Japan

Fuyuki

Setting for Fate/stay night. Probably in western Honshuu, around the Kobe area (if not Kobe itself). Known for its long winters. Close to an airport.

• Miongawa - The river that divides Fuyuki in half.
• Ryuujin Matsuri - A festival celebrating the legend of a traveling monk and the dragon god of Miongawa that rampaged in Fuyuki a long, long, time ago. Used to take place in the fall and the summer, but now is only held in the summer. Using his power (houriki, spiritual power) the monk used incantation and prayer on the dragon god for three days and three nights. At the end of that, he converted the dragon god (more like tricked the simple bloke). The monk joined Ryuudouji later and the dragon god taught juudou to the monks over there to pass the time. None of this probably happened since there have only been a few monks in Ryuudouji historically with that sort of power. The festival isn't exactly that well-known anymore.
• Miyamachou - Suburban area of Fuyuki.
• Intersection - Connects to the shopping street, the school, the northern and southern parts of town, and to the bridge.
• Shopping street
• Koushuuensaikan, Taizan - The only Chinese restaurant in Miyamachou. Run by the mysterious Batsu-san, who like the typical Chinese stereotype in manga, adds -aru at the end of her sentences. Renowned for its spicy food. Really, really, spicy food. Enough to melt somebody's tongue sort of spiciness. Also where Kotomine eats his Ma-poo Dou-fu.
• Edomaeya - A food stand in Miyamachou. Sells taiyaki for 80 yen each. On the other hand, the stores in Verde have a better selection. Popular among the students.
• Antique store - Where Rider works.
• Flower shop - One of the many places where Lancer works.
• Homurabara Gakuen - Private highschool.
• Emiya residence - Located on the northern end (where the Japanese style houses are) of Miyamachou.
• Tohsaka residence - Located on the southern end (where the western style houses are) of Miyamachou. Known throughout the neighborhood for being a haunted house. No, it isn't haunted.
• Matou residence - Located on the southern end (where the western style houses are) of Miyamachou.
• Riverside park - Located by the bridge.
• Fuyuki Bridge
• Shinto - The urban side of Fuyuki.
• Harbor - Lancer's (lost) heaven. Kiritsugu used to leave and come back to Fuyuki using the harbor.
• Fuyuki Station - One hour walk from the Tohsaka residence. Constructed several years ago.
• Semina Apartment - Located in Kurokizaka 4. L-shaped building with only 2 flats on each floor.
• Center Building - The highest building in Fuyuki. Four kilometers away from the bridge.
• Kotomine Church/Fuyuki Church - One hour walk from Miyamachou (Emiya residence). Constructed before WWII. On top of a hill.
• Graveyard - A graveyard for the foreigners that moved into Fuyuki long ago.
• Copenhagen - Where Shirou works. Run by Neko's father. Liquor shop x pub sort of place.
• Fuyuki Central Library - Located in the middle of the Fuyuki citizen's park during the 4th war. Shutters ended up getting wrecked by an Iskandar that decided to take the books out.
• Fuyuki Central Park - A park. Or is supposed to be. Devoid of people. Atmosphere is similar to a Reality Marble. Where the 4th Heaven's Feel ended.
• Fancy Shop - The name of the biggest stuffed animal store in Shinto.
• Verde - Biggest shopping center in town.
• Mount Enzou
• Ryuudouji - 40 minute dash from Emiya residence. Acts as the keystone of the Fuyuki leylines. Can be said to be the heart of the Fuyuki spiritual grounds. Built on top of a fallen leyline.
• Ten no Sakazuki - The massive cavern where the Greater Holy Grail was created. Three kilometers in diameter. Also, the symbol of the contract of Angra Mainyu. The location of the Black Holy Grail. Has properties similar to a bounded barrier.
• Outer forest - One hour drive by taxi from Shinto.
• Einzbern Castle - Four hours from the entrance of the forest by foot.

