Born in High Rock. So Nord? Breton? Really no one knows.

Also, the Nords worship him because all of Man does. He is the hero of Man and he mantled Lorkhan who is Shor who is the creator of Man. So he's practically their chief deity at this point. Bretons, Imperial, and Imperialized Redguard all worship him.
