The Riders of the Moirai

Structure

Four immortal riders exist. Each is the embodiment of a great ill. They are as follows:

The White Rider, the Bringer of False Peace
The Red Rider, the Bringer of War
The Black Rider, the Bringer of Disease, and
The Pale Rider, the Bringer of Death

Culture

Not much is known about the individual riders, but it is believed that they were once mortals who went against the Weave of Fate. Now their punishment is to execute the will of the Fates and never to find rest or reincarnation. Furthermore, due to their inter-dimensional nature, they are often compared to the Wild Hunt - however there does not seem to evidence of a connection.

Public Agenda

The Horsemen are mentioned in the Signs of the End Times. The Signs are as follows:

The White Rider Appears
The Red Rider Appears
The Black Rider Appears
The Pale Rider Appears
The Sleeper Awakes
The Heavens Break Open
The Silence of the Gods

It is believed that these signs herald the convening of the Conclave - a group strongly linked with the End of All Things.

History

It is said that the Horsemen have made several appearances throughout history. While all four riding at once is seen as the end of days as prophesied by the Moirai, individual Horsemen have made their presence known at important moments in history. For example, the Red Rider was said to have ridden with the Vanguard of Lady Romey's final battle.
