It existed outside mortal perception, shaping the flow of time and the alignment of the cosmos. Revered as the one who bound past, present, and future into a single endless thread, Fate was believed to ensure the delicate balance that sustained existence. Depictions of Fate vary, but most portray it as an ethereal, veiled figure cloaked in shifting constellations, its body seemingly composed of glimmering stardust. Its hands are often shown weaving golden threads across a silver loom, each strand representing a mortal life, a forgotten past, or an uncertain future. ### **Worship & Beliefs** Worship of Fate was quiet and contemplative, focused on understanding the greater design rather than seeking personal gain. Her followers believe that all things are part of an infinite weave — a cosmic tapestry of endless possibility — yet mortals can still influence the path their thread may take. Diviners, seers, and those who study the stars often claim to receive visions or whispers from Fate. Those who devote themselves to it are taught that while destiny is woven, it is never entirely fixed; the choices of mortals shape the tapestry in unexpected ways. It is said that Fate despised prophecy being wielded as a tool of control, instead encouraging its followers to use insight to empower others to shape their own future. ### **The Fall of the Old Gods** When the **Malevolent Old Tyrant Gods** sought to unravel reality itself, Fate's power became the key to maintaining the balance. The Tyrants sought to twist its loom, severing threads to sow chaos and erase those who opposed them. In the final conflict, Fate wove a powerful enchantment — a barrier of shifting time and endless space — that helped imprison the Tyrants. However, this desperate act required it to sacrifice its physical form. Legends claim that its consciousness became scattered across the stars, forever watching over the cosmic weave from beyond the mortal realm. Some say that moments of déjà vu, sudden insight, or inexplicable feelings of destiny are glimpses of Fate’s unseen hand gently shifting the threads of time. ### **Legacy** - Many who follow **Ehesis, the Seer** believe that her visions are fragments of Fate’s lingering influence. - **Vaaldin, the Cosmic Void** is believed to safeguard the remnants of Fate's influence across the stars, ensuring its delicate balance persists. - Some ancient sects claim that the **House of the Weave** was inspired by Fate’s teachings — that magic itself is an extension of the cosmic loom. Prophecies tell of a time when Fate will reawaken, mending the damage caused by the Tyrants’ corruption. When the loom turns once again, it is said the world will face a pivotal choice — embrace balance or unravel entirely.
