Horsemen of the Apocalypse Lore

Introduction
The Cosmos is filled with breathtaking and wonder of untold mystery. Just one of many life bearing worlds in existence. Technological advancements are too primitive to provide sufficient answers to the myriad of questions, so the unknown is shrouded in lore about the mystic and divine. Ancient texts and manuscripts tell legends of powerful deities, beings with abilities that haven't been seen or heard in the last century. The elderly share tales from their past of these mysterious occurences, but lack of recent evidence has steered these legends to be thought of as mere fairy tales or fanciful bedtime stories for children to enjoy. However, this all changed twenty years ago. Evil creatures appeared, and natural disasters with them. The need for adventuring heroes has begun. Thwarting these monsters and protecting the weak became the most noble of causes. The belief in deities and ancient lore started to resurface, in an attempt to provide answers to this changing world. Once a year, the three moons around the planet align in a lunar eclipse, and beautiful auroras can be seen all around the world. During this, there is a week long festival, and evil seems to be hindered and there is rejoicing across the land. But on the fifth annual eclipse, a terrible being appeared, and massive destruction followed in its wake. A pattern began to emerge. Every fifth year, another being appeared, and they have been calling themselves Horsemen. Each creature has been progressively more powerful than the last. Time is drawing near to the 20th Annual Lunar Festival. The ruler of the lands has assembled the most powerful adventurers in the land in preparation for the next Horsemen. An elite group of four stand above the rest. Can these adventurers work together to unlock the mysteries of the divine before evil gains a stronghold and destroys the world? Present ideology may not provide the answers. Forgotten secrets from the past may be needed to unlock to truth to what is happening in the Cosmos.
