No, child, it is not Ragnarök... but a future far worse -- devoid of all hope -- if indeed that future falls in the hands of a madman with the power to inflict death arbitrarily at will! 
- —Urd[src]
Urd was one of the three Norns, better known as the Fates. Her domain is seeing the past of various beings.[2][3]
History
During the Fates/Norns' interactions with Brunnhilde, Urd appeared as a middle-aged woman with brown hair. She did most of the talking, while explaining visions of a grim future to the Valkyrie.[2] Skuld remained silent, and Urd did the talking for her.[2]
Attributes
Powers
In addition to her Norn powers, Urd also has:
- Retrocognition: The ability to see events of the past.[citation needed]
Abilities
- Allspeak: Thanks to the Allspeak, Asgardians can communicate in all of the languages of the Ten Realms, Earth's dialects, and various alien languages.[citation needed]
