The Nords are a race of tall and fair-haired humans from Skyrim. They are enthusiastic warriors, and act as soldiers and mercenaries all over Tamriel. Eager to augment their martial skills beyond the traditional methods of Skyrim, they excel in all manner of warfare. They thrive in the cold, reminiscent of their native Atmora , and are known as a militant people by their neighbors. Nords are natural seamen, and have benefited from nautical trade since their first migrations across the sea from Atmora. They captain and crew the merchant fleets of many regions, and may be found all along Tamriel's coasts.

Many aspects of Nordic culture and belief appear to have been inspired by the real-world Norse and similar peoples. Their views on the afterlife, as seen in Sovngarde, a Reexamination, shows some basic spiritual similarities between real-world and Tamrielic philosophies.
