Not sure exactly how intentional it was from a writing perspective, but it's cool how stoic and unpanicked the Nords are when it's become clear the Dragons are coming back.

Like they know dragons can appear anytime, anywhere (and often do) yet there's not really anybody freaking out or panicking.

Theres no riots, theres no refugees trying to flee to other provinces, theres no mass panic of any kind. People seem wary but largely just try to live their lives and perform their duties.

They all seem to agree it's very serious threat for which they need to prepare, and some even seem bummed they aren't actively getting to fight the dragons due to their other obligations.

Even if it wasn't that intentional from a writing perspective, it really meshes well with the general attitude of Nords which is:

"We live. We work. We fight. We die."

"Do all of those with honor, rise to any challenge, and never back down."

Maybe Nords are basically just TES vikings but gosh darn I find them neat.

Headcanon: the Nords have a reputation across Tamriel for being dirty and averse to bathing but in reality they (like the irl vikings) take hygiene very seriously. The myth about them not taking baths stems from their preferred use of saunas as "steam baths".

Additionally, because of their wale hunting culture -especially amongst the Skal- ambergris perfume is widely used and coveted, giving the Nords a very unique sweet odor. Nord perfume is highly prized and very costly in other provinces, although some disdain it's musky animalic scent as barbaric and unrefined.