Shikura

DDD setting. Located in western Japan.

• Water tank - Unmarked on the map and located in a forest outside of Shikura. Looks sort of like a spaceship. Underneath it is Kaie's room.
• Mikishiro Suisan Shikura 2nd Factory - An abandoned (more like unfinished) can factory.

Origa Memorial Institute

A national hospital and the one and the ultimate treatment center for those with Agonist Disorder. Those with Agonist Disorders are transported to this hospital after being taken into custody by the government.
Blocked off by a concrete wall, even at the 10 meter tall glass entrance of the hospital. Incoming and outgoing patients come and go by helicopter. Said to be located in western Japan and is some 3 hours away from Shikura by helicopter/car.
Doesn't take outpatients; if you come there, you're going to be staying there for a while. In that sense, it's more like an asylum. Made up of a large compound and 5 wards (A, B, C, D specifically for those with A Disorder) and relatively small number of staff in comparison to the size (only in the hundreds).
Patients in each ward are allowed to move only to the adjacent wards and only according to allotted free time.

Those in Ward A are those with tumors and no new parts (abilities) or those normal people who just happened to be harmed by those with Agonist Disorder and bear some after-effects. Basically the same as regular hospital life, excluding a limit to free time and lack of outcoming patients. Three examinations a day and optional communication with other patients. Around some 20 A ward patients.

Ward B has the most number of patients. Mainly those who have become comparatively mentally stabilized and whose treatment is just barely realistically possible. Basically the people who probably will be allowed to get surgery. Treatment is basically at a level where excision of tumor = won't die. Whether surgery is commenced with depends on whether an accurate surgical method is discovered. Problem being however that the symptoms are different so research into that field to develop a generally effective practice is slow.

Ward C are where those who are popularly called "demon possessed" reside, of course, their conditions have stabilized. Oddly enough, they're less dangerous than those in Ward B since these ones have been emotionally shattered and will not leave their wards. Those allowed free action have already stabilized so they won't go violent; but the result is that it looks like a prison-like abandoned ward since patients whose bodies have mutated won't leaving their rooms, even if they are emotionally peaceful.

Ward D can best be described as being abandoned, if Ward C were to be described to be a prison. Security (equipped openly with submachine guns) and doctors can only be found in the entrance. Left dark since many of the patients are fearful of light. Basically made up of those patients in the terminal stage. Treatment, excission are impossible. Matured bodies. Around 30 people that are alive in there and about 40 bodies are "currently in" the room. A steel corridor maze complete with layers and layers of steel gates.

Misaki

Tsukihime setting.

Elsewhere

Taima

Closed off compared to the Association. Generally does not interfere unless their territory is encroached on. Post-reactive rather than pre-reactive. Not on good terms with the Association. Essentially a you don't bother me, I don't bother you type of relationship. Logistically, it would take 6 days for one group of enforcers from the Association to arrive and two additional days to negotiate with this organization to get clearance for landing.

Saeki Group

Financial group headed by the Saeki half-blood line. Taken over by Tohno Makihisa following the death of the Saeki head.

???

An organization that takes in orphans and trains them in just one technique to be used as emotionless assassins. Training facility, or "house" as Kuzuki calls it, is a 10-square-meter bloc of forest located in the mountains. The actual building of the people making use of them is separated from the forest and pure white, unlike the rumors going around of it being a hell populated by Oni. Another separate building is used for disposal purposes. Children are given some degree of education in the event that outsiders may stumble onto them. Kuzuki Souichirou was a "product" of this organization. What makes this organization different from others is that their products are meant to be one-use disposable goods. The assassin is expected to kill himself after completing the mission. Those children who had their doubts about their training "disappeared". Defective products taken apart while still alive because they didn't do as they were told, examples made of those that embarrassed the adults and have their brains moved into animals, water tanks stuffed with children to serve as a diversion. The people in charge value money; a killer they invested 20,000,000 yen (the amount spent on raising and training Kuzuki) on is expected to do a 20,000,000 yen job and then drop dead. No matter how gifted the product might be, they don't care. Mass production at its worst.

