The Kingdom of Nords, a newly settled Kingdom of Vikings and Sea Raiders from Nordland, which lays far across the sea to the North. Originally hired as mercenaries to fight against the then newly invading Khergits, the Nords have since then stayed in the North of Calradia and formed a Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Nords is ruled by King Ragnar and lies in the Northern part of Calradia along the Northern sea coast of Calradia. It borders the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Vaegirs, and as thus often goes to war on two fronts.
The Nords are Vikings style Sea Raiders. They live along the sea coast and as thus are forced to rely on hunting and fishing as opposed to farming. This leads to their diet being one of primarily fish and meat, leading to strong and hardy warriors who are used to braving the sea and who've been raised on a very rich diet. Nord lands also border rich forests, leading to them possessing very fine quality shields, axes and spears.
Nord forests are home to Elves and a variety of magical beasts, although the Nords have earned the animosity of the Elves through their destructive practices and warlike behaviour towards them.
Nord Mages are taught shapeshifting magic, which allows them to transform into the form of any animal, be it Bear, Eagle, Raven, Wolf or Horse, any animal for any purpose. Nord Mages are also taught magic that bolsters the physical strength of Nord troops when needed, although the magic is only for a few moments and used for crucial battles.
Nord armies field the best offensive Heavy Infantry in Calradia, their shock Infantry can tear through just about any opposing formation of Infantry in melee.
Nords culture is Viking culture.
King Ragnar rules the Nords.
