hmm, "north" so thats practically why they gave solthseim to the nords, because its up north?

(no, i am not joking)

 

The Nords have Soltsheim because they conquered it, nobody "gave" it to them. If "they" refers to Bethseda, then yes.

 

Yes that sounds sure. But in the information about nords there stands that they are from the nothen part of Tamriel that will include soltsheim.

 

The Nords, at the height of their power in Tamriel, actually controlled Morrowind. When the Chimer and Dwemer took it back they apparently did not bother to fight for the peice of ice that is Soltsheim.

 

Also I would not be surprised if the name Nords actually came from Aldmeris (elven language) since modern Cyrodiliic is a decendant of it, in the same way that (in the real world) modern Italian, French, Spanish, and Rumanian are decended from Latin. When the Nords arrived at Tamriel, they did so by landing on the north coast, and they came from a land further to the north (said land was more temperate in those times) so the Elves would have probably called them people of the north. That name eventually became just "Nords"

although, their barbaric attitudes could relate to the vikings...could they?

well, maybe, but their religion seems to come from a sort of Diablo 2 druid-ish standpoint, worshiping nature with their large stones(anyone who laughs at that is a perv :P )and their wolves and bears...its just like D2 druids, so either its ripping them off or its a common history fact....but whatever
