The World Ash Tree of Yggdrasil was the axis of the earth. Only the waters of the well of Urd could keep it alive, and if it withered, the world would be destroyed. So three norns, female figures of destiny, watered it every day with the waters and sandy clay of Urd. Are you a leaf on that tree, a bird with a nest in its bark, a creature with a warren in its roots or even one of the eternal norns? What is the relationship between the tree and the sea? Set the scene - tell us more!
