feeling cute, might rewrite the entirety of arcade's story idk
AUTHOR'S NOTES
─── Eradication of humanity, complete.
That is the Human Orders' ■■■.
O' Golden Cup, give to those who still resist, the miracle of resurrection once more.
■■■■■.
Without any warning the surface of the Earth was burned.
The end of Human History.
Every city has crumbled, life has died out, and civilization has disappeared.
The Incineration spread all over the earth, and the earth became a star of death where not even the future could be measured.
The only human beings left behind.
The "Chaldea Human Order Security Organization" left behind in ■■■■■■ set out to resolve this phenomenon using all their remaining supplies.
An abnormal zone that had never been seen in history.
Assuming the cause of the annihilation lied in this distortion of space-time called a Singularity Chaldea dared to perform a Space-time Quantum Observation, a Rayshift.
Threatening human history lies seven cities in seven eras.
A Magus, known as a Master, along with the strongest of familiars - a Servant are sent.
There is also more than one Chaldea on this stage.
The last master of humanity is not alone, and so neither justice nor opinion are one.
─── ■■■■■■, this phenomenon's solution ■■■■■■■■■.
Seven Singularities ■■, and at the last Singularity ■■■■■■■■■.
■■■■■■■■■ the heroic spirits who protect humanity.
And the enemy to defeat is ■■■■■■■■■.
Craving always calls for victory.
Insert obligatory "ONORE ARCADE" here.
With Arcade's final singularity raids going on, I thought I'd go back to 1) distribute plot beats throughout all seven chapters (because apparently FGO's writing team didn't learn their lesson the first time around), 2) mix up the story so it's immediately obvious that it diverges from Mobile's (and hopefully net Sega more gachabux in doing so), and 2.5) as a corollary to 2), show off Servants I think didn't get decent screentime on Mobile.
I should be able to get the first two singularities up either tonight or tomorrow, with the remaining singularities being released on a daily basis after that. Let's hope I survive this ordeal with my sanity intact (lol).
Anyway. Ciao.

Very interesting, I want to read the sheets for each one. Two Back to Back Indian LBs with the depth lowering? Bold move, looking forward to the justification there especially since the 2 would have to be very close & yet for their borders not to touch immediately.
Why do your Lostbelts not have divergence dates? Also I would like to know the key events of the singularities.(I did search the dates & places, my question is just what you wanted to happen there)

The lostbelts don't have divergence dates because I couldn't quite think of them when I wrote this. These are quick synopses. I will write full ones when I get a chance. Oh and thanks for catching Hawaii, I will fix that. What do you think of these concepts?

Hi no Kagetsuki or Hi no Kagutsuchi?
Overall I very much like all of these with some of my favourite ideas being LB=Ireland, Epic Of Moon Cell & China & Inca Singularities. My absolute favourite is A.L.E.T.H.E.I.A.
Your seventh Lostbelt also involves Azathoth like my new Crypter Alvalion Lostbelt. Surprisingly I came up with an idea like Nasu for the same lostbelt, which was the protagonist summons a Ruler who then influences the past changing the Lostbelt itself.
In mine the crypter was also aware of the simulations Wodime went through & learnt how to mess with the Trees from it, including programming them to run a certain Lostbelt, choosing the divergence & landing spot(In fact he was the one that made it land inside the Fuseng Tree so YuMeiren could absorb it in this version instead of the other way around, to become a Galaxy Zhenren even Flashier than Mothman, a mode I named Daughter of Earth to match his Son Of Heaven).
Anyways by summoning Ruler Arturia(A Serious PHH One, not the swimsuit or Lancer, Normal Arturia as a Ruler) & having Avalon, he used Avalon's "beyond time" aspect to interfere with whatever point in time he needed. You can read more in my original postCreate A Singularity / Lostbelt - Page 24
but I only kind of reveal there is that the LB Crypter=Servant as opposed to the PHH=Master Crypter, he is sort of a High Servant having subsumed 3 entities/aspects(Outer, Beast, Grand?) as countermeasures & to obtain the authorities he needs. One of these was Azathoth & he did it because not only because is Azathoth not necessarily "real", might have been brought about by belief, but by the Crypter acting sort of like a Nightmare, after all one does not necessarily have control inside one's dreams unless one is lucid dreaming, so basically the Crypter tricked Azathoth into having a Nightmare in which he was subsumed by someone, followed by then being amicable to Azathoth & allowing Azathoth to have a Champion/Avatar being a part of their own dream without ever waking up. Without much of a personality due to being a fledling weak concept/connection with Alvalion LB & the Crypter's growing power & fame in the LB, the 2 became 1 with Azathoth now believing himself to be the same entity as the Crypter, sort of if a coma victim had a dream about living an entire different life & came back thinking that was who they realy were, or like Angra Became Shirou because no matter how much you add 0 to 1 it is still 0. so the result remains 1.
Azathoth is in order to have authority over all Outer Gods, Gravity, Space-Time, VOID, Imaginary Numbers & Galaxies(Focus on our own since Azathoth is supposedly manifested in the superblackhole at the center of the Milky Way).
