'0 Sigmarpreserve us from the wrathof the Norsemen'The land of Norsca lies to the far north of theEmpire across the stormy sea of Claws. This isa harsh land of snow and icewith mountainsof Frose and Dusk thatreach unto me heavensthemselves and march right down to the sea.The humans that live here are powerfullybuilt, with large, well muscled frames andlong limbs. The Nor e are a bloodthirstypeople whose society is based entirely aroundwar and fighting. They make or produce verylittle in their inhospitable homeland and theirartinide is to take whatever they need fromthe land of others. Many a time their dreadedlongsbips have brought terror and destruction[0 the lands of men and the other races. TheNorse people live in marauder tribes or clansmuch like the Unberogens who werecenturies earlier, the founders of the Empire.It is for these reasons that the Norse are eena a very primitive and uncivilised race byothers and indeed many Norse tribes openlyworship the dark gods of Chaos as their own.All Norse warriors are trained in the art of warat a very young age and become skilled in theuse of sword, axe and shield for their's is abrutal society where only the strongesturvrve. Probably because of their well-founded fearsome reputation the Norsemenhave few allegiances apart from to their clanand their ancestors and so make excellentmercenarie .Despite their brutish behaviour the Norsemake superb narural sailors rivalling even theHigh Blves and it was indeed me Norse whowere the first human co di cover Lu tria andthe South Lands.
