The Feast of the Norns
What has been. What is. What shall be. Urdr, Verdandi, and Skuld invite you to their Hall beneath the boughs of Yggdrasil for meals which celebrate the past, the present, and the future of SCA cooking.
Among the mythical figures of the Norse Pantheon, none are so entwined with humanity as the trio of the Norns. Mysterious figures present at the birth of all humans, the Norns (similar to the Fates of Greek mythology) were spinners & weavers who determined the fate of each individual from the moment they first drew breath. For Ymir 51, the Norns are coming together to weave together a set of sumptuous repasts for the populace of Atlantia!
The role of Urdr (What Has Been) is being embodied by Lady Margot LeClerc. The role of Verdandi (What Is) is being embodied by Lady Rose Green. The role of Skuld (What Shall Be) is being embodied by Noble Grissel Dhai.
