Well, I'm from the Northern part of England (Newcastle), so I'd probably go with a Breton/ Nord for myself. ;)

u could be a form of Breton


Half Breton half Nord I guess. After all, northern Spain has always been a place with strong magical roots (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiga ).

I'm an American mutt, I honesty have no idea how many different ethnicities are in my family line, but there are a lot of them. I am pretty resistant to the cold, though. I haven't worn anything warmer than a thin leather jacket all winter.

Well, I'm a Kiwi, but I'm also half Dutch, 1/12 Belgian, like 1/100000 Maori (:P), a smidgen of English and French. Agh, I don't know, probably some sort of Breton/Imperial half breed. All I know is that I'm related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Henri_Sanson.

I consider myself one. I am originally from Northern England and still have family there. I also have Norwegian ancenstry four generations back.
My wife calls me a Nord, and I have a high tolerance for the cold.
Now, if I can only find my Thor's hammer pendent.

I'm part Swedish, I don't know if its an actual effect of being Swedish, but I'm more tolerant of the cold and heat than a lot of my friends, probably because I just try to ignore it instead of whining about it though. The other part of me is German.

I am a German/American if we talking about decent ... I was born in Deutchland, Munchen (Munich) to be exact, but am actually a 3rd gen American ( I was born in germany while my family was visiting relatives), but in the game I always start my first char as a Nord warrior type then usually my next is elven and magic user.

I'm Dominican, with roots from France & Africa (through Haiti), Corsica (now part of France), Spain, and mix of other nations I can't keep track of. I guess this makes me some kind of Redguard or something.

No, I do not. Many of my close friends are swedes working in Norway, and I get along very well with them.
Ethnically we are the same people, so I dont really mind :)

I'm Belgian, so that makes me either an Imperial or a Nord. More akin to an Imperial, I'd wager. Not a big fan of the cold, though drinking like a Nord is awesome.

75% Irish, 25% German for me, but I do look the part, and I love cold weather. I have a beard, that's starting to turn white, and I've always been interested in Northern European History. Can I be an honorary Nord?

Jeg er en ekte norsk torsk.

(I'm 110% Norwegian, in case you didn't understand my statement above.)

My mother has also been able to trace our family back to someone named Hellek who lived in Sandsv?r (a place in Norway) in the 1370's.


Maybe I'm going off topic here, but surely going back 600+ years we all have so many ancestors that you can't trace them back to a single region/country. Personally I'm Scottish, lived in Scotland my entire life and I don't know anyone in the immediate generations before me who hasn't been Scottish, but I think if I took it all the way back to the 14th century there'd be all kinds of different ancestors in there. I don't think it's really possible to be 100% anything.

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?
