The Moirai - The Fates
The Moirai, more commonly known as the Fates, are three Goddesses of Fate and Destiny.
The Fates do not interfere with mortal or even divine affairs and merely oversee the threads of fate of every being in existence, from mortals to the Gods themselves. They are commonly depicted spinning, measuring, and cutting a golden thread, representing the entire life of a person. Even the Gods fear the Fates. It’s said if you are shown the cutting of the thread your fate is sealed forevermore.
The Moirai are one of the Primordial deities, one of the first beings in existence. They are the embodiment of inescapable density. The three Fates are identified as a single entity, Atropus is the personification of endings, Clotho is the personification of beginnings and Lachesis is the personification of lifetime.
The Moirai are not worshipped, merely feared. You can not beseech or invoke the fates, you can only accept the destiny set before you.