Europe

Mage Association

The self-defensive group created by those who seek to learn thaumaturgy, without concern for nationality or genre for the purpose of controlling, concealing, and developing thaumaturgy. At least, just on paper.
As an organization concerned strictly with the concealment and development of thaumaturgy, they are in possession of research bodies for the further development and laws for the prevention of crimes done through thaumaturgy. While their emphasis is on the pursuit of knowledge, the Association also has the military might to protect itself against those organizations that threaten them, be it the Church, other magi conclaves, and otherworldly forces seeking to punish mankind for breaking into areas best left untouched.

Of course, while there are laws governing the use of thaumaturgy, the Association itself isn't concerned with whatever crimes those under its roof may commit. Instead, their primary concern is the prevention of the public discovering their existence. In other words, as long as the maniac doesn't let out the existence of thaumaturgy by blunder, the Association will not move to punish him.

Currently, broken up into three main branches that have gradually drifted apart from each other since the Clock Tower became the headquarters of the Association.

Clock Tower

• Norwich student dormitory. After a certain fight (the worst incident to have ever occurred in the history of the dormitory, according to receptionist Octavia Leyland), Luvia and Rin have been prohibited from entering. Spell-use is of course, forbidden within the dormitory.
• Departments are also located in the British Museum.
• Universal Research Department that Alba, Touko, and Araya belonged to. Broadly covers all worldwide and historical matters. Can be said to be characteristic of the Association's 2 way division of modern magi.
• Department of Evocation (titled Eulyphis if one were to go by the kana; bringing a spirit down to the earth (Necromancy). Note that Merem's Demonition falls into this branch.), Department of Channeling, and Department of Mineralogy also exist in the Clock Tower.
• Runes as well as shamanism are not very popular subjects within the Association.
• Not too many Asians in the Clock Tower. Probably goes for the rest of the Association too.
• Not a very friendly place. While they try to appeal to people on the outsiders, once you get in things get a bit ugly. Constant power struggles between factions.
• Over 300 people attended Rin's trial in London. Many of the attendees were those straggling magi who wanted to gain favor with the powerful. More like a parade.
• The sealing agents of the Association, the equivalent of the Executors of the Church, are generally looked down upon.
• The three big (potential) disasters in the Association: 1. Gazamy the Wraith, 2. Sealing designations, 3. Those who enforce sealing designations.
• Around 7 different tiers/levels/rankings. Around the top is Grand. Lord El-Melloi II is stuck at around 4. Sajou Ayaka is at 7 and is supposed to be a newbie.
• Ruled by the Lords, the controlling tier.
• The workshops themselves (which can really be described as dungeons) are mainly underground.
• Rin even after just enrolling was looking around to reserve a lab, which probably means that most or at least a lot of students will be starting their own independent work reasonably early.
• Discrimination against Asians is fairly common.
• Normally an examination has to be taken to enter. However, letters of recommendation and recognition as the successor of a major lineage (in other words a respectable magus) can bypass this. Said invited magus receives a decent one person room and of course, would be allowed to bring one or two apprentices (or rather butler/servant/maid/etc) without any conditions. Said apprentice won't have to take the examinations or pay for enrollment, but they won't be considered a member of the Association.

