Nordlings, also called Northmen or simply Northerners by the Imperials, are the Men who live in the wild and untamed expanses of [[Northrim]], above [[Achaean Empire|Achaea]]. They are known as hardy folk and fearsome warriors.
==Appearance==
Nordlings have fair skin; blond, brown, or red hair; and, generally, blue or green eyes. Darker complexions are rare. They are among the tallest races of men, and most have strength and hardiness to match.
==Culture==
Unlike the [[Achaeans|Achaeans]] to their south, the civilizations of Nordlings are divided into [[Northrim tribes|various tribes, kingdoms, and clans]], each with their own unique cultures. Achaeans view Northmen as barbaric and savage, but this is a sweeping generalization. Although some tribes are indeed savage and uncivilized, numerous Nordling clans are highly developed and prosperous civilizations. The [[Bjornings]] are among the foremost of these, with the [[Frost Ravens]] providing a prime example of the opposite. The [[Wulfings]] are known for their powerful shamans and connections to the spirit realm. Generally speaking, Nordlings have a warlike culture, but their ties of brotherhood are often strong, and many of them abide by a code of honor that extends hospitality to all guests in need.
==Religion==
A proud and warlike people, the Nordlings worship the [[Aesir]] and the [[Vanir]]. Most Nordlings worship the Aesir, with prime deities including [[Odin]], [[Thor]], and many others. They believe in the glory of battle, seeking to die in combat in order to join their gods in [[Valhalla]] and prepare for [[Ragnarok]], the end of the world as men know it. In order to stave off Ragnarok, the most zealous Nordlings devote themselves to fighting against the [[Chaos Races]] to weaken the armies of [[Surtur]] and help prevent, or at least delay, the end of the world.
