A type of magical thread that isn't just meant for weaving, but to wield the greater forces of nature such as time, life, destiny, or fate. This stems from the Fates of Ancient Greek mythology, or more specifically the Moirai, a group of three elderly women who spin, measure, and cut the Thread of Life. According to Wikipedia, the actual myth is that each of the three Fates have different names and roles, with Clotho spinning the Thread of Life shortly before a person's birth, then Lachesis measuring it to determine what happens during that person's life, and then Atropos cutting it to determine how they die. In fiction, it is usually referred to as the Thread of Fate rather than its original name, likely referring to the more mysterious, omnipotent nature of fate and destiny rather than the concepts of life and death, which also leaves room for more creativity on what the individual threads actually do. If they aren't responsible for a person's life, generally they function as a Cosmic Keystone where messing with them could mean altering time or the fate of the universe, therefore wielding these threads is to screw with destiny itself. Though if cutting them does cause death like it does in the original myth, expect someone to try to avert that fate for either themselves or someone else. Or if a tragedy has already happened, expect them to try to Set Right What Once Went Wrong. A Master of Threads may also try to fight with them in combat, though it's more common to see them in the responsible hands of The Weird Sisters instead just like in the myth. Regardless, expect Textile Work Is Feminine and Needlework Is for Old People to appear at some point since it's often elderly women who are doing the weaving. While similar in both name and theming, they actually have no relation to the Red String of Fate due to different mythical origins. As a result, identifying which one is being used in a story is heavily dependent on which myth is being referenced. See Tomes of Prophecy and Fate for when books can control the future. See Soul Jar for when a character's life essence is bound to an object, often requiring the "jar" to be destroyed in order to get rid of them permanently. For when the threads of fate are cut before they can even be fulfilled, see Thread of Prophecy, Severed. Not to be confused with Plot Threads, which refer to story plotlines, though it'd be wise not to forget or abandon any of them since it would leave the fates of certain characters hanging. For the video game, go here. Given how these threads heavily tie into life and death, or just a character's ultimate fate in a story, this is considered a Death Trope so spoilers are unmarked. |

Grandmother Spider's job was to weave the web of fate, but she rebelled against this role and became a Trickster God. She still has the Fate domain. | |
