Norrunn

Norr is a small but harsh mountainous country, found on the continent of Caisuth. It is mainly occupied by several different clans, who collectively are called ‘Norunn’. 
== Physiology ==
The harsh weather and setting of or Norr – the Norrunn tend to be much larger, well-built, and capable of withstanding attacks and situations which would leave most other humans severely injured or even dead. Most Norrunn males ranged between 210cm and 300cm tall, whilst Norrunn females range between 200cm and 270cm tall. Accompanied by their much taller sizes, they tend to quite easily build and refine muscle compared to other humans - which made them known for their abnormal strength. 
The trait that made them most famous is their ability to withstand physical trauma or events that would normally put a normal human left with a severe injury, critical state or even dead. It is not known exactly what allows the Norrunn to do this - however it seems to be an evolutionary development. 
Commonly nicknamed ‘half-giants’ by the rest of the world, they were prized members of any army or mercenary organisation that hired them. 
== Social Dynamics ==
=== Internal Social Interactions ===
Before they merged together in a modern society, the Norrunn were initially hundreds of different tribes and clans. Often at war with each other, some clans had formed bonds and connections with other tribes, which created villages and settlements as they slowly merged together. 
They believe that their purpose in life is to prove themselves, often through the means of combat or a great achievement of their physical capabilities. The leaders of the tribes and clans were often the strongest in battle, and who could provide the most for the tribe/clan. They believed that self-sufficiency and individual's skill was the most important thing. Competition and winning is always at the forefront of their minds, and a loss that left you alive was seen to be motivation for further improvement with competition being a necessity in life for this. An individual that couldn't improve was seen as an embarrassment. 
They believe that competition can only exist on an even field, and is something that measures one's talent, dedication, and effort.
