Norsja
The Norsja were once a powerful race that ruled an empire that stretched across the Orbis, long before the Orbisoids came to live there. The Norsja split themselves into clans, with leading families. However time was a foe too strong for the Norsja, and soon divisions within the ruling families brought civil war and an end to the empire. Now all that is left of the Norsja is a small clan headed by Þørus Skkelja, and has a population of around 300.

Life:
The Norsja lived in their clans, which gathered every year to discuss progess. Since their is now only one clan remaining, progress has been advanced in some ways, but limited in others. It is hoped that in the future that the other clans will be reborn, and the traditional way of Norsja life will go on. The Norsja are stong woriors, and hunt for food on a daily basis. There are equal oppertunites for all to become hunters, as long as food is put on the plate all are welcome to hunt. The Norsja also farm a few animals, mostly for milk. To prove their strenght and power the Norsja often hold wresting competitions. These are suppossedly civil affairs, but can become quite messy and bloody. |

Hunting:
The Norsja live in the northern regions of Orbis, where the terrain is quite mountainus. There is usually a layer of snow on the ground, so the Norsja use this to their advantage, and are amazing trackers.
Most Norsja use weapons such as spears and axes when hunting, others use swords and clubs, and in rare surcumstances the use of guns and other projectile weapony are used by certain inderviduals.
Religion:
The Norsja have a set of Gods for all weather conditions, and all elements. They pray to their Gods, asking for good conditions to allow for good hunting and livestock to be safe.
When meeting for the clan gathering, religion plays a very important pay with religious dances and songs being perfomed. These roots in tradition are key to Norsja society.
