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)http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif 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.

You can look forward to mooses in the upcoming patch, however.

I was hoping for mooses! And bison, though I've kept that pretty secret.

Curd of Urd, +5 supply, -1 def (lactose intolerance).

Nerd of Urd ... Jotunpunk mod researcher.

Lurid Urd, lowers enemy morale by 1 due to fear of bad art.

Lured by Urd, only usable vs. Pangaea, satyrs gain berserk but have -10 defense while distracted by sexy Jotun nymphs.

You know, that thing which boys do a lot of when thinking about us members of the fairer sex? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Let's not dwell on nitpicky matters of history, religion, or (Gods-forbid) politics, shall we? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

This is a humor thread. Now post something thread-related that's funny ... and that's an Urd-er! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Maybe a mod for that changes turmoil to dis-urd-orly conduct?
