A Brief Interlude I: The Origin of Fate

As Told by Father Johann of Oak Hill Cemetary

Troentad, the Father of Time was shunned by all the other gods because each knew that he held the knowledge of their ends in his great withered frame. They feared his presence in their extravagant halls for they worried that upon his calling their own times were at and end. Thus Troentad found himself alone for many an age, growing ever more sullen at his plight.

It came to pass that Danu the Earthmother, cradle of all life, took pity on the lonesome Troentad. She, of all the gods, giver of life, was not afraid of death. She came to Troentad in his cold and musty demesne and laid down with him to ease his loneliness. Thus Danu begat three goddesses from this union - the Three Maidens of Fate - who had in their power the knowledge of prophecy and the knowledge of the lives of all creatures, from their births up unto their ultimate ends.

And from that moment, Troentad was no longer alone.
