How come Nords thousands of years ago made massive stone fortresses built deep into mountains, with ornate stonework and room to house hundreds...but modern nord """cities""" are only a handful of wooden shacks?
because stone is a fucking terrible insulator

Nords are retards. They are literal dumbass barbarians.

Large open rooms don't complement stealth archers, and war time is not the time to slack on stealth archer tech.

One is the First Empire of the Nords which was fucking awesome and had 2 of the best mages in Tamriel.
Another is shitty post-Oblivion Crisis Skyrim ruled by an equally shitty Empire.

Because those were made back when elves were genocided by Nords, the great era of the Nordic people, now the empire is ruled by elves, ofcourse everything is shit now

faggy elf detected go back to your cantonment island

Because Elder Scrolls is a setting where the various civilizations are stagnating and on the brink of regression
Because Skyrim broke the lore. Nords were all about the 'Wind' and were supposed to be the best sailors.
Now they are just vikings
