Nord mount and blade wiki
Since they do not rely on cavalry, their armies are excellent at both attacking and defending castles. Nord Huscarls are arguably the best infantry unit in the game. Nord armies rely on the strength of their infantry. They also make great castle defenders, forming a nearly impenetrable shield wall on the ramparts. On the other hand, Nords are completely equipped to fight on foot and make for excellent castle besiegers, breaking shields and splitting heads with their axes as they go. They are somewhat vulnerable to armies with shock cavalry, as the men on foot cannot keep up with them. They boast the most powerful heavy shock infantry, whose main tactic is to throw a volley of axes or javelins at their targets before charging in to melee. The Kingdom of Nords is, in military terms, an infantry-based civilization.

Ragnar disagreed and when Lethwin was shipwrecked on his way home to claim his throne, Ragnar took the throne for himself.Īccording to both Marnid and Deshavi, the Nords also grow flax in abundance to send to Sargoth. The king before Ragnar and Lethwin's father, King Hakrim, had Lethwin sent abroad to learn academic arts believing that the Nords needed to be more than warriors. This predisposition to war also factored into the rise of its current leader, King Ragnar, and the disinheritance of the claimant Lethwin Far-Seeker. Gundig Hairy-Breeks would be killed attempting to attack the Rock of Rivacheg, but Nords still come to Calradia under the idea of claiming Calradia by force. Matheld makes note that this was a fabrication by the skalds and qualifies it by noting the Nords need no excuse to go to war. After the Empire fell however, a Nord leader named Gundig Hairy-Breeks landed in Calradia to claim a supposed Nord birthright of the whole continent. Matheld says the Nords were invited by the Calradic Empire to crew their galleys, and were given land on the coast as payment for this service. Nordland is said to be far north of Calradia, over the sea, and it is also the home of the Sea Raiders. According to Matheld, Nord people are from a place called " Nordland", although the game's description of the custom battle character, Sverre, claims that Nords originally came from a land known as "Jumne".
