Meliae

Maelia. As the world's original women, they were the mothers of humankind.
The Moirae
The Moirae are the Fates, the personification of the destiny of humans. The three
Moirae are Clotho, Atropos, and Lachesis. Clotho spins the thread at the beginning of
one's life, Atropos weaves the thread into the fabric of one's actions, and Lachesis
snips the thread at the conclusion of one's life. Gods as well as mortals have to submit
to the will of the Moirae.