Atlas

• AKA, the Giant's Pit.
• Located in the Egyptian mountains.
• Unlike alchemists of the Medieval Ages, they are more concerned with the greater truth of the world, the transmigration/conversion of phenomena.
• On extremely bad terms with the Praha Association and also disliked by the heart of the Mage Association, the Clock Tower.
• In order to avoid an "apocalypse" proven by the first director, the alchemists of Atlas are said to continuously create and dispose of weapons to combat it. "Lift not the seal of Atlas lest ye wish to not have the world destroyed seven times over" is a saying of the alchemists of Praha because the weapons made to save the world would only be tools that would turn this planet into a even more wretched wasteland.
• The Three Great Branches does sound good on paper, but Atlas is really just an independent think tank. On occasion, they have also lent their alchemists at the request of other associations and the Sacred Church.
• To rent an Atlas alchemist, one of the seven contracts that Atlas had printed in the past are required; the primary goal of the Atlas Institute is to retrieve these contract documents.
• The director of Atlas is given the name of Atlasia.
• Kurokiri Satsuki came from Atlas.

Sea of Estray

The Wandering Tomb. A plurality of associations spread throughout northern Europe. The "original Association". Nrvnqsr had come from the Sea of Estray. The following may be part of the Sea of Estray circle or less organizations within the greater body of the Mage Association.

Sponheim Abbey

A part of the Sea of Estray chain? An organization affiliated with the Clock Tower. Alba was supposed to be its next director.

Praha Association

A part of the Sea of Estray chain? Another group that encourages the study of alchemy. Classical alchemists. On VERY bad terms with Atlas.

Thule Society

A part of the Sea of Estray chain? An organization with the original runic scripts.

General

• There are different rankings for magi in the Association. Touko is among the youngest to have risen up to Master class (not related to the Fate/Stay Night Masters) during her 20s. Kurokiri Satsuki is the youngest at the age of 15 in the Atlas Institute.
• Was formed back in the Middle Ages by those that foresaw the decline of magic. To prevent that they made sure to manipulate society so that mystical phenomena that anyone can see became mystical phenomena that no one knew about. The result was that these mysteries gradually faded away from society. In other words, they kept magic hidden away from normal people in order to preserve their power. If a magus involved a normal person in a thaumaturgic phenomenon, then an assassin would be sent to kill that magus. Even in the academy, spell casting is rarely performed. There are a lot of people that disagree with this and set up shop outside of the academy, but the academy happens to have possession of the greatest spiritual lands and written materials. The real reason why the Association is concerned with keeping thaumaturgy a secret is to prevent the decline of thaumaturgy.
• Colors used to designate extraordinary magi. The ones who receive one of the three primary colors (Red, Green, Blue) are recognized to be among the greatest of the era.
• Noble Colors used to designate natural special talents. Mainly for those with Mystic Eyes. Rider's eyes of petrification fall under the category of "Jewel" which surpasses the "Gold" of the greatest vampires. "Rainbow", a mixture of colors like a kaleidoscope, is even greater than "Jewel" and is the sign of the Crimson Moon. Shiki's eyes also fall under the Noble Color designations.
• Recognized elemental alignments within the Association: two systems of 5 elements. Earth, water, fire, wind, air (AKA emptiness) or wood, fire, soil, metal, water. Fire, in the Association, is called normal. Wind is called noble. A user of the 5 great elements is given the title Average One. The 5th element of the first group is probably Ether.
• Not on good terms with the organizations in the Middle East and Asia. Currently "adopting" a non-aggression stance with each other.
• Magi low on money often sell their own sperm to the Association for cash. Seriously.
• Headed by snotty nobles, the lords (who will also sponsor individual magi/houses within the Association at times).
• While there is a treaty of non-aggression among the Church and the Association, unrecorded conflicts and battles occur between the two often. The Atlas branch has a different relationship with the Church.
• Leaving the Association is generally up to the individual magus. There are no restrictions concerning this...unless you happen to be sealing designated. However, it makes more sense to work within the Association because of the massive amount of resources that are available.
• Magi rarely share the results of their results with others.

Sacred Church

The darker side of one of the large "universal" religions, the largest organization in the world, and the greatest enemy of those that have fallen outside of the category of "human".

Those who preach the words of God do not recognize those who go against his teachings.

"Heretics" are not dealt with on the public side of the religion, but there were those fanatics that viciously rejected them.

