This is how she met her end. Most of the heroic spirits we know of didn't exactly die in their beds, let alone surrounded by friends.
It is almost like someone had an agenda behind making their life end in such a fashion that they would seek out the chance of gaining a magical artifact capable of fulfilling a wish of theirs, thus eternally binding them as heroic spirits. HMMMMMMMM....

Not how that works, either. Heroic Spirits which qualify for the Ruler class, for instance, notably DON'T have any wish they want granted. It's the one and only qualification for the class. See: Qin Shi Huang (Lostbelt), Holmes. Becoming a Heroic Spirit simply means being recorded into the Throne of Heroes. While the specifics are complicated, if your name is carved into history or legend, that's where you end up. Remember, the original "summoner" of Heroic Spirits is the World itself. Humans basically copied and implemented a downgraded version of that.

I was kind of implying that the "World" was the cause why so many heroic spirits desire the grail/miracle wish. It has been shown to has its own agenda of sorts, or at least, it has been indirectly implied to do so over the multitude of canon Fate material.
From what I have seen, most disasters in the Fate-verses can be directly retraced back to the Throne of Heroes and the "World"
Maybe I am just being paranoid though. But considering what happens in FGO I do feel like my belief has some foundation to stand on.

If you want the full story you want to go back in the story to Artoria (saber) to get the full content of the grail but the normal portions of the game take place where the grail "went" in history and how it's effected those places.
In general Nasu's prose for each game/Visual Novel/Light Novel has its own meaning to it. For instance: Fate Extra is about letting go and letting the world be free of what people want to make it. The anime, Encore, is about letting go of your anger to see that peace.
The Servants and all the mythos the places and their powers are based on humans explaining the world in their own way. Each is unique and thus become part of our story, Our heroes, but most importantly our agents for change.
But the biggest thing is that the grail is not the Holy Grail we IRL know it to be. They know of it but have created tainted versions of it using magic and by extension every grail war is not for someone to win but for everyone to lose. You can never obtain perfection and when you do so it's a polluted version of its meaning. Therefore, when Artoria is forced to drink from it she's corrupted. When Shirou helps Sakura the world goes down the Ataxia route.
Each servant has died as our notions for that perfect world has. And we get to have them back relive it, painfully, because that's how we use our idol's in our world.
