    Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
    Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
    The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
    Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.

    She united the discouraged knights. But yeah, she supposedly did it with Morgan's aid as well.

    Named regent and acted as such. It's objectively incorrect to say she never ruled.

    By your logic the only valid choices in the list are Gilgamesh, Ozymandias, Caligula and Nero because they're the ones that didn't collapse their country.

    And of those ones clearly Oz is the best choice.

    She ran Camelot and Britain while Arturia was out killing a shitton of peasants because literally no one else was able to do paperwork or manage people.

    Mordred's mother - in other words, King Arthur's sister Morgan - is said to have attempted at bringing down the King and having Mordred take over the throne, and had been as powerful a magus as Merlin. Given Saber's comment, Assassin must be quite the plotter as well.


    "...However it may go, be sure to keep your distance from her."

    Shishigou reached the end of the stairs and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Still, he made Saber confirm that there was no presence of any Servants nearby.
    I put supposedly cuz its not said either way. But yeah first Mordred says 'I hope we won't meet our end to soon without suspecting anything' and then Shishigou thinks about that. So I think its implied.

    Unseemly aren't I? How have you forgotten how to smile, how to love?
    No matter how hurt, how hated, that smile must not be extinguished.
    After all, isn't that the duty of a Queen? Even in her last moments...
    So, let's be brilliant. Let's smile: for everyone. For the country. For the world.

    Mordred's flashback says that Mordred immediately nixed the attempt upon first seeing Arthur and told Morgan to GTFO.

    According to the flashback Mordred spent a while as a super loyal knight, but proceeded to get super pissed when Arthur didn't acknowledge Mordred as his son and proceeded to burn the country to the ground and lead a rebellion just to ruin everything Arthur ever did.

    So, you know, by a certain definition of "nothing wrong".

    Point is that Morgan isn't mentioned to have an active role in said rebellion.

    Quite.

    My knowledge is imperfect, as I've already said, but I do believe that the general gist of things is that Morgan brought Mordred up to hate and despise Arthur, and expected things to eventually fall into place without her having to give any direct input.

    Well. I guess she was right.
    My attempts at being a (fanfic) writer:

    Eclipse - a Saber Alter oneshot
    Requiem for a Race - Altrouge and Ortenrosse hunt the TAs ( 1/3 chapters, discontinued )
    Memories of a King - a 'Saber Origins' story ( 8/? chapters, discontiuned )
    A Small Warmth - a post UBW-Good oneshot, Saber/Rin
    Devil's Thrill - Narbareck hunts down a DAA Blackmore ( 10/10 chapters, finished )
    Boundary of Loneliness - Ryougi Shiki/Alphard Al-Shua oneshot. Lemon-flavoured

    I voted the king under who's rule I would mind living the least. Iskandar it is.

    Whose word should we take on it then, which mention that Morgan had a part in it?

    The entire reason I asked Cruor is because I expected Garden of Avalon to have brought it up.
