Os Nords são os filhos do céu, uma raça de humanos altos e de cabelos claros de Arcéu, e são conhecidos pela incrível resistência ao frio e gelo mágico. São guerreiros ferozes, fortes e entusiasmados, e muitos se tornam renomados guerreiros, soldados e mercenários por toda Tamriel. Ansiosos por aumentar as habilidades marciais além dos métodos tradicionais de Arcéu, eles ficam bons em todas as formas de guerra, e são conhecidos por seus vizinhos por serem combatentes. Nords também são marujos naturais, e são beneficiados pelo comércio marinho desde suas primeiras migrações de Atmora. Eles compõem e comandam muitas embarcações mercantis, e podem ser encontrados por todas as costas de Tamriel.

Gameplay
Nord skill bonuses lend toward a more combat-oriented style of play. With both one and two-handed weapons receiving boosts, players are able to choose their favorite weapon(s) with a bit more ease, and boosts to both light armor and blocking provides players both mobility and defense.
The Nord Battle Cry power can be vital at earlier levels, causing enemies to flee long enough for the player to potentially recover.
Their innate resistance to Frost provides them a significant advantage against foes such as the draugr, frost dragons, ice wraiths, and mages who employ Frost magic. If a Nord player decides to become a vampire, they will reach the maximum frost resistance possible. (85%)
