Fate is an integral part of my setting, symbolised by a transcendent goddess of fate born at the beginning of time. Wielding her hair that symbolises ‘strands’ of fate, she ensures that the random assortment of chemicals in the early universe are ‘fated’ to organize themselves into self repeating patterns, which are ‘fated’ to evolve into all life in the setting. Fate explains much of the setting and lore, indeed these are not random but inspired by the real world and other works of fiction.

  Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

  Fate can be scried, but be warned: fate reveals only what helps realize itself. Fate can be wielded, but only by those fated to wield it. Fate is absolute, in that what is fated occurs without fail. Fate is not absolute, in that the realization of fate does not depend on anything, and so could manifest as anything. Fate is both the path and the destination: the path can change or even be traveled in reverse, but the destination is always the same.
