The brutality of Norscan raids has been felt as far abroad as the Witch King's baleful Dark Elven domain of Naggaroth, as well as the mysterious Far Eastern empire of mighty Grand Cathay, for the Men of Norsca are reckoned to be perhaps the most adept sailors and navigators in all the Known World unequaled by any in their courage and reckless thirst for conquest.
Warlike and cruel, the Norscans are the very epitome of the Warriors of Chaos fanatically devoted champions of the Dark Gods and the baneful scourge of their foes. įur-clad warriors and berserkers of hairy brawn, the wrathful barbarians of Norsca sail the seas in fearsome longships and unleash their devastating fury upon the civilised realms of the south.
Instead, the bleak and brutal landscape is divided amongst the barbaric kingdoms and territories of many bloodthirsty and warlike tribes of Northmen, ruled by dark-armoured Chaos Champions and Chaos Lords blessed by the favour of the Chaos Gods, and who are thus held up as akin to royalty by their brethren. Suffused with the unholy energies of Chaos by its proximity to the ruined Warp Gate of the Old Ones that lies at the northern pole of the Known World, Norsca is a brutal realm where no one ruler holds sway. Long ago, in the time of Sigmar, when these people still inhabited the northern lands of what would become the Empire, they were known as the Norsii. Norsca is inhabited by a race of savage and ferocious Men known variously as Norscans, Norsemen or the Norse. It is bordered to the south by the freezing waters of the Sea of Claws, to the north by the Sea of Chaos and the Chaos Wastes, and to the east by the roving Kurgan tribes of the Eastern Steppes.
Norsca lies on the very doorstep of the northern Chaos Wastes themselves. Trolls Norsca is a frigid, arctic peninsula and Human cultural region located in the far north of the Old World, though not officially considered a cultural or historical part of it by southern scholars.
