Strong and hardy, Nords are famous for their resistance to cold and their talent as warriors. 'Citizens of Skyrim, they are a tall and fair-haired people. Nords comprise the majority of the Stormcloaks, as well as the majority of the population of Skyrim. They issue a battle cry to make their enemies flee for a short time. They captain and crew the merchant fleets of many regions, and may be found all along Tamriel's coasts. Nords are also naturally superior at sea, and have benefited from nautical trade since their first migrations across the sea from Atmora. They thrive in the cold, reminiscent of their native Atmora, and are known as a militant people by their neighbors. Above all else in Nord culture is the quest for honor and glory, and a great emphasis is placed on family values. Eager to augment their martial skills beyond the traditional methods of Skyrim, they excel in all manner of warfare. They are enthusiastic warriors, and act as soldiers, mercenaries, merchants and blacksmiths all over Tamriel. They are tall (standing at a scale of 1.03), fair-haired and pale-skinned humans from Atmora who are known for their incredible resistance to cold and even magical frost. Nords are a race that were led to Skyrim by Ysgramor.
