I'd go for that. What Michael said.
Furies tie in really well to the wheel of time world, which is all about balance and neutrality. They are concerned with disruptions in the natural order which probably explains the source of their abilities.
I dont think anyone would call Hurin particularly fearsome, although the furies were described as such -- but that could be attributed to the fact that only three names of individual women have survived the eons, therefore, the personality of furies could simply be attributed to the personalities of these three in particular.
Which now i'm wondering, could there be male Furia? Or would they be something else? The saidin to saidar, the male version of the same thing. If there is a separate male version, are they called something else? Furia "sounds" fairly feminine after all.