With Authority over Space-Time he made himself atemporal & another lynchpin for the LB besides the Tree, Caliburn & Rhongomyniad.
With Authority over Void & Imaginary Numbers he can travel in Void Sea & affect all Mystery that isn't based in reality(Imaginary).
With Authority over Outer Gods he can disable all other Outer Gods.
With Authority over Galaxies however he can control the Fantasy Trees since that is what they are.
The Crypters's plan is thus simply to make it impossible for others to win, not just hard by literally taking away the winning conditions. Adding multiple unreachable lynchpins(True Tower Rhon, Tree of Fantasy surrounded by Avalon where Merlin's Tower was, Azathoth & Simply leave for Void Space or other LBs, knowing Chaldea can't afford to Zero Sail Very Often, etc...)
His final objective, or maybe hope, the farthest he wants to aim is make Arturia into an Ultimate One. He plans to do this based on the fact she has access, even in PHH & even more so in the LB, to what he calls "World Contructs" which seem to be far above Divine Constructs despite sometimes being called this, further supported by the fact that Hephaestus-made Divine Constructs or even Aletheia couldn't defeat Sefar, without all combining, however Excalibur one-shot it.
Excalibur=SwordOfThePlanet/EmbodiesTheHopeOfVictory/TheSpiteOfDefeat
Avalon=Utopia/AbsoluteDefense/UltimateParadise
Caliburn=ChoosesTheBestRuler/Gaia&AlayaAuthority
Rhongomyniad=Lynchpin/LayersOfEarth
RoundTable=PlaceWhereHeroesGather/HeroicSpiritSummon
Camelot=UltimateFortress/Rampart/UtopianCity
Prydwen-UltimateVessel
Carwennan-AbsoluteUndetectability/Light&Dark
ReáltaNua/GaiaAnima-WorldSoulShield(World Construct of Achilleus Cosmos, whereas according to legend Achilles had the Greek World surrounded by Okeanos on his shield, this one would have ATLAS, a CHALDEAS like representation of the Earth itself)
In addition recognized as worthy by the Beast of Gaia(Fou/Pax) & Beast/Weapon of Alaya(Might be Crypter, one of the 3 Aspects). One of the 3 aspects might be the Crypter being a counterpart to Beast IV, another Beast of Comparison who self-modifies via analysis, replication, modification & integration(Controlled & NonAutomatic cant be forced to absorb a trait, nor does it go out of control since it is analyzed first & implemented second). Mimicking traits(Demonic, Divinity, Draconic, even inorganic like weapons(NPs) & Machinery) that seem to work for others & recreating or adapting them in themselves, shifting or Hybridizing them, using one trait to strengthen another or offset another's weakness, sort of absorbing like Koyanskaya, or like Alucard or Rimuru(Azathoth skill relevant). Wanted to make them to EMIYA & Koyan, sort of what Tiamat is to Angra, the much greater concept they are based off. Going off the concept that everything has a structure so if you understand it you can replicate it given enough energy or resources.
First by granting her authority over the Earth this way, being recognized by both Alaya & Gaea(So as to distinguish from greek Gaia), she can become TYPE:EARTH.
Second using Slash Emperor, which he made using the knowledge acquired from Titan's Pit, the Fantasy Trees(Hence why it looks like a seed in the palm of the hand) & the concept of "The human nature to mold the world" or "to harvest resources & create" as opoosed to "destroys the world in order to protect humans.", to break the bleaching & Canopy, allowing either Arturia or the combined Counter Force to call for the other solar TYPEs ala Notes. A consensus would then be called to ascend one of them to Leader, a representative of the solar system with all of its Authority, TYPE:SOL. Becoming Amaterasu+1 Level (Since it is the entire Slar System not just the Star)
Third using Azathoth's Authority over the Milky Way & Galaxies, it would then connect the Solar system to the rest of the Galaxy to try & choose a Galaxy Ultimate One(If Galaxy Saber will redesign), in order to end Velber once & for all since its 14k orbit is about to make a complete circuit & thus will soon be back at the Milky Way to have another go at "Harvesting".
The Crypter, Peter, is completely aware of how ambitious it is & is fully willing to settle for less, having several "goals" in order of scale, from simply making Alvalion LB the main Earth History, to using all the Fantasy Trees & Spirit Cores he Accumulated inside them like a Grand Holy Grail in order to make a wish to change the very structure of the Quantum Locks or FATE, to becoming TYPE:MOON & making his own MoonCell if they don't exist in this timeline, like he says "It is just a matter of how much I can win" being willing to settle & accept if he fails to achieve his goals.
