The Fates are among the most ancient of all beings in Creation. The mysteries of the universe are lain bare to them, watching past, present, and future unfold and unfurl around them.

These potent idealogues present avatars and extensions of their will across billions of worlds and demesnes. Asgard called them the Norns, and Odin sought deep wisdom from them on several occasions (at no small cost). The Olympians called them Moirai. They are individually known as Night, Gaea, and The Lady, and make their home at the roots of Yggdrasil to nurture The Garden.
