The Northmen are a fictional seafaring people, part of the Dungeons and Dragons universe. They are based on the Vikings, and inhabit the northern parts of the Moonshae Isles. Descendants of raiders from the island of Ruathym, the Northmen are a sturdy, war-ready people who worship the god Tempus. Unlike the Ffolk, who also inhabit the Moonshaes, the Northmen aren't interested in admiring the subtle beauty of nature and are more comfortable out at sea.
