The first and only utilisation of the Fuyuki Grail took place at the dawn of the 19th century, and became a disaster. Only meant to be a ritual to amass energy, it devolved into an all-out fight far sooner than anticipated; the founding families were devastated and the activated Grail was destroyed in carrying out an act of vengeance.

But mages have long memories, and the allure of granting a wish or brute-forcing a way to the Root was tempting, noted by less fortunate families as a possible option... one almost destined to be simply a thought experiment, until the new millennium. Factions within the Mage's Association stirred, funded by remnants of the Einzbern. For all the flaws of its outcome, the victor's wish had been granted; if one could source a replacement for the Greater Grail then another Grail ritual could be established.

The site chosen was Mifune, and the Association went to work seeking a suitable vessel not yet seized by the church; looking for a true facsimile to the Holy Grail. Still within the country, transporting pieces of the original Greater Grail to the site was no difficult task, unlike replacing its features... the original magical circuits forming the Greater Grail were something impossible to make in the modern era. But where quality was lacking, quantity was more than available: dozens, hundreds of lesser homunculi were created, each a single part of the replacement machine, fusing alchemy and kabbalah to fit each creation and its circuits to their exact purpose.

The stage was set, the mages' holy grail found and forged into a wish-granting core for the ritual, leaving behind a physical shell of itself to act as the lesser part. In two years, the final Master would be selected, the final Servant summoned, and the war would begin. Everything was going to plan, and soon the first intentional Holy Grail War would begin...

With one flaw.

Since the first Master was chosen, the lesser Grail has been missing.