This is the sort of plan I came up when Da Vinci said Daybit is the kind to aim for the impossible & I was like "what is the most bat shit insane thing I can writeLogos React that still has a base in lore?" (Jokes are the greatest lore, Galaxy Saber, Milky Way Ultimate One, XD)
As for the TYPE:MOON & Moon Cell, if they don't exist in this timeline, Peter would use either Azathoth or Avalon to mess with time & send Alvalion tech(Early Access to Logos React & TriHermes) to the formation of the Moon to slowly turn it into a Spiritron Computer/Moon Cell. If no life were there yet this would automatically make them TYPE:MOON. Since the Moon protects the Earth From Meteories, I like the Shield/Bodyguard dynamic between Arturia(Earth) & Peter(Moon). Also would explain their(Peter) Water(Tides & Lunar "Seas") & Earth element affinity, another Rock pun & 2 potential abilities I had in mind(Roche Limit Breaker & Regression Collision=Theia Origin)
Having it stay dormant, gathering information & running simulations of worlds that believe themselves to be real(Notes & Extra Holy Grails), this way the whole of extra could have been a Digital simulation(Moon Grail war) inside the very simulation(EXTRA) 2Level Matrix style, this would actually make it more sense to me than how they presented programs overriding a system the size of the Moon. Not to say the Extraverse DOESN'T exist in this AU, this is just my personal way of bringing it into the fold.

Location: Port Royal, Jamaica, Caribbean Sea
Year: 1718 AD
Human Order Foundation Value: C
Centered on the Jamaican city of Port Royal, this singularity stretches throughout the entirety of the Caribbean sea. It is set around the time of the death of the infamous pirate Edward Teach (also known as Blackbeard), which heralded the end of the Golden Age of Piracy.
Ritsuka and Mash land in Port Royal, which has become extremely prosperous thanks to the mystical islands and powerful treasures that now litter the Caribbean. There, they are aggressively greeted by the gorgon Medusa, who is desperately looking for her lost sisters, and thinks that Chaldea are the ones who took them. After their misunderstanding is cleared up, Mash suggests they put together a ship's crew to better navigate the seas in search of Medusa's sisters. After a tense encounter with the female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, Chaldea is eventually joined by ship's owner-slash-captain-slash-helmsman Blackbeard, first mate Hektor, and healer Medea.
Throughout the journey, Ritsuka and Mash learn the essence of charity by lending a helping hand to Medusa, listening to Hektor's war stories, and watching Medea (begrudgingly) work as the ship's doctor. This is in contrast to behavior exhibited by the pirates all around them, Blackbeard included, who are greedy to the core and willing to sell out for the right price.
The mission to find Stheno and Euryale takes the Queen Anne's Revenge to Tortuga, Havana, and beyond. They eventually chance upon Stheno in one of the Florida Keys along with David, who's guarding her and his secret treasure from pirates. Stheno also intuits that Euryale is somewhere in the vicinity of Port Royal, so Blackbeard and the crew make the journey back to port.
Once there, the group finds Euryale being pampered in the governor's mansion, along with Anne and Mary, a captured Atalanta, and an enthralled Asterios. Blackbeard then reveals his true colors, claiming that his original goal was to capture all three gorgon sisters in the most entertaining way possible. He reveals the Holy Grail causing the Singularity and uses it to compel Atalanta, Asterios, and Euryale to attack Chaldea.
The fighting between the two factions eventually spills over into the town, causing copious amounts of collateral damage, but neither side is able to prevail upon the other. During a lull in the fighting, David hatches a plan with Ritsuka and Medusa to defeat Blackbeard without risking the lives of his hostages: they will offer the pirate his Ark Noble Phantasm as payment for reuniting the three gorgon sisters. Unable to restrain his avarice, Blackbeard touches the Ark and immediately perishes, leaving Ritsuka free to take his Holy Grail. Before rayshifting back to Chaldea, the Gorgon sisters thank Ritsuka and Mash for reuniting them.
With the removal of the Grail, the Human Order's corrective principle is able to revise the Singularity's events to conform with Greater Human History's records: Blackbeard's death is caused by a run-in with the law, and the destruction of Port Royal is attributed to a violent earthquake that levelled the city in 1692. However, the mystics that filled the Caribbean sea did not completely disappear, eventually becoming concentrated in the area now known as the Bermuda triangle.
Location: New York/New Jersey, United States of America
Year: 1902 AD
Human Order Foundation Value: D++
The singularity is set in the New York/New Jersey area during the winter of 1902. Unable to secure funding for his experiments, Nikola Tesla is forced to discontinue many of his projects at Wardenclyffe, New York, which includes the massive structure bynamed "Tesla Tower". However, thanks to acquiring a certain something, the sights and sounds of innovation fill Wardenclyffe once more. Envious of his newfound success, Thomas Edison attempts to and successfully steals the catalyst of Tesla's newfound prosperity: a Holy Grail. With both luminaries eager to reap the Grail's benefits, the War of the Currents suddenly turned bloody.
