Last answer first: High chance. I've occasionally been asked for a Nordlond sourcebook proper. There are a few things I might wish to do with the setting and I have a few ideas that I need to check if feasible. If so ... a true setting sourcebook would make a lot of sense.

There's a bit of the history of the place, which I might like to change if I brought that material to Nordlond DFRPG instead of Torengar Dragon Heresy. There's MORE on culture and behavior in the DFRPG material than made it into Dragon Heresy, but an expansion of divinity beyond the domain heads might be of use to some.

I hate to say "don't," but honestly most of the published material leans very heavily on the changed mechanics to get from 5E to Dragon Heresy. The DH was originally intended to be a short PDF that said "tweak these things" but I rapidly realized that would be stopping game play every few moments to convert: easier to give it the fantasy heartbreaker treatment.

So the published DH material is very mechanics-heavy, and honestly I'd rather "blow up" the DFRPG world and turn it into one or more islands in my Infinite Archipelago concept than continue the "vast continent, most of which is only vaguely defined" trend started in Dragon Heresy.
