Nords

Nords are a race of humans whose ancestors originated from Atmora. Their ancestors, the Atmorans, cross-bred with the Nedes, creating the Nords. The are descendants of the Wandering Ehlnofey, Lorkhan and Kyne used the Wandering Ehlnofey to create men, if he had not done this men would have men would have never existed and they would have devolved into animals, pants or monsters. Nords also used to have similar lifespans to that of the Mer, but the Nordic god of mortality, Orkey, used Alduin to shorten the lifespan similar to what is seen is real life humans. Nords are light skinned and usually have light colored hair. They are some the best warriors in all of Tamriel. They are very good with two handed weapons and heavy armor. They have a very strong sense of honor. Many of them believe that Tiber Septim was a Nord, but that hasn't been confirmed. They believe when they die that they go to Sovngarde, a realm controlled by Shor where honorable nords that have faught courageously in battle, or have done good for their people, go to die. They have been a part of the Empire since the Second Era up until some left and joined the Stormcloak Rebellion in the Fourth Era. During the Second Era they were the leading race of the Ebonheart Pact.
