Urd fondness

[Arryn]

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 ...
