The Horsemen

**The Horsemen of the Apocalypse**, known simply as **The Horsemen**, is the personifications of War, Pestilence, Famine, and Death. They are a group of NPCs appearing in the CloverCraft SMP Season Two.

## History

Prior to arriving on Holiday Island, their history is unknown, though it was cited by Xera, Horacio and Clark that they are at least somewhat familiar to their biblical legends.

The Horsemen first arrived on the island following the islanders bringing The Neighbor back to life. Seemingly, the entity known as Bemery had been keeping the Horsemen at bay for some time.

War was the first Horseman to be found, raiding the Jester's Tower. Several denizens of the island stood and fought off the massive wave of Illagers, exhausting themselves as they did it. Only to find that Pestilence was near Port Town.

After a long, exhausting battle in multiple parts, the group finally dispatched Pestilence and set forth to find Famine. The group found Famine in a hidden alcove under the church, but was quickly dispatched by the group.

For a time after that, the final member of the Horsemen did not appear. That is, until Penny was finally able to resurrect The Creature, an act that quickly gathered Death's attention and brought forth his wrath to the island.

## Members

### War

**War** was the first member of the Horsemen to be found by Clark and Xerana. He was found in front of the Jester's tower hiding in the snow. The group quickly ganged up on him, save for NULL, who was advocating War to be captured instead, and slew him as a team.

However, War himself was not the full threat, as his battalion of Ravangers, Illagers, and Witches proved to prolonged the raid, exhausting everyone.

War was color coded to be red and took the appearance of an Illager riding a horse in red armor. Unlike the others, the horse perished along side the rider.

### Pestilence

**Pestilence**, nicknamed **Lence**, was the second member of the Horsemen to be found by NULL. He was found near the Port Town. Pestilence proved to be extremely difficult to dispatch. This was due to Pestilence taking out people and stealing their stronger armor, and his creative ways of using the army of silverfish. Eventually he was dispatched, but not before the silverfish had dug their way well into the depths of the island.

Pestilence was color coded to be green. Pestilence took the form of a stray in green armor riding a Zombie Horse. The horse was saved and taken in by Null under the name 'Pesto'.

### Famine

**Famine** was the third member of the Horsemen and was found by B-3-11. He was in a secret cave deep under the OWL Church. Famine was quickly dispatched by the group through repeatedly sticking Famine to the stalactites found through the cave.

Famine was color coded to be yellow. Famine took the form of a skeleton in yellow armor riding a donkey named 'Hungy'. Hungy was saved by Xerana, and a second Hungy was found in in the cave by NULL, as Famine is really hungry. Both donkeys where taken by Null.

### Death

**Death** was the fourth member of the horsemen. Uniquely, Death never made a physical appearance but his presence was felt. Following Death being summoned by Penny resurrecting the Creature, the island seemed to be cast in a permanent dusk and everyone one the island felt weaker than before.

Death was color coded to be purple.
