Descripción
Bring ruin, scarcity, and suffering, draining life from all around you
When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come". I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not damage the oil and the wine" — Revelation, 6:5-6
Theme: This pact embodies deprivation and decay, spreading hunger and weakening foes.
Playstyle: A debuff-focused subclass that saps the strength of enemies while bolstering resilience.
The third Horseman rides a black horse and is popularly understood to be Famine, as the Horseman carries a pair of balances or weighing scales (Greek ζυγόν, zugón), indicating the way that bread would have been weighed during a famine. The rider is typically portrayed as an emaciated man. Other authors interpret the third Horseman as the "Lord as a Law-Giver", holding Scales of Justice.
