyclopedia: Other Side of the World [Others], p.173 [T]

    Reverse Side of the World [Others]
    The place where the evil dragon Fafnir finally arrived at the very end of the novels. The Phantasmal Races, having understood that the Age of the Gods was over, ceded the Earth’s surface to humans and moved to this place. The world where humans currently live (including the laws of physics) is like a fabric that thinly extends across the surface of the planet. Beneath that fabric exist the planet known as “Earth”. On the other hand, the Reverse Side of the World is the world as it was before humans lived there… that is, the fabric of the era where Phantasmal Races strode the land. In other words, the Earth is the bottommost layer of the planet, and it is covered by the “Reverse Side of the World”—the place where the laws of the “world” as it once was reigns, and covering that is the “Present World”.
    In the Reverse Side of the World, the Holy Grail cannot activate its function of “using the Third Sorcery”. In the first place, that function was for the sake of granting Shirou Kotomine’s wish. In other words, it is programmed to target humans, and doesn’t count Phantasmal Races as valid targets.
    Jeanne d’Arc is a Heroic Spirit who, from the start, lost her human body long ago. Because of that, the chances of her reaching the Reverse Side weren’t completely zero… However, that is merely the kind of “not zero” like, as a comparison, somehow managing to pass through a wall with the tunnel effect, but the Throne where Heroic Spirits Exist is cut off from the time axis, so she effectively had an infinite number of attempts to try.

    Rank: EX
    Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm

    Profile
    Goddess of Venus Ishtar, her summer guise.
    She held a grand event after having been impressed by the wild enthusiasm... devotion of people towards summer festivals - truly a goddess-like goddess. Driving the Heavenly Boat Maanna that has been rearranged to a modern style, she is also a kung fu-type goddess who casually, and thrillingly, makes free use of her body.

    “Hey everyone, are you all having a fun time~~!? The best~~?
    Yeah yeah, that’s good, that’s good!
    Please keep at it more and more, until your limit okay~!”

    Just like this, cordially and generously, she blesses all those who gathered on the venue - truly a goddess among goddesses.

    Now, what exactly lies behind that smiling face.

    Level 1 Bond
    Height/Weight: 159cm・47kg
    Source: Ancient Mesopotamian Mythology
    Region: Mesopotamia
    Alignment: Lawful Good  Gender: Female
    As usual, a fickly goddess who does not keep her feet on the ground. Seems that she has a white, high-leg swimsuit underneath that hooded jacket.

    Level 2 Bond
    Describe as freewheeling, elegant and bold, and cruel.
    The same Goddess Ishtar, but by changing into modern clothes, her haughtiness・dreadfulness as a goddess has softened just a little.

    It is only natural for a goddess to have learned one or two forms of hand-to-hand combat... of course that is not the case.
    The reason why Ishtar can move so skillfully is because the body that became her vessel has properly learned both magecraft and martial arts.
    Her battle style at this occasion is the kung fu that said body had learned rearranged into Ishtar’s own style.
    “Uruk Arts! Is there even such a thing?” - such was the comment from a certain king that was sunbathing on top of a ziggurat.

    Level 3 Bond
    "Heavenly Peak-Visiting Rainbow of Venus"
    Rank: EX  Type: Anti-Unit  Range: 0~??
    An Gal Tā Seven Colors.
    Since Maanna has turned into a modern vehicle, the True Name was also converted into a modern style.
    Her style is to enjoy summer with all her might.
    A rainbow Noble Phantasm that is said to convert her happy feelings (acquired by getting merrier while riding on the Maana Scooter and sightseeing various resorts around the globe) into magical power and scattering it across the world’s surface.
    Fair even after changing clothes, the magical power that rains incessantly over the surface turns into glittering stars and bestow damage to enemies.
    The concerned person feels very happy and fabulous, but this is a big nuisance for those on the surface.

