In-Game Description
Citizens of Skyrim, they are a tall and fair-haired people.  Strong and hardy, Nords are famous for their resistance to cold. They are highly talented warriors.

Gameplay
Nords are hardy, robust warriors that have strong bonuses to Blade, Blunt and Heavy Armor. These bonuses make Nords very naturally talented warriors. Also, they have a +5 to Restoration, making it worth considering adding Restoration if you are making a combat class. However, they are poorly suited to any more magic skills as they have lowered Intelligence and Willpower (in males).

Their traits can be made use of in any classes, but their Nordic Frost power requires touch so is best used by warriors.

Enemy Nords will generally be encountered as Marauders (including Marauder Warlords), clad in heavy armor and wielding long blades. Among the vampires, the Barbarians, Bards, and Knights are Nords. Nords share the same voices as Orcs.
