Norn

In Norse mythology, any of three goddesses of fate: Urd, goddess of the past; Verdandi, goddess of the present; and Skuld, goddess of the future. They fixed the destiny of every child at birth.

The Nords dwelt at Urd's Well, the Fountain of Youth, at one of the roots of Yggdrasil, the giant ash tree which held together the Nine Worlds. The tree drew its strength from the well, and was constantly watered by its guardians.
