It is for Atropos, to decide how long you live, and when you die! I hould your Life's Thread in my hand, Arak, and when i cut it, with a single motion, this faithful Ker will dispatch you most gladly!

—Lakhesis

The Thread of Life was an ancient magical item used by the Fates to weave the fate of mortals.

History

Arrowverse

Loom of Fate

In ancient times, free will was spread on Earth-1 as the Greek Goddess, Clotho and the Enchantress destroyed the Loom of Fate and its pieces were scattered across many realities in the Multiverse, until the crisis coalesced all the pieces onto one Earth. So Lachesis and Atropos managed to reassamble the Loom of Fate and used it to rewrite the Earth-Prime reality to establish a regime where free will doesn't exist anymore, but they were eventually defeated by the Legends and the Loom was destroyed.
