The Norns in Norse mythology (or Moirai - in Greek mythology) are female beings who rule the destiny of gods and men. They roughly correspond to other controllers of humans' destiny.
Their names are Urd, Verdandi and Skuld. They dwell within the Well of Urd beneath Yggdrasil, the great ash tree that stands at the center of the universe and holds the Nine Worlds in its branches and roots. They shape destiny by carving runes into the trunk of the tree, or, in some sagas and poems, by weaving destiny like a web or tapestry.
