Step 2 of 8 · Fate, Time and the Norns
The Norns: Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld
Why this step
Völuspá tells of three maidens, Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld, who come from beneath the tree. The entry notes that translations differ over whether this is a hall or a lake. In Gylfaginning the Norns tend the tree, pouring water and the clay around the well over it so that its branches do not rot.
From the Lorebook
Three figures tied to the tree and its well.
