Nord Templar?

Now, out of the 4 known classes (not sure if anymore will become available on release) I am interested in a Templar, for healing purposes mostly :)
I would like a Nord for this role but In Skyrim the Nord are not keen on magic am I correct? So a Nord Templar would maybe not suit.
But as this is gonna be 1000 years before would Nord and Magika be ok?
Of course I am talking about this for roleplay purposes.

If you want a Templar, play as Breton

From a Roleplaying perspective it might be better to go with a Priest/ess of Kyne rather than an actually ''Templar'' if you wish to be a Healer.

But Breton arent in Ebonheart Pact.
I suppose I could play an Elf, I just had a vision of my Templar as more human

Now that sounds a good idea, yes, I could RP a priest for sure. Have done so before :)
But the use of Magika by a Nord still niggles at my mind.

Well a Priest that practices the school of restoration is probably more accepted than a ''Mage'' Nord.

I see your point :)
Maybe could even be a priest of Arkay, being the god of life and death. Would fit a healer better maybe?

Well the Nords aren't worshipping Arkay at the time of ESO. So no, it wouldn't fit.

Right ok, Thanks for your help Baldar :)
Time to make some notes and set up my character.
It will be the first time I've generated a character before game release. Makes me want the game to come even more :D

A Templar isn't strictly a healing character. Its a defensive melee fighter that uses magic both offensively and defensively -- but its focus is melee.

If you want to play a healer (or RP a priest), I suggest the Warden. From what we know so far, its a defensive spellcaster -- meaning healing and buffs/debuffs.

Yes, ive looked at the Warden also and may fit better, I shall wait and see for more info.
