Urd

**Urd** is the **Norn of the Past** and the elder sister of Verdandi and Skuld. She is a goddess affiliated with the Pantheon of Asgard and one of the Three Platform goddesses within the 16th floor of the Obelisk.

## Personality

As seen in her attempts to manipulate Cha Yeon-woo using her ability to see his "past" and later during her conversation with Hermes, Urd is incredibly manipulative and uncaring towards mortals, viewing them as nothing more than her "Playthings" and would happily use her abilities to see their past to manipulate them for her own entertainment. This is seen where she admitted to having manipulated her Apostle Hepburn and her other subordinates in order to make them fall into a "Hole" where they could only trust her in order to use them for her own purposes after examining their pasts. Later Urd herself admitted that she found delight at looking into the past memories of those who have had particularly messy, tragic and painful pasts and was delighted to use them in order to manipulate them, with her stating that such individuals were her favorite kind of mortals.

Due to her having the ability to see a person's "fate", Urd is shown to have a very detached view of the lives of others due to believing that their lives are predestined and therefore, any decision made by them is useless and is ultimately something that she could use in order to manipulate and control someone for her purposes.

Like a majority ofnGods, Urd has shown to be incredibly vain and arrogant, with her viewing all mortals as beneath her. As seen with Yeon-woo, she took immense insult upon him brushing past her attempts to manipulate him. Later her pride would take serious damage upon being insulted and threatened by Hermes and being forced to back down and give into his demands due to their power difference.

As seen after being forced to back down from trying to claim Yeon-woo, Urd has a belief that if she could not "obtain" something, she should just break it to make sure that no one else gets it for themselves.

## Abilities

As a Goddess, Norn was stated to be a transcendent being possessing extreme amounts of power. As observed by Yeon-woo upon personally meeting her, Urd's overall power was so massive that it nearly suffocated him being in close proximity to her when he entered into her divine territory.

However, as shown and later confirmed by Yeon-woo when he increased his power, Urd's power, despite being massive, is inferior to the power of the likes of the major Gods of the other Godly Societies. As seen where Hermes was stated to easily eclipse Urd in terms of raw power and the Shedding of the Monkey King was stated to have power surpassing her own as well.

### Divine Territory

As a Goddess, Urd can create and encase an entire area in her Divine Power and transform it into her "territory". During Yeon-woo's visit into her temple and entering her chamber, Urd had transformed her chamber into her territory and turned it into what he could describe as a bottomless/endless black void dimension completely cut off from the outside world.

### Authorities

#### **Norn of the Past**

As one of the three Goddesses of Fate preceding over the "Past", Urd possess the divine and unique ability to peer into the "fate" of any individual she chooses, with her particularly possessing the power to look into the past history of anyone she wants and manipulate the past memories of anyone she desires. Urd herself showcased the ability to manipulate others by showing them their traumatic or tragic pasts when they are within the reach of her divine territory, using her powers to influence their psyche.

As stated by her, she even possess the ability to look into the past history and memories of even fellow Gods.

Like her two younger sisters, Urd also possess the ability to foretell and divine a persons fate due to her Authority over the "past".

### Apostle

* **Power:** Like all Gods, Urd can also empower any mortal Player she wishes with a skill that embodies her "concept" as a Goddess and grant them immense power.

### Platform Goddess

Uniquely to her and her younger sisters, Urd is one of the few gods that can actually physically leave the confines of the 98th Floor. This is seen where she and her two sisters would normally reside within the 16th Floor rather than the stay in the 98th Floor of the Obelisk and offer her ability to read the "fate" of any individual she desires to the Players within the lower floors.

However, despite having this privilege, the system of the Tower was also stated to have put several restraints on her while she is within the 16th Floor. As stated by Yeon-woo, Urd herself is only allowed to reside within the confines of her temple on the floor and even then she is restricted to her personal chamber and is forbidden and prevented from ever leaving it.

## Trivia

* Urd was stated to be visited the least out of the three goddesses within the 16th Floor when players wish to complete the floors trials. This was stated due to the majority of players disinterest in their pasts or their desire to leave it behind.
