Neord

The neord are a hardy, tribal folk of northern Thesoldor. Since the dawn of mankind the neords have occupied the tundra and arctic wastes, living in tribes and clans. Never in all this time have the neords banded together long enough to form a lasting realm, instead, strife and hot-headedness prevailed and plunged the neords into yet another war. The neords are tough and warlike, prefer brawn over methodology and follow many ancient customs and religious practices.
