The story of Fate/stay night revolves around the main protagonist Shiro- Emiya, a young male high school student. When Shiro- was a child, his father told him how he had failed at his life ambition to become a "Hero of Justice". Shiro- affirms to his foster father that he intends to devote his life to achieving that distant ideal, much to Kiritsugu's chagrin. To do this, Shiro- pleads with a begrudging Kiritsugu to teach him sorcery; but being born without the capabilities of a magus, Shiro- proves to be talentless in almost all the fundamental sorcerous disciplines.
When the story begins, Fuyuki City is the setting for a secret and violent war among competing magi. For the past two centuries, seven sorcerers have gathered and engage in a Battle Royale, each gambling his or her own life to obtain the Holy Grail, a legendary chalice capable of granting wishes. The past four Holy Grail Wars have typically occurred every sixty years, with the most recent concluding a decade ago, but the fifth war has started prematurely.
Each of the sorcerers, better known as Masters, is aided by one of the seven summoned spiritual familiars known as Servants, who are the reincarnations of legendary souls from all across time. These resurrected souls possess superhuman characteristics and wield powerful artifacts or abilities called Noble Phantasms. Only one Servant can be summoned in each war from one of seven classes: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Berserker, Rider, Assassin, and Caster.
