The three Norns — Urðr, Verðandi, and Skuld — dwell at the Well of Urðr beneath Yggdrasil, where they carve runes of fate and water the World Tree to keep it from rotting.
Skuld is numbered among the Valkyries in the Völuspá, the youngest Norn who also rides to choose the slain on the battlefield, linking the weaving of fate to the harvest of the dead.
