Welcome. As a Master, you have entered this city to obtain the Holy Grail, and with it, the title of Second Owner of Paris. As a result, your goal can be said to be the elimination of all candidates other than yourself. Only through unquestionable victory may your desires be realized. For these eight days, the eyes of the Holy See, of the Mage's Association, and of the myriad forces of the Moonlit World are all fixed upon Paris. To a magus, this land alone is enough to die for. Its prestige and history matches that of Rome and London, and its quality as a spiritual land can be considered unsurpassed in all the world. Without a doubt, any magus who were to own this land, regardless of blood or prior standing, could stand alongside even the greatest magi of the Association without a single worry. Compared to such a thing, the device purported to grant any wish is but a mere afterthought to most. Nonetheless... Night has fallen. Your preparations have been made. Your status as a Master has either been cemented at this time, or shall be within the coming moments. There is no grand mission at stake, save for that which you appoint to yourself. Do not veil over your desires with mere sophistry- your ideal future stands before you, and so you must reach forwards, and take it with both hands. Charge forward into the night, and take this city- take [b]your[/b] city. Burn up brilliantly in pursuit of your goals. The Moonlit World watches on with bated breath, awaiting the appearance of a new king. Welcome to the First Holy Grail War for the 727th Holy Grail. May your dreams give birth to a miracle.
