Warfare


Warfare, weapons, and personal combat are a large part of Nordgangr culture. In early history the focus was on warring tribes and contests for leadership, but have since evolved into a more robust concept of battle. However, warfare is still considered, for the most part, a personal and individual experience.

What the Nordgangr lack in tactics and planning, they make up for in pure force.

Weaponry


Weapons are an intimate part of Nordgangr culture, with many opting to using a single weapon for most of their lives. Combat itself tends to favour slower and heavier combat styles, often clad in heavy armour. The heavy armour helps protect against the elements as much as enemy weaponry.

Religion


The religion of the people of the North has a long and complex history dating back to the first settlement of humans in the area. The majority of the Norgangr follow what they refer to as the faith (or often Folksidr, literally the "Folk Faith"), coupled with numerous other local traditions and rituals.

The Nordgangr faith has its routes in early folklore and shamanism of the Skaegar people, before their subsequent conquering and unification of the North Peninsula. King Asger is credited with starting the Folksidr reformation, organizing it into a religious doctrine, and adopting it as a state religion. The theological aspects of the reformation are often credited to Kaikane and Sabella.
