Editing Four Horsemen (section)

==In the Bible==
The '''original''' Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were unnamed, as they were just mentionned once and served as general allegories for the things they represented (duh). They came in a specific order, as the arrival of one would sometimes (or definetely) announce the arrival of another. The pecking order was:

* '''Conquest''', ''Rider of the White Horse''; Yes, you read that right. Conquest. Or he's Christ himself perhaps. Or the Antichrist. Or just the embodiment of mankind's folly to wage for war or look for conflict, the unquenchable lust for power and control. And he's all that at the same time. [[What|Or he's the Roman Empire personified]]. He's a lot of things. He came armed with a bow and dressed with perhaps a robe or a victor's crown. But usually, he's the one who started shit. Empires would crumble or shake, wars would break out. 
**'''Pestilence''', ''The Other Rider of the White Horse''; Yeah, so as it turns out, people began to replace Conquest with Pestilence, the bringer of illness and plague. Either reinterpreted as a mankind's lack of power before the plague or an outbreak, or the manifestation of doom and bad fate spreading across the land. Just as much of a mixbag like his brother Famine.
* '''War''', ''Rider of the Red Horse''; This mad lad came trotting with a goddamn sword. And he means business. You might be wondering, "If Conquest brings War, then what does War bring?". And to that, we'll say... Maybe even more war, but more likely is that he breaks everything that is orderly, he completely cancels peace. People go mad and start picking fights with just about anyone they come across. Whereas Conquest sparked conflict over petty interests and between factions, [[Khorne|War just wants pure utter chaos]]. With the mess that he creates, this usually follows...
* '''Famine''', ''Rider of the Black Horse''; The dude who makes everyone starve. The great equalizer. He who decides who lives and who dies. Seen coming to town with a balance in his hands. He delivers justice... Or hunger. Some people depict him as a symbol of oppression, of the death of freedom as a whole. Some prefer to represent him as the natural instincts of humans kicking in, transforming desires into needs. Blinding them with their obsession of possessing. Famine is a lot of things. 
* '''Death''', ''Rider of the Pale Horse''; Death, straight up. Bringing the final destruction of all empires, reaping the people who's soul are doomed to die. 'Nuff said.

Over the years, people have added supplementary riders to the gang, or even straight out modified some.