The term for the colossal department of these "inquisitors" is what is called the Sacred Church, an organization made up of the demon exterminating Executors and exist only for the sole function of eradicating all heretics and properly controlling those mysteries that go beyond human understanding.

It goes without saying that the relations of the Sacred Church and the Association, another organization known for concealing thaumaturgy, are dismal. Until now, both sides had crossed blades with each other time and time again. However, a treaty has been signed currently and a transient end to hostilities is being advocated. On the other hand, that's more a less an end to "open" hostilities.

Of course, their greatest enemy are the so-called "vampires" and on occasion, the Church has been known to cooperate with the Association.

The forces at disposal of the Sacred Church are the Executors (elite commandos), the Chivalric Orders (the knights of each separate church), and the Burial Agency (the monsters that the headquarters of the organization keeps hidden).

The Assembly of the 8th Sacrament

The heretic inquisitors of the Sacred Church. Not demon exorcists, but demon killers.

Their God is the one absolute; that which is supreme and that which is all. The Holy Spirit; the creator of a perfect world.

It was impossible for Him to allow the existence of the demonic to violate His own children, to defile the world He created.

But it is a fact that the demonic do exist, corrupting man and defiling the world. That which ought not be, taints the world of God.

And so, they reasoned as such. That is. Even these corruptors of man, these demons, are a vital part of the world the Lord constructed; one of His precious creations. In their doctrine, demons are the messengers of heaven. If it is the work of the holy to strengthen the goodness of man, then what strengthens the evil of man is the demonic; that is all there is to it. These are the messengers of heaven. A priest teaching the words of God has no right to destroy them. But.

Let it be said again. Demons exist and defile man and the land, playing out miserable tragedies and comedies beyond the reasoning of man.

The calculations of heaven had sometimes made man mistake this as the powerlessness of heaven. They sought a miracle from their Lord in the incomprehendable work of the demonic.

And such, exceptions were born. Followers that did not teach the words of the Lord, but act as the representatives of God, his Executors, despite being mere mortals.

Trials that should have only been watched. Heretics that should have only been denied. Those who arm themselves with the 8th sacrament, that should not have even existed; the demonry extermating organization established by the 120th Cardinal.

They dispel the demonic and hunt what does not exist not in the teachings of their Lord. Those who hunt that which is not in their doctrine can not be held back by doctrine. This in short, the permit to stray away from the rules of their religion. The one thing to be protected: the name of the All Mighty. And to do that, they will annihilate even his own demonic creations. That is the one point that distinguishes them from exorcists.

Different types exist among them: those specialized and geared for magus hunting, demon killing, or vampire slaying and whatnot.

• Exorcists - Those special kinds of priests charged as "representatives" by the bishop of a diocese. A type of Executor, not geared for heretic hunting. Those that answer pleas for help and visit those towns to exorcise demons. While the mere likes of humans are no match for a mature demon, the real problem for the visiting exorcists is the protection of the soul; an experience of demon exorcism is said to be one that a person cannot withstand once again. As a result, iron faith is more sought after than physical prowess. Exorcists don't fear demons. What they fear is the breaking of their will.

The Burial Agency

A group of executors within the Sacred Church even more expert for inquisitions. The experts of the experts. Not exorcists, but demon killers.

A body operating entirely on ability; anyone who has power and will wipe out those things that are "inconvenient" for the Church can become a member. Faith is secondary. The department requires power only for the eradication of heretics.... They'll also baptize you and give you some nice perks if you join, or so they say.

Made up of 7 members including Narbareck and 1 reserve member for a total
of 8. Ranges from a guy that has a preference for using sacrilegious (just in public!) thaumaturgy, another one who makes slaves out of the heretics he's captured, to a modern weapons geek, a freak that gets turned on by killing, and a whole bunch of wonderful entertaining fellows. Each will work alone and will not cooperate with other similar foreign organizations.

