Nord RP rules

The Nords were always vary of the spreading deserts and it's peoples zealously towards the false god Ra. After the conquest of the western Amazon parts, the Nords came face to face with their ancient foe again. With their settlement still incomplete and supplies from the homeland cut of by storms, the Nords started to lose more men to hunger and sickness then in the actual battle against the Deserts. Their frontiers collapsed bit by bit and Moral was low. When the Deserts finally made their way to the Nord settlement and it's majestic, anchored tireme, the Nord's that were left already packed up to flee back to their motherland. Upon embarking the last view these last surviving warriors had was of their city burned to ashes by plundering Desert Marauders. Knowing they could never face the Great Emperor back in the Mainland after this failure, they decided to try their luck with a new Settlement. Nord spies managed to follow a retreating Amazon tribe to a new and extraordinary land, unknown by them before. After setting course to this new world, the Nords noticed a strange, cold wind fueling their Sails. "Ymir himself gave us his blessing" the captain shouted. "We will not retreat a second time".
