The name
Why The Huld
Huld is a seeress from the Norse sagas. In Snorri’s saga of the Ynglings, a queen sends for her when a king breaks his promise to come home, and he meets his end in a nightmare. Her name shares a root with the Old Norse word for hidden, like the hulder, the hidden woman of Scandinavian forests. Hidden worlds, broken promises and a touch of danger: it felt like the right name for a place to find your next world.
