-----------Things to know about Fate stay night-----------------------
Areas and key places
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
-Areas in Fuyuki -
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--
Located in western Japan.
-Areas within Shikura-
Water tank - Unmarked on the map and located in a forest outside of Shikura. Looks sort of like a spaceship.
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.
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.