1. Ciel - #7. The only one among them that uses small arms. Main reasons for being selected as a member were immortality and thaumaturgy; physical skills are also superb, however, there's only so much that can be done with pure physical martial arts, hence not adequate to deal with threats requiring anti-fortress counter measures. Not nearly as attractive anymore without immortality; but still tough enough to make killing difficult - best way of ensuring death is destruction of the brain - ie the part of the body that control circuits.

2. Narbareck - #1? Loves killing; probably the aforementioned person that gets turned on by killing. Shut (a form of incarcerating her really) in the executive room of the agency for that same reason. The big gun holding the reigns of the freak squad, the Burial Agency. Infamy has reached even the Association. While quite a young woman, this is a monster that's already captured 3 of the 27 Ancestors.

3. Merem Solomon - #5. One of the 27 Ancestors. He who has the name of other name of Crown. A collector of treasures from all ages all around the world. Really joined the agency because he wanted to be near the treasures that the Church sealed. Originally a divine child (planet terminal) that could communicate with animals and materialize the wishes of others. His arms and legs were wrenched off and was worshiped, preventing him from ever leaving the village. Severing his limbs was partially due to the their religious belief that a divine child must not have the form of a mortal, and simply, to prevent such a convenient tool from running away. Circumstances are similar to Angra Mainyu, however, unlike Angra, Merem really was a [http://fuyuki.pbwiki.com/Concept#Breathing]|divine child]. Merem would have been destined to end his life as the plaything of the villagers, but he was then noticed by coincidence by the Crimson Moon. Thinking in amusement of "the power to put into form the wishes of man", he declared to the villagers that at dawn, he would slaughter all of them. "Kill me with your wishes if you wish to live," he said, to start the game.

The villagers' wishes to "not die" were ugly and powerful. Without caring about the burden on the one executing this, the villagers imagined "convenient divine beasts" one after another, challenging the Crimson Moon.

Needless to say, there was no way those kinds of things would match up to the Crimson Moon.

There was no end to the wish of the villagers, but just some time until dawn would come, Merem reached his limit and died. The remaining villagers died while cursing the name of Merem and the Crimson Moon.

...Afterwards.
When the sun rose onto the horizon, the Crimson Moon revived Merem as an Apostle.

"Amusing; you may live as you wish. You have drawn many of what would replace your arms and legs, have you not? The wishes they were based on were grotesque, but the aspects made by you were masterpieces. With such idols, I feel it fitting for them to bear your limbs."

Enchanted by the words of the Crimson Moon, Merem imagined 4 idols from the temple built by the religion of the villagers, added to them the power to be his limbs on to them, and for the first time, stood on the ground.

Since then, he bore feelings towards the Crimson Moon similar to adoration, and became a Dead Apostle vowing allegiance to only the Crimson Moon - Brunestud.

He had hid himself after the 27 Ancestors broke off from the True Ancestors and the collapse of the Crimson Moon, but for reasons unknown, he affiliated himself with their enemy, the Sacred Church.

