The Synopsis
Every single series has the same goal except for Fate Grand Order but that goal is simply to win the Holy Grail. The same Grail that is famous in history. In this case, the Holy Grail can only bestow one wish for the winner of the Holy Grail War. There are seven people who each have a servant. The seven summoners are called “Masters” and well servants are called “Servants”. In a normal Holy Grail War, there are seven Masters and Servants one from each class which are: Saber, Caster, Assassin, Archer, Berserker, Lancer, and Rider. All Servants are, legend be it, from Arthurian Legends or any Legends. The reason why there was the word normal is that in one of the series, Fate/Apocrypha there are 14 and two warring factions with an arbiter that its own class being Ruler.
