High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Ur arbrunnr (Old Norse "Well of Ur r"; either referring to a Germanic concept of fate-ur r-or the norn named Ur r) is a well in Norse mythology. Ur arbrunnr is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both sources, the well lies beneath the world tree Yggdrasil, and is associated with a trio of norns (Ur r, Ver andi, and Skuld). In the Prose Edda, Ur arbrunnr is cited as one of three wells existing beneath three roots of Yggdrasil that reach into three distant, different lands; the other two wells being Hvergelmir, located beneath a root in Niflheim, and M misbrunnr, located beneath a root near the home of the frost j tnar. Scholarly theory and speculation surrounds the well.
