Klothys

Klothys's History

Klothys is the God of Fate and Destiny on Theros. She is associated with red and green mana. She has a mask on either side of her face, which implies she's a goddess with three aspects. Her long hair twists around her horns. She holds a large distaff with a spear-like tip in her left hand, which is laden with strands of her hair. In her right hand, she dangles a suspended spindle, which she uses to spin her gathered hair into the threads of fate. Her eyes are covered to signify that Destiny is blind and impartial. Her thumb has a sharp golden nail to cut the threads of fate. She, alongside Kruphix, is one of the oldest gods.

Long ago, the titans had been sealed away in the Underworld by the combined might of the gods, and it was Klothys who volunteered to serve as their eternal jailer. While Erebos ruled his realm beyond death, Klothys acted as an eternal seal to ensure the titans remained imprisoned.

The aftermath of Xenagos’ ascension to godhood, his death, and the death of Elspeth had revealed a disturbing reality: the gods were replaceable. As war broke out among the gods themselves, Erebos was consumed by his hatred of Heliod, and so Erebos began to lose control of the souls of his realm.

When countless souls dared defy fate to reverse their deaths, Klothys was livid. In reaction to all those who sought to reverse their deaths, Klothys dispatched numerous Agents of Fate to ensure they did not succeed. These Agents wielded Klothys's thread in pursuit of their goals. To properly deal with the soul of the Planeswalker Elspeth Tirel, a special agent would be needed. For this task, Klothys created Calix. As the God of Destiny's greatest masterpiece, Calix was solely created to carry out the will of Klothys.
