====== MA Nidavangr, Bear, Wolf and Crow ======
===== Lore =====
Nidavangr is a land of windswept moors and frozen mountains. This cold and inhospitable land once belonged to the Jotuns or perhaps the Vanir, but it was conquered and settled by strong and fierce men in ages past. Ever since they have fought bitter wars with the former inhabitants of the land. Centuries of war have tempered the will and the ways of the Nidings of Nidavangr. Men as well as women are taught to fight at an early age and failure to survive combat or the harsh climate is more prevalent than dying from disease or old age. To most Nidings, death in a bed is a failure of life as a whole. Nidavangr is composed of three clans, named after their totemic animals, the Bear, the Wolf and the Crow. The warriors of the clans adopt the battle tactics of their totem. The clans are ruled by Jarls, but it is the Seithberenders, the clan shamans, who are the true masters of Nidavangr and the ones who perform the Nidalögning, Nidbath, on the sacred warriors of the Jarldom. The Nidbathed are ghastly warriors who are not even stopped by death. Should a Nidbathed be killed he rises again, and continues to fight, for he has several lives. Out of necessity, the perpetual conflict with the Vanir has made the Nidings search for ways to avoid the effects of glamour in their lands. And so the Awakening God taught the clan shamans the art of seith and how to scry their lands for that which cannot be seen.
//"Nidavangr is a nation based on three main sources. Two of them are derivatives of rpg settings of mine. The first setting was a land inhabited by barbarians divided into seven clans named after their totemic animals. At the center of this land was a kettle hole at which unholy rites were performed to create Nidlögade, warriors with several lives, which together with their raven clan shamans served as the final antagonists of the campaign. I reused and reworked the totemic tribes for my current pathfinder campaign. In this setting there are only three clans: wolf, bear and raven. The shape shifting seithberenders of Nidavangr closely resemble the clan druids of that campaign. Nidavangr is a mix of these two settings with some added mood of the novel Midnight Tides of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. My impressions of the frozen waste and the undying Rhulad have trickled into Nidavangr and the Nidbathed, but I can't say for sure how much of the mood you would recognize. Finally Nidavangr was set in a Dominions context with jotuns and vanir as ancestral enemies of the clans." -Illwinter//
===== General Overview =====
Born in a land that once belonged to the Joton or Vanir, the nation is a love child of Rus's shapeshifting shamans and berserkers, Ulmish raiding tactics and (improved) ubiquity, and plundered and modified Helheim death magic, despite Nidvangr having no confirmed lore origins from any of those nations.

** Cold Limit + 1 **
**Prefers {{:misc:scales:cold.png?15&nolink}} Cold Scale + 2**
**[[Blood Sacrifice]]:** Priests can sacrifice a blood slave at a temple to help extend the dominion. This ability is not transferred to disciple nations. Disciple nations with this ability can still use it. These nations do not have dying dominion.
**[[Scar Souls]]:** The Scar Souls of their sacred unit and one sacred commander are determined through the dominion score of the province they are created in on that turn. After that, every time they die, they lose one of those Scar Souls, never to be regained. You can see how many Scar Souls your units have by holding 'Tab' in the army management screen.
Regardless of the pretender's dominion score chosen at the start of the game, you can choose a [[Prophet]] and preach your capital's dominion up to 7, giving the ??Nidbathed?? 3 Scar Souls when recruited while ??Nidhere?? get the full 7.
{{:nations:ma:nidavangr:crow_clan_scout.png?nolink }} The **Nidings** of Nidavangr are somewhat-barbaric humans of **Size 3** (three units to a square). They come in three clans: the fervently defensive Bear Clan, the plundering Wolf Clan, and the attentive Crow Clan. Their society lives in an icy hell of sorts, giving them {{:abilities:resist_cold.png?15&nolink}} **5 Cold Resistance** and inuring them to {{:abilities:mountain_survival.png?15&nolink}} **Mountains**, {{:abilities:forest_survival.png?15&nolink}} **Forests**, and {{:abilities:snow_move.png?15&nolink}} **Snow**. Most Nidings are especially eager to fight, having at least **11 HP** and **11 Morale** (unless they've dedicated themselves to the Shaman's life), and striding with a full **16 Map Movement** while naked. These are just the baselines for the troops; many are better, in these areas or in others.
