  • While most Nords will respect other people's right to worship their gods, including the Daedric gods of the Reach and the Orcs; they really do not like Daedra.
  • Afflicted, including werewolves and vampires, are not welcome and may in fact be killed on sight.
  • Non-standard races, especially monster races such as spriggans or goblins, are not likely to receive a warm welcome either.
  • The average Nord is likely to look down on, or even mock any visitor who is 'putting on airs', 'being a snob' or 'dressed too fancy', so when in Rome ....
