Nord

For much of the year the northernmost reaches of the continent is a frigid,hostile land filled with savage beasts fighting for survival. Dire bears,arctic lions, winter wolves, snow rocs, wargs, ice trolls and more fightagainst each other and against the brutal elements for food and territory,and only the strongest live to see the coming of the spring melting. It isin these lands that the Nords, a proud and rugged subrace of humanity, maketheir homes. They are also the lands that hone their bodies and shape theirviews on life.Nords, like all of humanity, are an adaptable race, able to master any skillthey put their minds to. The harshness of their environment, however, givesthem little time for advanced culture and learning, so very few nords enterthe spellcasting professions. Those that do guide their tribal communitiesas shamans or seers. The brutality of their daily lives, on the other hand,has toughened the nords, giving them an endurance unmatched by any of theirweaker human cousins. It comes as no surprise, then, to find vast numbers ofwarriors among their ranks, many of them uncivilized barbarians but not afew working as mercenaries for foreign armies and as gladiators for sport.A nord's features and builds are the same as most humans, though they tendto be taller than their common brethren, and broader in shoulder. Nords varylittle in their hair and eye colors, generally being blonde- or red-hairedwith blue or grey eyes, while some have medium-to-light brown locks. Theirskin tones are light.+