    Level 4 Bond

    • Riding: EX

    Capable of fully managing the Heavenly Boat Maanna, Ishtar’s Riding skill is extraordinary, on a whole different level than that of humans.
     Of course, just because it is “extraordinary”, that does not mean it is “better・faster” than humans. At any rate, it is “amazing in many different ways”. An Uruk Drive that no longer cares much about things such as time and space.

    • Shining Water Garments: A

    A skill that changed the Great Crown into a swimsuit.
    The Great Crown was something that would only affect Ishtar herself, but this can be spread throughout the entire party. In exchange, the output is low.

    • Summer Breaker!: A

    A goddess that breaks (in many different ways) the summer.
    A downsized version of Goddess Metamorphosis.

    Level 5 Bond
    The bow that Archer Ishtar uses is the detached prow section of the Heavenly Boat Maanna, but this time, she changed the “oar” section of the Heavenly Boat into a scooter and is employing it as a vehicle. Its outward appearance is just like that of a modern scooter, but its performance is naturally goddess-class. It flies on the sky and even undergoes warp.
    An enigmatic creature is constantly squirming about by Ishtar’s feet, but Ishtar maintains a “no comment” policy in regards to said creature.

    Although she is keeping an eye on the Master that saved Uruk as a hero with a promising future, there are also times when she tilts her head in confusion thinking “how can such a pedestrian become a hero?” She is perceiving him/her as a curious human.
    On this occasion, she employed him/her as a staff member of the Ishtar Cup out of expectations for his/her popularity (having the trust of the Servants), but...?

    Interlude
    Will she ever learn her lesson?

    Summer festival, Ishtar Cup.
    That was a great ceremony for the sake of resurrecting Ishtar’s familiar, the Bull of Heaven Gugalanna.
    After having her reputation completely ruined by losing Gugalanna on the day when a calamity struck the Mesopotamian world, Ishtar probably has been vigilantly waiting for a favorable chance to get revenge.

    And the result is what we see at this time.
    I will say it again. Will she ever learn her lesson?

    The Goddess Ishtar converted the precious ritual tools she secretly borrowed from the treasury of Babylon into a Holy Grail, pasted the texture of Venus over the land of Connacht with its power, and then planned to create Gugalanna once more by having powerful Heroic Spirits offer their gratitude (race) over the earth.
    Remodeling the Ishtar Temple into a giant prana resources accumulation circuit(1) was also a part of this. The Ishtar QPS (Quantum-piece Power System) is a devilish money collection installation that sucks prone not only from people, but also Heroic Spirits, making it her own. The more QP is collected, more Ishtar’s divine rank goes up. That deed is truly that of an evil deity among evil deities.

    (1) probably irrelevant, but the original Japanese text uses the same term for ‘integrated circuit’ here

    アンロック条件:絆レベルを2にすると開放
    自由奔放、優雅で大胆、そして残酷という女神イシュタルだが、現代服になっているため女神としての気位の高さ・怖さはちょっとだけ緩和されている。陽気さと寛大さが普段よりアップし、フレンドリーに。

    女神たるもの、格闘技の一つや二つは修得しているのが当たり前……という訳ではもちろんなく。
    イシュタルがここまで巧みに動けるのは依り代になった肉体が魔術も格闘技もしっかり修得していたからである。
    肉体が修得していたカンフーをイシュタル風にアレンジしたものが今回のバトルスタイル。
    「ウルクアーツ! そういうのもあるのか」

    本人はとてもハッピーかつファビュラスな雰囲気だが、地上はほんと大迷惑。

    ○騎乗:EX
    天舟アマンナを乗りこなすイシュタルの騎乗スキルは人間とは次元の違う、別格のものである。
    無論、『別格』だからといって人間より『上手い・速い』という訳ではない。とにかく『いろんな意味で凄い』のである。時間とか空間とかもうあんまり気にしていないウルクドライブ。

