England is special because it's an island and Avalon is where the soul of the world is.
Things took longer to shift.

There isn't a specific end of the AOG.
The beginning of the end was Gilgamesh and that decline kept going and going.
Something happened in 700 BC that was irreversible.
And then kept going and going and the actual end depends on your culture.

I see. So in cultures where the old gods were still openly worshipped, the AoG could very well have extended reasonably far into the Common Era?

It's said King Arthur was the last king protecting the age of gods or something. So if you want a H A R D date for EVERYTHING GONE you can't really go wrong 500 AD.
but in my opinion I would think the AOG persisted for extended periods of time in say Australia and countries like that.
But even then there are still remnants of the AOG around the world to this date, eg the pyramids, Stonehenge, ruins of Troy. So it kind of just depends on your definition of the end of the AOG.

Makes sense. I personally believe the latter as well.

Just wondered this on a whim guys, but what do you guys think are the stupidest wishes ever intended for any Holy Grail across all Fate works?

Save mankind from the doom that is coming, depending on the TM work discussed.

Quite literally.

[Deathhappens]

Whatever Fastwheels was going to wish for.

I'd say Waver or Ryuunosuke, but I don't think either of them actually had a wish in mind at all.

Knowing Narita, there's probably someone with a positively absurd wish in Strange Fake I haven't heard about, though. Possibly more than one.

[Menwearpink]

Kayneth didn’t really have a wish no?

I dunno, a wish that doesn’t work because it’s not possible like Kerry’s maybe?

[King of Padoru]

Kayneth just entered so he became more famous in the Mage Association IIRC

[pinetree]

I'm pretty sure we don't even know anyone's wish in FSF except for Haruri and Francesca.

[Iceblade44]

We know Jesters original wish. It was to either activate ORT or Fou I think

I thought it was ORT, and I wouldn't call Jester's wish stupid because he knew exactly what would happen and he was nihilistic enough to actually want it.

[Menwearpink]

He just wanted to do a bit of a jolly good show/fight thing so he can have a story to talk about at parties and such.

And that attitude caused him to die a pitiful death because Kerry didn't play games.

[8000]

Kerry's wish wasn't stupid, just misguided.

Marisbilly's wish was pretty narrowed sighted, but to be fair he didn't want to rely on the grail so that might've been intentional. Same with Waver's, but he might've thought up something else if he had gotten the grail.

[pinetree]

Marisbury had the most sensible wish in the entire series.

[Menwearpink]

You could also say that it’s probably due to Waver also. If he didn’t have Diarmuid I imagine things would have been very different.

I imagine the delivery man with rider’s cloak was fired and blacklisted after his mess up.

[SpoonyViking]

I forget, but what caused Fiore's physical disability - the family's Crest, or her Circuits? Also, did she just transfer the Crest and her position to Caules, or has she stopped living entirely as a magus at the end of Apocrypha?

The stupidest was totally Waver.

"Imma enter this deathmatch to obtain an omnipotent Wish Machine so that people bully me less!"

I imagine things would actually be WORSE with Iskandar because there's no way he would have willingly obeyed Kayneth without Command Seals and significant finagling. Kayneth is exactly the "cowardly", narrow-minded fool he'd despise, and Iskandar would probably malinger. Diarmuid was the BEST Servant Kayneth could have gotten because of how subservient he was.

“I’m not stupid, everyone else is. They just can’t handle me being so great.”

The anime says the latter, but I don't know about the LN.

To be fair, he was aware of his inferiority the whole time, and he ultimately abandoned that line of thought. That, and he had a point in his thesis and Kayneth was an ass of a professor who honestly was even worse.
