All Nords have an inborn talent to use the Thu'um but for some reason most of them value an axe over the power to shout down walls. Not really, all inteligent races can master the thu'um, but only after years of work and meditation. Nords hold the ability in high standing in their culture, while other cultures know little about the thu'um. Hence, only nords seem interested in the usage of the Thu'um. But considering that a sword or axe can be mastered much quicker, they tend to be the main weapon.