    ○輝ける水の衣:A

    アーチャーのイシュタルが使う弓は天舟マアンナの船首部分を取り外したものであるが、今回は天舟の「櫂」の部分をスクーターに変化させ、乗り物としている。スクーターは現代のスクーターそのものの外見だが、とうぜん、性能は女神クラス。空も飛ぶしワープもする。
    イシュタルの足元には謎の生物がもそもそと動いているが、イシュタルはこの生物に関してはノー・コメントを貫いている。

    ウルクを救ったマスターを将来有望な勇者として目をつけているものの、「なんでこんな平凡なのが勇者になるんだろう?」と首をかしげる事もあるとか。不思議な人間、と捉えている。
    今回はその人望(サーヴァントたちに信頼されている)を見込んで彼/彼女をイシュタルカップのスタッフに雇用するが……?

    懲りるという事を知らないのか。

    夏の祭典、イシュタルカップ。
    それはイシュタルの持つ使い魔・天の牡牛グガランナを復活させる為の大儀式だった。
    メソポタミア世界を襲った災害の日にグガランナを無くし、面目を丸つぶれにされたイシュタルは虎視眈々とリベンジの時を待っていたのだろう。

    そして、その結果が今回のこれである。
    もう一度言うぞ。懲りるという事を知らないのか。

    女神イシュタルはバビロンの蔵からこっそり拝借した貴重な祭具を聖杯に変換し、その力でコノートの土地に金星のテクスチャを張り、力ある英霊たちが大地に感謝を捧げる(レースをする)事でグガランナをもう一度作ろうと目論んだ。
    イシュタル神殿を巨大な魔力リソース集積回路に作り替えたのもその一環。イシュタルQPS(クォンタムピース・パワー・システム)は人々はおろか英霊たちからも魔力を吸い上げ、自らのものとする悪夢の集金装置である。QPが溜まれば溜まるほどイシュタルの神格がアップしていく。その所業、まさに邪神の中の邪神。

    Profile
    The legendary King of Knights who controlled Britain, King Arthur.
    An "if" King Arthur who, after rising as a king, made the holy spear its main weapon instead of the holy sword and governed over Britain.
    Having lost the growth-halt from the holy sword, she grew to a physical age fitting for a king. She became an existence closer to Divine Spirits due to using the holy spear, but since the period of use was just that of ten-odd years, her mental structure・spiritual make-up has not changed too much.

    Level 1 Bond
    Height/Weight: 171cm・57kg?
    Source: Arthurian Legends
    Region: Europe
    Alignment: Lawful Good  Gender: Female
    There are various opinions about the body weight or figure from when she is a Lancer.
    Also, she is always mounting on a horse when a Lancer. At this time, her mount is "Dun Stallion".

    Level 2 Bond
    The Heroic Spirit of a "different possibility" than the regular Artoria.
    Although she takes a human form, she can no longer be called a Human Heroic Spirit. Due to the properties concealed in the holy spear, she has changed・mutated into an existence closer to a Divine Spirit - a goddess if anything.
    While she has turned more rational, more collected than holy sword Artoria, her humanity has not been lost.
    Rather, there are now composure in her choices thanks to becoming an adult, achieving an ideal way of being as a king.

    Level 3 Bond
    This version of her is a Heroic Spirit of Heavens that, at Camlann Hill, gave back the holy spear herself and returned to the land.
    Meanwhile, the Servant "Lion King" (who has the same appearance as her) was not able to die when she was fated to die and, as consequence, ended up becoming a wandering ghost while retaining the holy spear.
    Because the "Lion King" who held onto the holy spear has completely turned into a Divine Spirit, its inner aspects are different from this version of her.

    Level 4 Bond
    "The Spear that Shines in the Far Away"
    Rank: A++  Type: Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm
    Rhongomynyad.
    Holy spear. An anchor of storm that fasten together the planet.
    It has been said that its real form is that of a tower that fasten together the skin of the world. When releasing the True Name, both Rank and classification change.

    Its original power is being limited by thirteen restraints, but nevertheless this is the pillar in the far away that shines to extol the brilliance of the planet.

