Who or what does the following riddle describe?

The end of one story, the start of another
The dark hour before the dawn
In robes of black we perform this ritual
An event many mourn
At the summit of Thoth we meet
And as the proceedings do begin
One life of each is signed away
We are cloaked in colours dim

  • $\begingroup$ Sorry, it may be a little late for a response to your comment but the reference to Thoth was extremely restrictive in the choice of possible answers. But anyway, I think it was a good first attempt. Keep up the good work. $\endgroup$
