Norns are figures from Norse mythology, often depicted as three goddesses responsible for fate and destiny. They are named Urd (representing the past), Verdandi (the present), and Skuld (the future). These beings weave the threads of life, determining the fates of gods and humans alike. Norns are typically associated with a well near the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, where they shape the destinies that influence the cosmos. Their roles emphasize the belief in predetermined fate and the interconnectedness of time within Norse culture.