4. Mr. Dawn - #6 (tentative). An exorcist of the Sacred Church, a driver using a 30-ton class trailer as transportation, and Mr. Useless of the Buriers. No Executor sacraments, abnormal abilities, nor any knowledge of thaumaturgy. When a partner is recruited, both of them will officially become #6. Main role (at least in the case of the trip to Aylesbury in Tsukihime 2) is to transport another exorcist that is "somewhat prone to become unethical". Dawn has no means of attack or self defense, so the exorcist work is entirely being done by the "other "exorcist" he's transporting. Face may seem dangerous, but he's the mild and charming sort. Looks not so much like an exorcist but a school teacher. Of course, according to him, he doesn't have the qualifications to teach others, so, for him, apparently it should be happiness for anybody to live it the calm, easygoing way by oneself. A quiet pacifist. While agreeing to go to the Aylesbury war zone, he himself isn't carrying weapons even for his own self defense. Uncomfortable with blood and violence, and even horror movies. Since he tends to panic and get in the way the moment he sees a slaughter scene caused by heretics, he's feared by the Executors as "the absolute #1 person we ever want to be with on a mission." Originally the V&V Industry Sixth R&D Division Manager. An elite among elites as an engineer, but due to a certain incident, he resigned from V&V and was scouted by the Burial Agency Director Narbareck because of his accomplishment in solving that incident (in said incident, he lost the ability to recognize his own name - Dawn is not his true name). Then again, mentally, as a believer he's just somewhat below the average. Faith is of the level where he lets the Bible sleep in the drawer of a desk and that hasn't changed since that incident. A valuable type of exorcist, and currently, under one particular condition, it's said that there are no other exorcists that could replace him. According to the revelations of the prophecy of the Virgin Mary, in his life time, he will perform 3 exorcisms. The one man in the Church that exorcised a fully matured demon from a person.

The privileges they gained are powerful and at times they'll go against the wishes of the Church to eliminate heretics. Be it a bishop, as long as he has a demon inside of him, they'll skewer him in a flash. There are no times when their actions are not accorded ex-post-facto approval. Of course it's understandable why this agency is being whispered to be heresy within the Church. Trouble-makers, to put it simply.

El Nahat is also "cooperating" with the agency; forcefully it seems but there might be some other motives involved, although text seems to indicate that he's being stored and used in the same sense as an item would. Special ability of almost always purging an opponent in a one on one battle, but would also result in destruction of one's on body. Regeneration from that supposed takes some tens of years; currently "sealed". His "Book of the Stomach World" is being kept as an anti-Apostle trump card of the agency.
According to Tsukihime Lab:
1. Sealed in a prison of mirrors; he himself or his powers may have some relation to doppelgangers.
2. "Book of the Stomach World", which is made from his stomach, is said to act as a summoning terminal for his main body. Can be carried and used in battle by #1 or #2 in the agency.

Organization was founded by the original Roa and entrusted to the Narbareck of that era under the name of the Burial Classroom.

Chivalric Orders

The main military body of each church. The knights. One of the few groups that still use halberds, but use of it is dying out.

Citeaux Abbey

The abbey Caren Hortensia was admitted to. Unlike the others in the abbey, Caren was permitted to leave on errands pertaining to exorcising. This is mainly just a normal abbey, btw.

Aylesbury

Site of the ritual of Tsukihime 2. A village located in England.

Trhvmn Ortenrosse

The White Wing Lord. One of the 6 crowns and one of the oldest of the Apostles. #17 of the 27 Ancestors. One who turned from a magus into a vampire and the first servant of the Crimson Moon.
An archetypical vampire and the present king of the Apostles. The Apostle representing the 27 Ancestors and has the greatest political voice if only in form.
The Dead Apostle that proposed the True Ancestor hunt and the man who created the cause of Nrvnqsr's death in the Far East.
Despises the ancient reigning True Ancestors, but shows deference to the one and absolute True Apostle, Brunestud. However....

Austria

Home of Gransurg Blackmore.

Gransurg Blackmore

The Black Wing Lord. A Dead Apostle Ancestor living in Austria. True name unknown. Destroyed his birthplace and name at the end of many long years. Gransurg, Blackmore, both are nothing more than nicknames that came from what he is.

A social and great vampire that has many minions and that would bring to any great ritual....Though, he's hopelessly alienated from the other Ancestors. Those humans bitten by a vampire and having blood sent in become vampires. But in Blackmore's case, those humans who have had their blood sucked all mutate into monsters with bird heads and wings. The other Ancestors look down on Blackmore because he doesn't hold a human-like form and because of the lack of grace of his birdman chimera minions. (Though in Blackmore's words, the other Apostles are the ones lacking in grace the moment they retain their human appearance.)

