Valkyrie, Skuld the Lamenter of the Future/Trivia


 * This card is derived from Skuld, who is a Norn, a female being that decide the fates of all other beings. Skuld is known as being one of the three giantess Norns who reside at the roots of the sacred tree Yggdrasil, weaving the threads of fate. Her name is derived from the Old Norse "skulla", which means "that which will occur". Which is fitting, given that she rules over the "future" aspect of fate. She is unique for being a Norn that is also a Valkyrie, a female servant of Odin that brings the souls of great warriors to him in the paradise Valhalla.
