Fates

"The Fates aren't some of your typical goddesses, Black. They possess ancient and powerful knowledge beyond mortal comprehension. The Daughters of Destiny, they are called, Ladies of the Garden of Mist. Together they weave the great tapestry of life, doing the sacred job they were given by the highest of gods."

- Persephone.

The Fates, also known as Fate Spinners or Spinners of Fate, are usually a trio of deities that maintain the concepts of fate and destiny around many different mythologies.

Overview
Traditional usage defines fate as a power or agency that predetermines and orders the course of events. Fate defines events as ordered or "inevitable" and unavoidable. This is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the universe, and in some conceptions, the cosmos.

Classical and European mythology feature personified "fate spinners," known as the Moirai in Greek mythology, the Parcae in Roman mythology, and the Norns in Norse mythology. They determine the events of the world through the mystic spinning of threads that represent individual human fates. Fate is often conceived as being divinely inspired.

It is said that all trios of Fates serve Destiny of the Endless or Fate itself.
