the Norns; Uror, Verdandi, and Skuld
In Norse mythology, the Norns—Urd (or Uror, representing the past), Verdandi (the present), and Skuld (the future)—are three powerful female beings who dwell beneath the World Tree, Yggdrasil, by the well of Urd (Urdarbrunnr). These sisters are the ultimate arbiters of destiny, ceaselessly weaving the tapestry of fate for all beings, from gods and giants to men and dwarfs, determining the duration and quality of every life. They nourish Yggdrasil by watering its roots from the sacred well and etch the destinies of creation into its wood using powerful runes, serving as the cosmic force that ensures the inevitable unfolding of time and events toward Ragnarök.