Ritsuka and Mash land near Thomas Edison's research complex at West Orange, New Jersey, where Billy the Kid has dropped off what their sensors detect is the Grail. They attempt to gain an audience with Edison, but his bodyguard Fergus says he is temporarily indisposed. After a spar with Fergus to pass the time, Edison appears in his full leonine glory thanks to the Grail's power, and promises to hand over the Grail to Chaldea once he concludes his business with Tesla. Alarms sound at this time, and security cameras reveal that Fuma Kotaro, one of Tesla's operatives, stole back the Holy Grail from its vault. Billy again takes off in pursuit, and Edison suggests that Chaldea follow him if they want to get back the Grail.
While in pursuit of Kotaro, Ritsuka and Mash are accosted by Helena Blavatsky and Geronimo, who mistake them for employees of Edison Inc. After clearing up the confusion, Helena gives Chaldea a synopsis of the Singularity's history. Ritsuka and Mash agree to join Helena's cause of stopping both Edison and Tesla; Geronimo suggests gathering more allies before they confront the two inventors. Luckily for them, he can detect the presence of an extremely powerful Spirit Origin in the direction of Newark.
During their journey to Newark, Ritsuka and Mash learn the essence of gratitude from the stories Geronimo tells of his tribe, as well as the high praise Helena gives both Edison and Tesla. The Servant Chaldea is looking for in Newark is revealed to be the awarded hero Arjuna, and he tests the party's resolve through combat before he can consider joining their cause. Mash, Helena, and Geronimo's combined strength ends up being unable to prevail against Arjuna, who turns to leave. However, Helena's impassioned pleas for help in stopping the war between her two friends remind Arjuna of his mother Kunti's efforts to dissuade his archenemy Karna from marching to war, so he ends up joining Chaldea anyway.
After recruiting Arjuna, Helena reads her worst fears come to life on the paper: Tesla has challenged Edison to an inventors' contest at his laboratory in Wardenclyffe, Long Island. The party hastens to board a ship headed for Long Island, where Arjuna is briefed on the situation by the rest of the party. He notices the uncomfortable similarities between Edison and Tesla's rivalry, and his and Karna's, and hopes Chaldea can avoid the same ending that once befell him.
Upon arriving at Long Island, the party witnesses the devastation Edison and Tesla's envy of each other has wrought: dozens of automata lie broken, and most everything is scorched black by lightning. At Wardenclyffe, the party sees that Edison, Tesla, and their Servants have sustained grievous injuries from the showdown. Helena sees no way of calming the two down with words, so she enters the Chaldea faction into the fray by trying to beat sense into the inventors herself, leaving Ritsuka, Mash, Geronimo, and Arjuna to fend off the warring parties' supporters.
With great effort, Helena overcomes both Edison and Tesla, and pries the Grail from their hands. The inventors start coming to their senses when a worm-like demonic creature that self-identifies as Ephesus bursts out of the Tesla Tower and begins its rampage. It easily deals grave injuries to Lu Bu, Tesla's bodyguard who had been protecting the Tower. The massed Servants attempt to defeat it, but are too exhausted by the earlier fighting to deal significant damage. Arjuna, however, is barely winded and, moved by the conclusion Helena was able to bring about, vaporizes Ephesus with a single release of his Noble Phantasm.
Once everything has settled, Helena makes a single wish to the Grail before handing it over to Chaldea: a Christmas supper with her friends both old and new. Edison and Tesla will still be rivals, but they at least mutually acknowledge their friendship and gratitude to Helena. Arjuna, too, is thankful to his traveling companions for allowing him to experience an adventure by himself, and not as part of his rivalry with Karna. With this singularity only deviating slightly from Greater Human History, the corrective force does little to alter its events; the wreckage caused by the inventors' clash is instead attributed to violent thunderstorms.
AUTHOR'S NOTES
Before I get into some scenario-specific comments, I'd like to discuss the method by which I arrived at these scenarios. Something I found really helpful when conceptualizing these is that merely the act of flipping the roles of antagonist and protagonist in Mobile's singularities can yield delightfully different results, so you'll see me use this technique extensively in my rewrites. I believe TM also employed this technique in the Moonlight/Lostroom anime special, so you know something is useful if it has the authors' seal of approval.
Mystic-Filled Pirate Domain 海賊溢怪領域
- The singularity's main theme is greed (treasuring worldly goods to an excess) vs generosity (being able to cheefully part with worldly goods), and its key characters are the gorgon sisters Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa.
- This was not the first singularity I'd mentally rewritten (that honor goes to Lost Jerusalem; more on that when it comes out), but this is where I'd put Medusa instead of in the Holy Land. I put this scenario first in Arcade because it's the most straightforward of the seven; it's an adventure story featuring mostly familiar faces that says yes, greed is bad (funny a gacha game should say this but there you go). It's meant to ease new players already familiar with like F/SN into the changes in F/GO's story, and perhaps into F/GO in general. Medusa being the key character was in response to one Youtube commenter's incredulity at her being featured in a main story chapter. From there, her character arc of "being able to reunite with her sisters" came naturally as idk if we've already seen that in Mobile's main story. So there you go.
