The Island is inhabited by an ancient Nord lineage descending directly by the first colons of Tamriel , they are proud sailors and warriors , their raids are famous all along the coast of Tamriel , they upkeep good relations with their nordic cousins , that tough they judge weack and corrupted by the Civilization of the elves , while raiding all the other coasts especially the elven ones....
The island is Ruled by King Osric the usurper , a once great warrior , now mostly a drunk old man ...
the Island is famous for it's special ore , the best ebony and glass minerals , that tough is not much used by the natives and rather traded , the Issgardian steel is also a fabled metal rivalling with the one of celestial forge ....
the Island is also surviving thanks to the warm climate provided by several geothermic springs that melt the ice and allow the Island to survive in an almoust frozen ocean ... Indeed during the hardest winters an Ice path forms up on the northern shore linking directly the island to the continent of Atmora ...
Other resources include timber , herding and fishing...

Legend says that Ysmir the first dragonborn and Dragon of the North was revealed on the high cloudy mountains of the island and there in centuries to come people have come to worship Ysmir a true manifestation of Shor's will and incarnation of the nordic pantheon traditions.

Legend says that Talos himself during in his path to Godhood climbed up to the Ysmir temple to never be seen again under mortal forms .... it is so the location where is tought he ascended to Godhood....

Legend says that an ancient sword lies in the deep of the Ysmir temple , a sword destined only to a true dragonborn and the able to bend any dragon to the voice of the Dovahkiin,the Sword was forged by an ancient Race that arrived in homage to Talos from a faraway land beyond the rising sun ocean ... they where feared warriors that in the distant lands hunted dragons and revered the true Dragonborn as their natural leader...

During the late Meretic age , the first men Traveled to Tamriel , it was a proces of waves and not a true inviasion till the time of Ysgramor , but the very first land to be settled befoure Tamriel was the Issgard Island for it's strategical location as midpoint to the land of Tamriel , it is said that the very first man to settle in this island was the first Dragon born , his name was lost in time but he was reknown as Ysmir or dragon of the north , a title that become meaning of legends in centuries to come , designating high heroes ...
The Temple of Ysmir lies where the first Dragonborn was blessed with the Tuhum byShor himself and destined to greatness.

But there is one curse that hangs on the land ... Since ages a dreadfull creature living in the deep of the Ice mountain plagues the lands every Summer when the Ice caps melt for a while and the path of ice opens to the north the Creature come and demands it's tribute in living beeings and gold ... for centuries the Issgardians have subdued to this Evile creature feeding the beast with their spoils of war and their young sons .... Untill now....

A voice come from the south , shadows have covered the whole world and birds fleed to north when they would normally go south ... The witch shamans have spoke of a great evil, even greater than the beast itself that has returned to the world to devour it ... but then a hero arose , someone that share the very same nature of the beast ... a dragonborn ...

In the dark of the winter nights the shaman have voiced that the very same beast coudl be a Long forgotten Dragon , someone that once was feared by the same Alduin itself and that was cursed to devour human souls to remain in life .... of course those are just rumors but if where true then only a true Dragonborn coudl hope to survive the beast....

In centuries , heroes and kings have truid the path of ice to never come back , and each summer the shadow come back demanding a doubled tribute ....

Now the Old King Osric the usurper , consilled by the shamans decided to send someone to look for the Dragonborn .... it is said that a great hero woudl have come from the south and crush the snakes under his own feet ... a hero that woudl be able to enter the Old throne of Talos and sit on it , destined to wear the jeweled crown of Issgard while holding the Dovahmaar , the fabled Blade that can tame Dragons , forged from the hardest and most flexible steel of an ancient far land .... destined to lead the Issgardians to conquer the whole known world .
