The nightmares of your dreams come to life-or-death, when the Norn's come to visit. Urd ("what has happened"), Verdandi ("what is happening") and Skuld ("what should happen") are three Norns's who create and control the fates of Men and Gods alike. To those who believed in the Nordic Gods, the three Norns were all powerful and unassailable.
.
Be it by casting of wooden lots, the carving and throwing of Runes or the weaving of the cloth of life, the Norn's determined the fate of every human and the gods they worshiped.
Once their fates were decided, no power could change the outcome.
All one could do was decide how they would live their life and face their eventual fate.
Malice was never an issue with the Norn's, theirs was a duty to perform and they were very good at it.
With one fate decide, it is time to cast the lot for the next...a never-ending task for the Norn's.
