High King Ithilion wrote: With regards to factions, I quite like what we have going currently. However, there are a few things I would want to see in the future.

- Inhabitants for the Far Harad Islands.

- A near-dead faction that used to live in the sunken lands. A few remain in hidden valleys of the Harad Mountains. They would be the last remnants of the western Haradrim who were driven off by the Numenoreans and the Downfall.

- A hidden fort in the mountains or on an island, once owned by the Black Numenoreans, now with descendants who claim their heritage but are dark of skin. This would be a tiny faction that would probably wait until major structures, with no power whatsoever, but perhaps a questline.

- Pygmies in the deepest woods of Harad. These would be the original inhabitants of the jungles who the Far Haradrim drove out. Tolkien mentions pygmies in the Book of Lost Tales. While not canon, it shows that he did consider them at one point.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) I didn't read the rest of the comments, but one thing I must say:

If you add pygmies, there has to be an island/biome called Bekels, where there are giant pygmies. Just sayin'. .