- Hektor and Medea are also there because
I love them both to bitsthe former gets so little screentime in Mobile and the latter is perpetually overshadowed by her Lily counterpart. In-story they'd probably dote on Ritsuka and Mash as their little siblings, which would be more important for Medea than for Hektor given that she, y'know, chopped up her own infant brother for Jason (listen dude, you'll always be captain of the Neo-Argonauts but like, dick move).- One small change you probably didn't notice is that the chapter is titled "Port Royal" rather than "Okeanos". This (and all the other modified titles) was to line up with the setting overviews reference to seven cities.
Luminaries' Electrifying Civil War 泰斗電撃内戦
- The singularity's main theme is envy (wanting what someone else has/wishing ill of someone for having something you don't) vs gratitude (appreciating what you have), and its key characters are Helena Blavatsky and Arjuna.
- I actually rather liked E Pluribus Unum at the time of its release, but as time passed it lost its luster for me because of several problems. One of said problems is that "North America" is more or less just set dressing. You could swap North America out for literally any other place and not much of value would be lost. So for this singularity, I narrowed down the setting's size from 50 states to two, and focused it on more classically-American conflicts: not just the War of the Currents, but also the tension between different waves of immigrants as represented by Edison and Tesla's respective factions.
- Regarding the key characters, we all know Helena, Edison, and Tesla are sort of a trio, so with this scenario I wanted to explore what would happen if Helena's interventions weren't enough, and what lengths she might be willing to go to preserve their odd friendship. With Arjuna I wanted to give his abilities as a Servant a place to shine (read: stomp everybody else to the curb), and his character space to move in that isn't tied to his rivalry with Karna. By the end of Wardenclyffe, I'd say his relationship with Arcade!Guda is around Bond 3? Close enough that Arjuna can admit certain things to them but far enough that he's still putting up a front.
Wow, I love the concepts from both of you! Here is the Inca singularity:
SINGULARITY 01: Inca Empire, The Red Sun Rises - Human Foundation Value: C - Location: Incan Empire - Date: 1532
Organizations: Chaldea, The Conquistadors, The Incan Empire
This singularity appears during Francisco Pizarro's conquest of the Incan empire. Emperor Atahualpa gets hold of the grail and uses it to wish for his people to win this battle. This causes a singularity where the Spaniards have been severely driven back. At first, Chaldea assists Pizarro, fighting and defeating several servants. However, as they get close enough to reach the holy grail, Pizarro backstabs Chaldea and steals the grail to gain his wish, of becoming the richest person in the world. Atahualpa assists Chaldea as they fight their way through the spirits Pizarro summoned and finally seize back the holy grail.
Servants:
Rider - Emperor Atahualpa: At first, seeming to be the main enemy, controlling an army of heroic spirits to drive back Pizarro and the rogue servants. However, once Pizarro's true plot is revealed, Atahualpa becomes the main ally. He survives through the entire arc, dealing the final blow to Pizarro.
Saber - Francisco Pizarro: The first ally Chaldea meets, and he assists them until his true plot is revealed, wherein he controls an army of heroic spirits to do everything he can to defeat Chaldea and become the richest person in the world. He is the final enemy faced in the arc.
Avenger - Montezuma II: The second-in-command to Atahualpa, he faces down Chaldea several times before falling at Macchu Pichu, being the last servant that falls before Pizarro reveals himself.
Lancer - Juan Ponce De Leon: The second-in-command to Pizarro, after Pizarro switches sides he joins him, and faces down the party at several points before becoming the second-to-final boss and dying just before Pizarro.
Alter-Ego - Miguel De Servantes: One of Pizarro's allies, the famous French writer. Once Pizarro switches sides, he does too, and defeats Napoleon before falling to the party.
Assasin - La Malinche: One of Pizarro's allies. She pretends to be Berserker: Joanna Of Castile before Pizarro reveals himself. She works with Ponce de Leon to hunt down Chaldea. She falls not long after she switches sides.
Archer - Napoleon: A rogue servant who joins Chaldea to face down Pizarro. He battles effectively, slaying La Malinche, but falls to Miguel De Servantes.
Ruler - Isabel I: One of Pizarro's allies. Falls to Gawain after defeating Euryale.
Archer - Euryale: One of Atahualpa's allies. Falls to Isabel II.
Saber - Gawain: One of Atahualpa's allies. Falls to Malinche after defeating Isabel.

And here is the Second Singularity:
SINGULARITY 02: Brittany: I Curse You With My Dying Breath. Human Foundation Value: B, Location: Brittany, Date: 1359
Organizations: The Pirates, Chaldea
This singularity starts when the Lioness of Brittany, Jeanne De Clisson, on her deathbed, obtains the Holy Grail, and summons an army of servants, binding them to her ships and binding them with curses, to bombard France. She then passes on the grail to the leader of the servants who she summoned. The pirates move toward destroying France, but start by destroying areas of Brittany. Soon, chaldea is summoned.
Servants:
Rider: Hendrick Van Der Decken - The holder of the Holy Grail, a notorious pirate who was sealed to never leave the Flying Dutchman. He is finally defeated after a grueling set of battles by sinking the ship down a whirlpool.
