Question
In the Völuspá, a völva states that these three figures engraved their names on a wooden tablet. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this group made up of Urðr ("URR-thur"), Verðandi ("VER-thun-dee"), and Skuld, three goddesses who weave the threads of fate.
ANSWER: Norns [or Nornir]
[10e] The Norns also ensure the health of this object. To gain knowledge of the runes, Odin hung himself from this world tree for nine days and nine nights.
ANSWER: Yggdrasil [accept Hoddmímis holt or Mímameiðr]
[10h] The third of the Norns, Skuld, is described as holding one of these objects that represents another role. Two members of a group sometimes named in English for these objects, Göndul and Skögul, are sent to choose who should join Odin as einherjar ("ayn-HAIR-yahr") in the Hákonarmál.
ANSWER: shields [accept shieldmaidens or shield-goddesses; prompt on valkyries by asking "what object are they alternatively named for?"]
