Ormsby= Pendragon, bravo Dan'l. Would not have occurred to me.
As to Parka, she is the "white spinner of destiny," and she operates on a
level above the Overcym because they too are subject to her. Under a variety
of names, she was worshiped over the entire European continent from Ireland
to Slovakia and unlike the Norns (who were "disir," or second-tier
immortals, along with the Valkyries etc.) she operated alone. If you want to
google her, try Berchta or Perchta or Holda. Here's a fairly good one on
Holda: http://www.thorshof.org/holda.htm You can probably do better.
Just to save you time, Forcetti= Forseti, a son of Baldur. The town is named
after him, like Washington. In both cases (as in others), Wolfe is simply
being cute with spelling.
