The mod has made a point of not adding things for custom factions (Astrasi, Snow-elves, Harad Dwarves, ect.) Well, the Tauredain are non canon, yet they exist in the mod. Why should an entire non canon faction be allowed, but not a non canon addition to a canon faction?

"If the Far Harad tribes are non-canon, then why can't you add [non-canon suggestion]?

The West of Middle-Earth is fully fleshed out in the lore, so keep suggestions for here canon. While the Far Harad tribes are non-canon, they do make sense, and so do the planned Rhunic Clans. They are seen as better than not having Harad or Rhun at all, as the canon material for said regions is limited. Please keep the suggestions for Far Harad, Rhun, and the Dark Lands either to a minimum or post ways to improve existing factions. This means no Dwarves in Far Harad or the Dark Lands, no Snow-elves, in infinitum. "

Simply put, those non-canon factions are there to fill up map space. If a faction is known to exist and at least a little is known of it (i.e. Haradrim), then things added to it must be canon. Made-up factions do not have the same requirement.