Rider: Francis Drake - One of the allies of Van Der Decken, she patrols the British Channel to sink battleships especially. She joins Chaldea after a while, and assists sink the pirates one by one. She dies to Ching Shih to be able to successfully stall her enough.
Rider: Barthomelew Roberts - Chaldea's main ally, the infamous pirate Barthomelew Roberts. He tells Chaldea about the situation. He also convinces Drake to assist Chaldea. He survives the entire way.
Rider: Blackbeard - The famed pirate, one of the pirates summoned by Clisson before her dying breath. He is the first pirate captain sunk by the party.
Rider: Anne Bonny and Mary Read - Another famous pirate pair, they captain the Corsairs sailing near the coast of Scotland. They are sunk by Chaldea second.
Rider: Ching Shih - The second-in-command to Van Der Decken and the most successful pirate to exist, it takes the loss of Drake and of Kidd to stall her long enough to arrive at Van Der Decken. She is convinced by Roberts to help the party for a hefty bribe and defeats Clisson in the final battle.
Rider: William Kidd - Another rogue servant. He joins chaldea not long before they face down Ching Shih, and sacrifices his own life to stop her.
Rider: Calico Jack - One of the pirates summoned by Van Der Decken. A powerful warrior who falls after Bonny and Read.
Avenger: Jeanne De Clisson - She is summoned by Van Der Decken as he falls, and serves as the final boss for the ark. She uses her My Revenge to great effect, and easily defeats Chaldea until Roberts turns the tables, convincing Ching Shih to fight her.

I have had a bit of a wave of inspiration. Here is the third singularity in the group.
SINGULARITY 03 - France: The Monarchy Shall Never Die - Location: France - Human Foundation Value: D - Date: 1793
Organizations: The Monarchy, The Rebellion, Chaldea
Princess Elizabeth of France got ahold of the grail as Marie was going to be executed and made a wish, that Marie wouldn't be. And so she wasn't. But that was not enough. Many members of the rebellion are now after her head. So Elizabeth summoned a horde of servants to work with her and her allies.
Servants:
Caster: Princess Elizabeth Of France - The Grail holder, and Marie Antoinette's sister-in-law. She has the powers of her servant form. She is faced down several times, before in her rage and grief, transforming into a Demon Pillar for the final battle.
Rider: Marie Antoinette - One of Chaldea's allies. She knows she must die here and is ready for it, but Elizabeth has been actively preventing her from trying to stop it. Eventually, at the climax, she sacrifices herself, getting executed by the guillotine.
Assasin: Charles-Henri Sanson - Chaldea's main ally. He has been helping Chaldea realize what they have to do, what they have to prepare to do.. execute Marie. However, he doesn't wish to, and eventually doesn't have to, as Marie executes herself.
Caster: Louis XIV - One of the allies of Princess Elizabeth, and Marie's husband. Is faced down several times by Chaldea, before falling to Sanson before marie's death.
Assasin: Charlotte Corday - An ally of Princess Elisabeth. Defeats D'Eon, but then is defeated by Sanson.
Caster: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - An ally of Princess Elisabeth. Is convinced to stand down by Marie.
Saber: Chevalier D'Eon - An ally of Princess Elisabeth. Is convinced to stand down and help her by Marie. Defeats Fersen before falling to Corday.
Rider: Hans Axel Von Fersen - An ally of Princess Elisabeth, and one of the most recurring threats. Is finally faced down for the last time at the 3/4 mark and is defeated by D'Eon.
Berserker: Maximilien Robespierre - The leader of The Rebellion, and the main threat Chaldea has to face until he is defeated for good just before Fersen is.
Avenger: Lucille Desmoulins - One of Chaldea's allies, and a Servant. The young bride of Camille Desmoulins, who was executed in the Revolution. She defeats Robespierre, but also falls to him.
Lancer: Georges Danton - One of the members of the Rebellion. He stops attacking chaldea about 1/3 of the way through.

Fate/Grand Order: Horizon of Strange Stars???: Holmes… how has your time spent with dear Marisbury’s pet project been?
Prologue December 25, 2022
“Sherlock Holmes”: Well spent indeed, Master. The disasters we foresaw has been dealt with, albeit, I was a tad late to the scene.
???: No need to call me that, we've yet to forge a contract. At the very least, I take it you were there for the most important part?
“Sherlock Holmes”: Yes, I was present for a majority of the Human Order Incineration. Some of your theories regarding its applications were indeed off.
???: Very well. Beast I’s Human Order incineration proved us that at least in some way, the past, present, and future can be changed dramatically. And the Lostbelt incident has now proven we can simulate realistic histories from dead timelines using the Fantasy Trees, an anchor if you will. It’s possible then, with enough recourses, to create mostly unique new futures, and set those in stone.
