So your planning a fantasy campaign and want to have something grand going on in the background. Perhaps to include a prophesy and you decide to do "The 4 Fantasy Horsemen of the Apocalypse". Unicorn and Pegasus come to mind as well as hippogriff and nightmare mounts. The hippogriff is perhaps not a good mount. But it could also could be the 4 riders of the storm and one of them could be a wyvern.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

So as events happen in the Fantasy world it triggers a rider showing up. Some great evil has befallen a primordial forest and this triggers a dryad queen or some similar wood spirit riding out on a unicorn to strike the waters of human realms in retribution. Later a valkerie style spirit shows up on a Pegasus bringing lightning and hurricane winds. The causes of woe are linked to the leaders of the human realms and the PCs would be trying to fix things or even just survive them if they are not the goodie 2 boots hero types.

Eventually there will be the wyvern rider and the nightmare rider and one of these will be opening the portal to another plane of existence and unleashing hordes of undead or whatever into the world of the PCs. It's about the time between rider #2 and #3 that the PCs should discover the prophesy if not before. Early clues to the prophesy would be after rider #1 a mad village idiot npc would be shouting about the room to come.
