Tamriel talk:Nord

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

What's the source for that Anthropology section? Is it from an in-game book? It's weird how it's totally contradictory with in-game stats. It says they out-compete Imperials, Redguards in intelligence while Oblivion puts them equal to Redguards and lower than Imperials. Khajiit and Argonians, too, are equal or higher in INT than any human race except Bretons. The page also states Nords are one of the least agile races aside from Orcs, yet they have better agility in the game than the Imperials and Bretons and are equal to the Dark Elves and High Elves.

[edit] Umm...?

Yeah, this is a little odd. The Redguard article says they compete with the smartest of the Nords. This one says they are smarter than Redguards.

Funny. Pogrom mentioned in text is a russian word.

Originally, yes. But it's a perfectly valid English word now. [1].

[edit] Basis

I know it's speculated that the Imperials were based off of the Romans and Bretons with the French, but are Nords inspired by anything? --Darth NANAME 17:01, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

Um, Vikings? Given that they were raiders before settling in Skyrim... Also, most names in Bloodmoon are either directly Scandinavian or Nordic sounding. --Benould^•T•C 17:18, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

That was what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure if I had missed something.--Darth NANAME 17:28, 14 June 2008 (EDT)