    Level 5 Bond
    The holy spear Rhongomynyad makes the "pillar of light" that fasten together the outer layer of the world as its main body. Thanks to the existence of the thirteen restraints that are endowed with the same processes as the "the holy sword of the planet that saves the world", this is barely in a condition where it can take shape as a Noble Phantasm.

    Interlude
    She, who was summoned as a Servant in Chaldea, knows the beauty of the world. In order to retrieve the world that shines not in the far away, she will certainly fight together with the Master, wielding all the power she has.

    キャラクター詳細
    ブリテンを統べた伝説の騎士王、アーサー王。
    王として台頭した後、聖剣ではなく聖槍を主武装としたブリテンを統治したアーサー王のイフ。
    聖剣による成長停止はなくなり、王に相応しい肉体年齢まで成長している。聖槍を使っていたので神霊よりの存在になっているが、それも十年ほどの使用期間だったので精神構造・霊子構造はそこまで大きく変化していない。

    ランサー時の体重ないし体型には諸説が存在する。
    また、ランサー時には、必ず馬に騎乗する。今回の乗騎は「ドゥン・スタリオン」。

    アンロック条件:絆レベルを2にすると開放
    通常のアルトリアとは「別の可能性」の英霊。
    人のカタチをしてはいるが、もはや人の英霊とは言えない。聖槍に秘められた性質によって、神霊、強いて言えば女神に近しい存在へと変化・変質している。
    聖剣のアルトリアより合理的、かつ冷静になってはいるが、人間性は失われていない。
    むしろ大人になった分その選択には余裕があり、王としては理想的な在り方になっている。

    アンロック条件:絆レベルを3にすると開放
    この彼女はカムランの丘にて自ら聖槍を返還し、大地に還った天の英霊である。
    しかし彼女と同じ姿をしたサーヴァント「獅子王」は、死する運命の時に死ぬ事ができず、結果、聖槍を持ったまま彷徨う亡霊となってしまった。
    聖槍を持ち続けた「獅子王」は完全に神霊化していた為、この彼女とは内面が異なる。

    『最果てにて輝ける槍』
    ランク:A++  種別:対城宝具
    ロンゴミニアド。
    聖槍。星を繋ぎ止める嵐の錨。
    真実の姿は、世界の表皮を繋ぎとめる塔であるという。真名解放時にはランクと種別が変化する。

    十三の拘束によってその本来の力を制限されてなお、星の輝きをたたえて輝く、最果ての柱───
    聖槍ロンゴミニアドは、世界の表層を繋ぎとめる「光の柱」を本体とする。「世界を救う星の聖剣」と同等のプロセスを有する十三拘束の存在によって、かろうじて宝具としての体を成している状態。

    アンロック条件:「聖槍の騎士王」をクリアすると開放
    サーヴァントとしてカルデアに召喚された彼女は、世界の美しさを知っている。最果てにあらずとも輝く世界を取り戻すために、マスターと共に戦い、持てる力の全てを振るうに違いない。

    [v] Tsukihime Material I - GLOSSARY: Event Storage, p.101

    Event Storage
    An ability of the True Ancestors, the planet's sense of touch. The conceptual and physical storage of things reared on the planet's surface. Every creature that has appeared on the face of the planet——it is something that requisitions textures.

    In terms of Divine Spirits it's an ability on the level of an Authority, but since this an Authority of the planet it is a 'system' rather than a 'skill'. The gravitational sphere that appeared at Arcueid's feet when she had become an Astral Body was of a scale great enough to store the entire planet's texture.

    事象収納
    星の触覚たる真祖の能力。星の地表で育ったモノを概念的、かつ物理的に収納する。惑星の地表に発生したあらゆる創作物———テクスチャーの没収が行われるのだ。
    神霊でいうのなら『権能』レベルの異能だが、惑星が持つ機能なのでスキルというよりシステムである。光体となったアルクの足下に現れた重力圏は地球全土のテクスチャーを収納するだけの規模を持っている。
