• The Story of the Norns Aug 7, 2025

  

  At the very heart of all existence, where the roots of Yggdrasil the World Tree drink from the sacred wells that nourish all life, there dwells the most mysterious and powerful of all divine beings. They are the Norns—three sisters who weave the fates of gods and men, spinning the threads of destiny on looms that stretch from the beginning of time to its very end.

  The eldest sister is Urd, whose name means “Fate” or “That which was.” She is ancient beyond measure, old when the world was young, and in her weathered hands rest all the threads of the past. Her hair is white as winter snow, and her eyes hold the wisdom of countless ages. She remembers every choice ever made, every consequence ever born, and every thread of causation that has led to the present moment.
