The Nora first popped up as a primitive race in the Bernardland (for now) region of Eleanor. The Nora were first sighted in the region when the Aquatanian-Wolfinburg Commonwealth was in control of the area under King Myers. When the Nora had first encountered the citizens of the Aquatanian-Wolfinburg Commonwealth they were friendly to the new peoples as the Nora survived off of farms they had created due to their technologically advanced society compared to other primates. They Nora began to trade with the people of the Aquatanian-Wolfinburg Commonwealth while the kingdom was around and in time of war some Nora would even go to help the Aquatanian-Wolfinburg Commonwealth and defend their homeland. After a load of pressure on Leon from governing the new kingdom decides that the First Kingdom of Eleanor should enter The Forge as its 4th region. While under control of the Forge the Nora still communicated with the humans and new citizens yet refused to help with wars. The Nora under The Forge the Nora began to evolve past the point of primitives to where they were seen on the same equality as regular humans. After achieving the same respect humans had Nora began to move across the Eleanor Realm and begin setting up multiple Nora communities within the region to increase their population. While Nora populations were increasing in the Eleanor Realm their population declined in the other realms of The Forge due to their lacking of aid from fellow Nora in the regions. With all of the Nora eventually living in the Eleanor Realm they began to create their own society of people to rise in the ranks of the world.
