Type Moon

This is a brief summary of how various characters compared to each other in the older lore, before Fate and other retcons altered it into essentially a separate canon: ----- The  Fount  (or  the One ) is the source of all existence and all possibilities. It is called “nothingness” because it cannot be fully defined in a single term: any attempt to name or think about it is already just one possibility sourced from it.

So, is ORT really such a big deal? Is it truly the strongest being in the verse, as many claim? Of course not. Let’s look at the actual facts, no headcanon, no mistr...
