Hi,

in the minds of contemporary people they were.

Dvergr, alfar, tursar(giants) and many other mythical beings were REAL for the Scandinavians then and for the Icelanders even now.

Well... just because she can't grow hair on her face, doesn't mean she can't grow hair... somewhere else?

her head?

Thats Icelanders for ya, lol

Mythology itself gets what is real and we all have grown up and feel a sense of pride or identity of descending from (knights, gladiators, samurai, rogues etc) and places them into a realm that exaggerates the truth and stretches the imagination to something almost magical.


I think all successful fantasy gets ancient mythology from a round the world and placing it on an alien planet. fantasy that doesn't do this seems to be short lived or only appeals to a select. I think we need to identify it in some way to our own real world.

Member of the Companions.
Stormcloak or Empire (Honestly doesn't matter because both have pro's and con's as a Nord).
Ancient Nord Armour with no enchants.
No Magic (Maybe restoration if you want, all Nords need healers).
Wuuthrad.

While I think the whole concept is ridiculous and arrogant, here's a more serious answer
1. Take a side in the civil war (doesn't matter which. Plenty of True Nords? are loyal to the Empire)
2. Just drink Nord Mead. Skooma makes your belly bleed, Cyrodilic Brandy is too fruity for your tongue, and Alto Wine tastes like Horker dung.
3. Just wear locally designed armour. (ie, not Elven, Imperial, Orcish, Glass, or Daedric)
