Nords

Descendants of the First Men, nords (also known as northmen) are a race of humans that are often born and raised in the Provinces of Noth. Other races such as dwarves and orcs have been known to attain the classification of being a nord.

Culture
Northmen are a harsh people, seemingly unapproachable to most outsiders. Those who get to know them find that they are even more caring than the typical midistari and that their way of life is much more interesting.

Most nords follow Vikken and Jørdan beliefs, and have little inclination for the newer religions of the south. Due to its religious aspect, most northmen refuse to take holy orders and thus cannot become anointed knights. Heraldry in Noth is much simpler than that in the south, showing the lesser influence that chivalry has had there. Nords hold honour in high regard, and many respect the beliefs inspired by Vikken belief such as Nīþing and those who disrespect the ideology behind this will likely be spat upon.

Due to their history with lunar elves during the Age of Catastrophe, they have a seemingly unwarranted resentment towards them.

Physicality
Northmen are often large in stature and have thick beards, long hair, and heavy cloaks of wool or fur.
