Haha, ok then "Asian-like" Races, you know what I mean.

Being Japanese I can't really connect with of the Elder Scrolls races. But I usually just play Imperial.

the tsaeci are called serpent men, but im sure thats a misnomer for asian.
akavir has men and beast races. so i think the tsaesci are the men.

I'm not sure besides the actual Nordic countries (obviously) constitute Nords. Do we include Celtic people into the Nord category? What about other Germanic groups such as the English, Dutch, and Germans? Also, what about the Slavs, are they Nords? Some people say they are Breton, but what does that mean? I would say a "Breton" in the real world would be French people and maybe some English people (maybe Welsh too), but I don't know what other people think. Since Imperials have a lot of Roman influence, I would believe the Imperials are Mediterranean people.

Anyways, from what I know, my biggest ancestry is German, but I do have British and Polish in me too as far as I know. I know I have Viking ancestors from my British ancestry. I have blond hair and blue eyes, but I'm not super tall. What would I be grouped in?

Actually German decent does not mean you would be tall that is a cultural fopah, I myself am only 5 foot 9 inches and am almost fullblooded german from lower germany and can trace my lineage clear back to the franks it all depends on what tribe you decended from originally the tall german rumor came from propaganda (wwII ) and from romans freaking when we swept down on them with a lot of swedes among us lol

I am British and living in Spain, and this only counts because this thread has wandered into a discussion of nationalities and away from Nords, but being a moderator I can close this thread.
