I'm not a Nasu-verse scholar, but I'm under the impression that the heroes on the Throne of Heroes aren't actually the souls of the dead heroes, but are instead reflections of the stories humans tell about them. I am more confident that the Servants summoned in the Grail Wars aren't the actual heroes, but are reflections of the beings on the Throne. This is why they have different characteristics depending on class. It also means that a servant summoned in more than one war won't remember the earlier ones.

Arthura and EMIYA are exceptions in that she gets summoned from a moment before she dies and he's a counter guardian.

And we should probably cut this off here as Nasu debates have no end point. Just some things to look up for yourself.

Actually, that is incorrect.  The Heroic Spirits on the Throne are the souls of the heroes, who are distorted/augmented to a certain degree by their legend.  For example, Vlad the Impaler wasn't a vampire while he was alive, but has gained vampire powers as a Heroic Spirit because everyone and their brother knows about Dracula.
Anyway, back on topic:Shirou Emiya finds the Enchiridion.
