The Nords are a race of tall and fair-haired humans from Skyrim. They are strong, stubborn and exceptional warriors, being skilled in many weapons and armor styles. They are also highly resistant to frost, and are very enthusiastic for war and brutality. Furthermore, Nords are good sailors, with well established trade links along all the rivers and coasts of Tamriel.

[edit] Ideal Character

Obviously, Nords are primarily combat-based, so their skills are anything but synergistic with each other. That doesn't mean they can't be unique, though. Nords seem to be tough characters, willing to suffer some scars in each engagement. More accurately, Nords focus on magical resistance while using combat in their main lifestyle. This essentially makes them a combat equivalent to Bretons. Rather than having a bonus to magical skills, you're given a variety of options for how to work your character. This also means it can be easier to focus your character's development than as a Breton.
