The devs seem to have a fondness for the name "Urd". I have a "Well of Urd", province of "Urd", and a Seithkona named "Urd".

Now we just need ...

The Urn of Urd (D1, prevents being Raised)
Gird of Urd (N3, wyrmskin pelt grants regen & water-breathing, itches in hot climes [-1 def], shrinks when wet [1/2 att & def])
Herd of Urd (N3, summons a dozen trampling elk)
Bird of Urd (size 6 Roc commander, fond of eating horses and isn't picky about whether they have riders on them already)
T*rd of Urd (B2, diseases target)
Wyrd of Urd (N5, area-effect curse)

Urd is one of the three nornas in norse myth, and she did posess a well or a spring, hence the Jotun/Vanheim name Urd and the Well of Urd.

Edit: there might also be a couple of interesting possible etymological connotations with the word. Which makes it attractive to a swede.

Sigh. So much for my lame attempt at levity ...

Re: Urd fondness

You can look forward to mooses in the upcoming patch, however.

Re: Urd fondness

I was hoping for mooses! And bison, though I've kept that pretty secret.

Re: Urd fondness

You forgot...
- Heard of Urd (battle wound)
- Curd of Urd
- Lured by Urd
- Nerd of Urd (research bonus)

Moose? Cower in fear before my all moose mod!

Indeed. At least someone else here has a sense of humor. Thanks.

Curd of Urd, +5 supply, -1 def (lactose intolerance).

Nerd of Urd ... Jotunpunk mod researcher.

Lurid Urd, lowers enemy morale by 1 due to fear of bad art.

Lured by Urd, only usable vs. Pangaea, satyrs gain berserk but have -10 defense while distracted by sexy Jotun nymphs.
