I don't know about the nords. They seem to keep to themselves in the grand scheme of things.

The Nords, when you look at history, are honestly a race of invaders who's arrogance rivals the Altmer's or maybe even more so, not through talk and elitist type social displays, but through action. Their homeland of Skyrim, once called Atmora, was gained by force through invasion and war brought on by them to the peaceful Snow Elves who already inhabited the region. The Snow Elves had a prosperous nation and very advanced civilization and culture and fought back but eventually were driven out, and forced underground with the cruel Dwemer. The Dwemer then subjected them to a poison that robbed them of their eyesight and higher senses. If you played Skyrim, the twisted Falmer you find in Dwemer ruins are the descendents of this once proud race, an innocent race the Nords alone had a direct hand in making so vile and mindless. Their reason for taking Atmora for themselves for no actual legitimate reason by force? They 100% believed they simply "had the right to" because they'd "earned it" by winning the battles they'd come across. They're meatheaded fools...Orcs' code of honor makes more sense than these morons'.
