Was it ever explained why the Gorgons are vampires? Doesn't sound like something you put on your goddess.

[Ideofago]

I think an answer for that would warrant more research into Greek mithology rather than Nasuverse lore.

Medusa: Mirror dug up from a temple in Eritrea. An item with ties to an old Earth goddess of Greece.

"On top of that, the earth itself has eyes too," my master continued, pointing at the ground.

"The earth?"

"Think of the mouth of a volcano. The image of a bright red eye piercing through the darkness of night is strongly connected to the image of the evil eye. Though not as numerous as gods of the storm, there are cases where these symbols were granted to goddesses of the earth. A famous example of this would be the Gorgon - Medusa, from Greek mythology."

He blew a cloud of smoke.

The room filled with grey smoke reminiscent of a volcano's. Smelling the sulfur of volcanic gases and seeing the bright red glow of lava, was it any wonder ancient people came to fear them as magical eyes of the land?

The symbols of this authority are the holes opening in the earth and the sky (caves and the moon), the whirlpools and typhoons of the sea, the craters of volcanos, and so on, and from these, evils bringing forth all manners of death are birthed.
But once these evils have finished spreading death, they leave the promise of good harvest and fertility. This authority is none other than the power of bringing death as well as giving life.
The earth mother is a guardian deity revered by the people and their protector, and at the same time she is the sacrifice that feeds them with the crops born from her body and the beasts of the fields and the forests.
The earth mother feeds man with her blood and flesh, kills man over time and absorbs him as nutrition, and once again feeds man with her replenished blood and flesh.
This process is the circle of the food chain, and the cycle of life and death can be said to be the true nature of the earth mother. With this authority, most of the goddesses gave birth to countless monsters and giants and posed a threat to the gods and man, or they gave birth to heroes and became protectors of man.

We know incarnated female Servants can get pregnant (Erice's mom) so I see no reason to think incarnated males can't make others pregnant.

Here's a pickle of a follow up question
Servant Medb can ingest blood and pop out soldiers.
Are they spiritual bodies or are the flesh and blood?

[Menwearpink]

Probably as physical as dragon teeth warriors and such.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

I think they're spiritual bodies if they are birthed from a Servant's ether body. If Medb were incarnated, I think it would be a different story.

What's it say just right after Advent Beast at the start of the fight with Vitch?

So here I am, all done with the Tiger Dojos and endings and whatnot. I just finished the Last Episode, and I'm all set to come here to ask some more questions about some things I missed.

But then I go to the gallery and I find this:

Spoiler:

And hopefully you all can see what I have, but in case you can't it's a screenshot of the Gallery. Specifically, of the Heaven's Feel gallery, 3rd page. There's an empty "non displayed picture" right after the CG of Illya in her Dress of Heaven. Which is weird since I thought I went through every path in the game. At first I thought I needed to go through the other Sakura Normal end as well, but when I tried that still nothing. So yeah, would anyone mind pointing me to the right direction? Because it feels like I did do everything short of some awfully specific/obtuse route.

Did you try clicking on the tiger in the list of endings/tiger dojos?

Edit: nvm, it's a known issue with the patch: https://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/2...ng-in-gallery/

You have my thanks.

Aw, never mind. Good job!

Has anyone here read the Fate/Aprocrypha BD Prequel novel?

[Reign]

Do you mean the prequel with Reika and Jack or the sequel with Astolfo? The Astolfo one was the one released with the BD, I think the Reika prequel came out actually before Apo's LNs started.

[Deathhappens]

The "prequel" if you can call it as such was a remnant of the old MMO project stuff, if I recall correctly. I definitely remember reading it before the Apocrypha LN itself was a thing. Dunno anything about Apoc BD extras though.

[Reign]

The Astolfo story that came with the BD was him going around talking to people like a year after the end of the series. Only the first chapter was ever translated, where Fiore has moved to New York with some of the Yggdmillennia homunculi.

Apparently there's a prequel story where Kairi and Jean Rum talk about Touko, as well as divulge some info on her magecraft.

[Reign]

Oh well that's not one I'm aware of. Maybe it came with the other BD volume, the one that didn't have the Astolfo thing.

[All fictions]

I mentioned it way back last year, Kairi and Jean are not just talking about Touko but hunting a Sealing Designee in Brazil. It seems to be a short story that came with the season 1 DVD of the Apo anime.

[Misaya]

Are there any reference for Alice being called "lady of eternity"? I saw that on wiki but couldnt find any lines about that. I am currently looking for some hints about the Witch of eternity in the modern age as Morgan said that Beryl is a descendant of one of them. There is a hint that Francessa was killed by a witch who live forever. Wiki Eng states that it is April but I prefer the idea at wiki JP that the one who kills her is a Meinster like Alice.

Funnily enough, that quote from your post was the same person I saw mention it. Good to know it is true though. There's still so much untranslated stuff in this fandom.

Herc's bio in FGO states that he's one of two great heroes of Greek mythology. Who is the other one?
