Line 12:
There exists a [[The Lifestream|plane outside of human concepts]], and within there is the Throne of Heroes. Here, the records of the brave men and women whose lives have become legends are kept, to be used as eternal guardians of mankind. [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|The definition of "hero" is broad]] -- [[Protagonist-Centered Morality|even the ruthless and heartless are the heroes of their own tales]].
 
In '''''Fate/stay night''''', when a legend is venerated enough by humanity, they can become a [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|Heroic Spirit that surpasses time itself]]. [[Summoning Ritual|There is a ritual]] where seven Spirits can ally with a Sorcerer MasterMasters via contract and become [[Familiar|Servants]]. This ritual culminates in a [[Melee a Trois|seven-way war]] to acquire the [[MacGuffin|ultimate prize]], the Holy Grail, which can [[Make a Wish|grant the wishes of the Servant and Master who are victorious]]. As [[I Know Your True Name|enemies knowing their true name would give opponents an advantage over them]], it is hidden. Instead, each heroic Servant Spirit is given [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|a Class by which they are addressed]]: [[Meaningful Name|Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, and Assassin]]. In addition, each Servant is armed with the mysteries that symbolize their legend -- [[Infinity+1 Sword|Noble Phantasms, legendary armaments and abilities]].
 
As each Servant falls, the Holy Grail receives their power, [[There Can Only Be One|until only one remains]], and the Grail is ready to grant the winners' wishes. The Holy Grail War that results in this has happened before, with a great cost of human lives, all for that one wish granted by the Grail.
