    No matter how Servants are summoned, does the Master always have Command Seals, even if no Grail is involved?

    No, since its implied that with Fuyuki's that the first war didn't have them and Zouken had to program that function in.

    Ah, I can't believe I forgot that detail.

    EDIT: Also, since Achilles gave Astolfo Akhileus Cosmos in Apo, does that mean Servants can freely give each other NPs if they so wish?

    Nope

    There are some special circumstances at play there due to Astolfo's legend having him use other's weapons or something, I forget the exact reasoning

    It was a convergence of Astolfo having legends of using other people's weapons and Achilles having a legend of giving his own weapons away.

    Thanks guys. Also, how did both of them know of their legends' convergence, if they even did?

    They knew who each other was, but if I had to bet money it would be on one or both of them thinking "yeah, it'll probably work out somehow" rather than any conscious manipulation.

    What are Excalibur Galatine's powers on its own? Numeral of the Saint is tied to Gawain, but I've heard in legend that the blade itself was also boosted by the Sun? Is this true or not?

    According to Extra mats the sword's power and sharpness are greatest at noon, so that part seems to be correct.

    Ah, so Gawain gets 2 boosts at noon. No wonder he's considered OP under the sun.

    In the Nasuverse, who was the "King of Gods" in the Mesopotamian pantheon? Enlil or Marduk?
    The Act of dozing off in the afternoon is a luxury indeed.
    Coffee would be nice, though.

    Fun fact: Merodach is a corruption of Marduk.

    Hence the name of the blade.

    Yes. It was the prototype of Gram, which was the prototype of Caliburn.

    Anu's the supreme king of heaven. Ishtar is Queen of Heaven

    Marduk is the leader of the god against Tiamat. He was a young god but after he lead the god to defeat Tiamat, he became the Chief God. So basically he's Sumerian Zeus, while Anu's basically Uranus

    I see, so that's why Ishtar went crying to Anu about the Gugalanna debacle. Thanks for answering.

    And that makes sense regarding Marduk, I was confused since they only said the younger gods rebelled against Tiamat with no specific individual leading them.
