Ariachne, Weaver of Fate, & Araneus, the Web Star (& The Emissaries)

The Emissaries of Fate

Ariachne is not capable of directly influencing Eternia in the way that Divine beings are. Instead, the Abyssal Lord must use worldly tools. The Emissaries are the Spinner's mortal instruments, sent primarily to correct deviations in the timelines of various people or objects. Unfortunately for these people or objects the loops and eddies in the web of fate are far beyond the comprehension of anyone but Ariachne itself, and so the behavior of Emissaries can often seem, to mortals, to be incomprehensively cruel or just outright baffling. However, there is a reason for everything, even if mortals can't yet see the end result..

Certain wild rumours speak of forbidden rituals that, in the old days, could summon an Emissary from the Web Star to request of Ariachne a boon; generally a tweak of destiny to ensure glory or fortune, typically at an outrageous price. It's never been quite ascertained whether or not an Emissary was its own distinct creature, a single creature capable of being in multiple places, or even just a mortal temporarily 'enhanced' through Ariachne's gifts.

Either way, the sighting of an Emissary on Eternia is rarely ever a good thing.
