Combat:
20% of a tribe's inhabitants are non-combatants, mostly woman and children. It is Noricryvik belief to fight until death, so it is not uncommon to see a Noricryvik warrior well past his prime age out among hunting parties or raids. Noricryvik are organized predators, preferring to hunt and attack in groups of six or more. They are masters at military strategy, never entering a battle without a well thought out plan of attack.
In combat they are most comfortable with the use of Axes, clubs, and spears. Their large build does not give them much grace on the battlefields so they choose weapons that will make up for their uncertainess on their feet. Occasionally a bow is used, mostly among the skilled hunters of the group.
Magic is not a main part in the combat of Noricryvik, only the shaman have the ability to cast magical spells, and they are few. Most magic is not attack based, it is used simply for healing purposes along with a few other minor uses.
