The Wyrd isn't a they. It's...a hard to explain concept. It can be translated as Fate, or Destiny, but those are too simplistic for it alone. Those terms also imply an active control, which there is and is not.
[This would make sense in a bit. Promise.]
The norns are beings who are of the Wyrd, in that they interpret it and potentially create it or manage it. There are different types of Norns, and one can be appointed to the position, but they are always female. There are three principle norns of legend though, who are the closest I'd say we had to gods the way other people do. Urdr, Verdandi, and Skuld.

Mind you, I'm no fan of the idea that my life and choices are not my own to make or control.

Then...a strong enough will must be able to write its own story, right? To make one's voice heard over the noise. It has to be possible.

[Loki had already made his view on it known; twice now even.]
As I've also said before, I see parts of myself within you, and would rather you not make some of the mistakes that I have.