???: Louey, you’re kidding me, you're talking about the Grand Caster's Noble Phantasm and the work of an arguably Divine entity like it's nothing? P-Plus... the Lostbelts are all simulations of what those dead timelines would look like if they survived right? Nothing but hyper realistic projections, just like Augmented Reality.
Lou Rgisgaia: I know I know, Larysse. However, combining the principles we observed in both incidents, our advanced technological and thaumaturgic principles… no I don’t see how this would be a problem. We just have to adjust the ritual for the new data provided by Holmes, no?
???: You egg heads and your numbers, what about the fuel? Those brats at Chaldea used up the gathered magic from the operation of the Lostbelts to fix the bleaching.
Lou Rgisgaia:Holmes and I have that accounted for, don’t worry. Regardless of the new data, one part of our plan remains clear, the OOPArts which should make the ritual easier. I have the perfect stage set, all thanks to a couple of benefactors who promised a way to actually perform the ritual's desired outcome. They agreed to meet us in Hyde Park, London, 1851. A singularity is due to appear there soon that will allow us to acquire everything we need.
???: Yes, I read the emails. It seems legit, man. If he IS from the future that he says he’s from, this makes everything better.
Larysse Lam Phaturn: Oh, I can’t wait! The World Fair is such a romantic period. Just imagine it, all those new scientific discoveries. Ahhh, imagine how people back then must’ve reacted to things that we take for granted. It’s a new age dawning, it’s like fate. You dig what I’m saying right, Libera?
Libera Echter Vondgren: I won’t deny, it’s an appealing era. But it marked the beginning of the industrial revolution as well… the machines accelerating human progress… if only they’d stayed content with that. Whatever, I guess the golden years were neat.
End
Prologue - August 1, 2022After defeating the Alien God, the members of Chaldea found the Earth still bleached. However, TRISMEGISTUS’ light of civilization was still bright, albeit rather faintly. Sion speculates that the texture of the simulated Earth in the original CHALDEAS Lense is still intact and that it could be used as a texture to replace the bleached Earth. The staff return to Antarctica and reclaim their old HQ, which has become a semi-salvageable ruin. They thaw the frozen CHALDEAS out of the ice once encasing it and begin their work on fixing it. After much effort and the help of a certain hooded "Chaldean", they perform a spell to place the simulated texture on the bleached Earth, using the energy gathered from the destroyed Lostbelts and the defeat of the Alien God as fuel. Everything seemed like it was going perfectly. They’d even managed to salvage a vestige of the former Director's soul stuck within CHALDEAS, albeit contained in the form of the Alter-Ego Class Servant Schrodinger's Cat. While our story begins about a few months after the Earth was fixed, the catalyst appears much sooner while the Stormboarder was travelling to Antarctica. The Stormboarder passes by the location that was once Point Nemo where the life signature of an unknown individual is detected.
Da Vinci: Alert! Alert! Attention everybody, unknown life form detected.
Goredolf: Hah!? But who could be left in this bloody wasteland but us? Did one of the Crypter’s survive?
Kadoc: Tch, just our luck. B-but… no… could Kirschtaria have survived?
Goredolf: Hoho? You planning on him bailing you out? You know, you’ve been along on this ride for ages now, just live with it. That blasted Alien God is gone anyways so it doesn’t really-
Da Vinci: No, it’s a Heroic Spirit.
Everyone: WHAT!?
Mash: Is it possible that one of the Alien God’s apostles survived? I’m sure we beat Rasputin and Muramasa back in Nevada… c-could there be another one? Wouldn’t they have disappeared by now though, with their master gone?
Da Vinci: The only other possibility would be a certain "King of Mages"… but he’s already here with us as well. Ritsuka and Mash, as our main field operatives with access to servants you’re gonna have to go down there and investigate. We’re all still a bit weary from the last battle so if anything goes wrong, you run, got it?
Mash: Right! Let’s go, senpai!
The pair disembark from the Stormboarder and begin approaching the source of the signal. It is revealed to be a talk cloaked figure carrying a staff with a black mirror on it. The figure is wearing a hood. Dirty blonde hair and piercing, emerald eyes can be seen underneath the hood.???: Mmm… to think anyone was left in this wasteland… peculiar. Such a troublesome era I was thrust in.
>Uhm… excuse us, but who are you? How did you get here? We thought nobody survived the bleaching of the Earth aside from us.???: Ahahaha, I’ve noticed that this place is eerily empty. It seems like I arrived late to the party. Well, since I don’t believe this place will survive for long without being pruned, allow me to introduce myself. For now, I am known as Foreigner of the End.
Mash: T-The End!?
>Sorry if we think that alias sounds a bit suspicious. We just dealt with the Beast of the End too, y'know?Foreigner of the End: Ahahaha, don’t fret over it. I assure you, I don’t bear any ill will towards you or this world. This isn’t my usual circumstance, I was merely sent to observe and analyse the situation of this world. Normally… I am something akin to a Counter Guardian.
Da Vinci: Counter Guardian? Well I suppose that isn’t too much of a problem. You said you were late?
Foreigner of the End: Mutters A hologram… to see one in person, how fascinating.