The title of Black Wing Lord came from sarcasm and is meant to put him in contrast him with the White Wing Lord, the current King of the Apostles.

A black winged beast master, that's close yet far from the first lofty emperor of the white wing.....would be the treatment of Blackmore in the world of the Apostles.

On the other hand, as he is an Apostle having ability and history equal to the White Wing Lord, the only ones who can get away with making sarcastic remarks face to face with him would be only the top-class of the 27 Ancestors.

Originally a magus that had seen birds as holy creatures. Adored the form and internal composition of birds and praised that they themselves were the kings of this star. For their sake, he lived to build them a sky even easier to live in. In the world of the magi, birds were treated as "those who carry the souls after death". Despite how eccentric his ideas may be, Gransurg, who based his thaumaturgical system on birds, was an excellent soul carrier.

However. That eccentricity was first spotted by the Crimson Moon. Gransurg was challenged to battle out of amusement and was defeated.

Gransurg, whose thaumaturgy was average and had no unique blood or any other factors to make him stand out was easily killed...or would have been killed, but he was saved by a last minute coincidence.

The Crimson Moon allowed that coincidence to be and let Gransurg go without using him as a blood bag, but commanded to him to be his personal magus from hereon.

Gransurg, who as a man, believed in the decorum of the broken, pledged sincere loyalty to the Crimson Moon, and chose to move on his own path towards becoming a Dead Apostle. He became a vampire at the culmination of his arcane research.
"If I am to serve my Lord, I shall take on an fitting appearance". And thus, he gave himself the form of a bird. Back when he had served the Crimson Moon, he was more or less his familiar rather than an Apostle, and had worked very diligently for the sake of the Crimson Moon.

He had continued to serve the Crimson Moon after the 27 Ancestors broke from the True Ancestors, but when the Crimson Moon was evaporated by Zelretch, he became independent as an Apostle, taking the position of 16 from an Ancestor he destroyed.

Gransurg does not like conflict. If he ever produces a war zone, it will only be to correct those Apostles that have forgotten the teachings of their "Lord", or to follow the wishes of that "Lord". Therefore, no matter how much he may hate another Apostle, he won't fight them.

While Merem cooperates with the Church, Gransurg does the same with the Association. Also, in the top class of the monsters appearing in Tsukihime 2.

Other

Middle East

Not on good terms with the Association. One of Rin's options on places to run away to if deemed guilty during her trial in London. Curses, witchcraft, and the like are much more advanced than what the Association's.

China

Source of the system used in Japan. Not on good terms with the Association.

"A certain continent"

Wiped out by a counter-force. Probably Atlantis.

South America

Home of ORT. Also, one of the few places with treasures that Arcueid hasn't yet built up resistence too.

Monaco

Home of Valery Fernand Vandelstam, #14 of the 27 Ancestors. Better known as Van Fem, the Puppet Master, Dark Lord of the Business World. Creator of the 7 Great Golems and one of the 3 oldest Apostles. A odd fellow (even among the 27) that had interest in human society and thus took a shot at growing his power base without doing things the vampire way since the end of the World War I. Set up a building in Monte Carlo and takes challenges once a week on his casino boat. Should normally be participating in the Aylesbury ritual but apparently he's been putting off his responsibilities because he's having too much fun on his casino boat. Doesn't get along with the White Wing Lord as he's too old fashioned.

Australia

Future target of Tatari 30 years later.

Off the map

• Astral plane - The information body of the world. The Unified Language operates through the astral plane. Also where the soul is found. Not so much a place, but a "concept". Not the Root itself, but close to it.
• Throne of Heroes - Exists outside of time and space. The place where souls that have been removed from the cycle of transmigration "reside" (more like stored). A deeper part of the astral plane? Once you become a hero, this is where you stay. Forever. Not going to be freed. Ever. Stuck there. No parties, no fights. No meeting other heroes in said throne. The end. You're dead, but you're not really gone. Just stuck in one little "room" with "books".
