“The Nornirs: Urd, the guardian of the past; Verdandi, the observer of the present; and Skuld, the keeper of the future, are the goddesses of destiny and time. The sisters are aware that the seal that holds Ragnarök has been broken and the age of the gods is beginning to end.”

“The three norns are seen in the background next to the Yggdrasil tree. They are dressed in simple and very dark clothes, almost like peasant women. Their faces are low and sad. Urd points her finger in the direction of Skuld.”