Foreigner of the End: Yes… something went wrong during my summoning. I think it has something to do with the state of this place. How inconvenient.
This strange encounter is onely one part of the bigger picture in the events to come. Foreigner of the End follows Chaldea to Antarctica for the restoration of the Earth's Texture, but seemingly disappears once the texture is replaced. A seemingly innocuous encounter will soon spiral into an incident of fantastical absurdity. For now, let us enjoy the calm before the storm and the hope found in reuniting with old friends.

French Revolution singularity: Ayy, someone else who knows about Fersen! I swear, any story set in the French Revolution (especially starring Marie Antoinette) is incomplete without him. Anyway, the Revolution always feels like an obvious singularity point, considering how many people would wish to save Marie (Mozart, Fersen, d'Eon, Elisabeth, and Louis, just to name a few), to the point it's just a matter of who would start it. A bit surprising to see Corday on the side that supports the monarchy, but aside from that minor thing, it's solid.
jishara These singularities are very interesting & follow an FGO structure to the point I can imagine them playing out in my mind, they seem very natural compared to some of FGO OG singularities in the "just chuck a Holy Grail in there & someone will mess with history even without input from Goetia or a Pillar" aspect.
Nuclear I also like yours very much & i can agree with Lily overshadowing Medea, something I resent since I like OG Medea. It is one of the main reasons I like coming to this site, to imagine what it might have been like with there were no copyright, budget, feasibility or meta limitations to take in consideration(Like how they avoid OG Arturia Medusa & Medea, etc... | If all Heroic Spirits were available from the start | Worry how to represet/program the game | Involve Christian Myth without wanking it so as not to offend the public & other such problems) just let things go wild!
Seven deadly sins are a basic theme, however since we are dealing with Holy Grails & a Abrahamic Figure in the OG it seems appropriate. I avoid having Gorgon & her sisters, usually have OG Medusa since I treat full Gorgon as a composite made by Medusa completing her transformation by eating her sisters, also like I mentioned in my post I believe that Medusa & Asterios have more in common & should be the ones to bond.
Tesla getting his budget a la Marisbury via a Grail is hilarious, & I would like to see this war play out, with Tesla winning of course, screw Edison. Since it is so short a time for a lostbelt, this would be a way to show the "Tesla completed all his tech without suppression" scenario that people woner about even IRL. Plus you could make Tesla the eccentric he was & include his pigeon lover as a mascot character(Maybe he empowered it).
Thank you. I am really glad you enjoy it! Corday is less on Marie's side and more on the side that opposes Robespierre, much like Lucille Desmoulins. Neither particularly supports Marie, but they want to stop robespierre!
Thank you for your kind comment The Archangel.
And Nuclear, I love yours so much!
SINGULARITY 04 - Egypt, The Mad Pharoah - Human Foundation Value: C++ - Date: 1350 BC - Location: Egypt
Factions: The Pharoah, Chaldea
Akhenaten obtained the holy grail. He used it to wish that his god, Aten, was a god, and not just any god, the only god. This succeeded, but it came at a price, as Aten is not a good or compassionate god. Aten is an immensely dangerous and evil god. So when Akhenaten wished him into existence, Aten started destroying Egypt. In truth, he knew that Aten was an Elder God, and while in PHH his cult of Atenism's goal was to seperate out Aten and stop the Elder God from destroying the earth, with the holy grail he was able to do the same thing far quicker.
Servants:
Foreigner: Akhenaten - The famed Pharoah and the Holy Grail Holder for this region. He faced down Chaldea several times before we realized his true goal, to save the world by seperating out the fragment Aten and using it to stop the outer god.
Caster: Nitocris - One of the Pharoahs of Egypt, and the main ally for this region. She immediately finds Chaldea and tries to help. She survives the entire arc.
Berserker: Tutenkhamen - Akhenaten's son and his second-in-command. He faces down Chaldea several times before being defeated by Aten not long before the end.
Alter-Ego: Aten - A sun god forced into existence. He is the final boss for this singularity, and terrorizes the people. He is defeated by Akhenaten.
Rider: Ozymandias - One of the allies for this region. He faces down the party several times before starting to assist them. He is defeated by Nefertiti not long before the climax.
Assasin: Cleopatra - One of the allies for this region. After she is convinced to help, she is defeated by Nefertiti not long before the climax.
Rider: Nefertiti - One of the allies of Akhenaten and his wife. She faces down Chaldea several times, slaying Ozymandias and Cleopatra before falling to Nitocris.
Rider: Khufu - A rogue servant that Chaldea faces down several times. Later assists Chaldea fight Nefertiti before falling to Tutenkhamen.
Assasin: Hatsheput - Forced into Akhenaten's service by the Grail. Is killed by Aten during the climax.
Caster: Imhotep - Forced into Akhenaten's service by the Grail. Faces down chaldea several times before falling.
Rider: Sneferu - Forced into Akhenaten's service by the Grail. Is the first of Akhenaten's allies to fall.
