![]() ![]() Norsca has some of, if not the, most powerful selection of monsters in the game along with infantry that's rather on par with that of the Warriors of Chaos. In Total War: Warhammer III, they will be playable in the upcoming Immortal Empires combined mega-campaign for owners of I, II and III. They became playable in the Grand Campaign in August 2017 and Mortal Empires in May of 2018. The Norscan Tribes can be purchased as a DLC race (free if Total War: Warhammer II is pre-ordered) for Total War: Warhammer. One day, the Norsca believe, their advance will not be checked, and Chaos will swallow the world. At times like this, the Realm of Chaos itself swells and expands, bleeding over into mortal lands. And whenever the Ruinous Powers prepare for a new assault on the south the Northmen put aside their petty disputes and rivalries and unite behind their Champions, ready to fight and die in the name of their Gods. ![]() ![]() No single Lord holds sway over the nomadic northern tribes, although men and monster alike are increasingly drawn to fight for King Throgg, a Troll of surprising intellect, or to follow Wulfrik the Wanderer, a Norscan warrior cursed by the Gods to forever seek out and fight the mightiest opponents. The shared ambition of every northern warrior is to cause the greatest possible bloodshed and mayhem in order to appease and please their Gods in seeking this goal most die violent deaths, or fall into warped insanity, but a few become favoured as Champions of the Gods, often "blessed" with mutations such as a melding of flesh and armour, or weapons fused with the hands that wield them. They need no priests to intercede with their Gods, believing the slaughter and terror they bring is an act of worship in itself, though they are also highly superstitious and often raise twisted shrines and make blood offerings to honour whichever deity they hope to win favour with. They follow the Ruinous Powers with unquestioning fervour, personifying them as the Hound, the Crow, the Serpent and the Eagle. War is their natural state, and whether raiding across the Sea of Claws in their longships or feuding with neighbouring tribes, their blades never go long without blood. Though physically tougher and more powerful than those living an easier life in the south, the Northmen are still Men - although many of them will have their humanity warped by mutations, and their savagery and barbarism are legendary. ![]()
