Currently there are only 2 ways NPCs from different factions interact with each other: 1. They kill each other on sight 2. They don't give a crap about each other

I propose a third relationship: High tensions.

Faction NPCs with high tensions would normally be just okay with each other, but every once and a while they would spontaneously begin fighting, similar to Orc Skirmishes. As the fight continued, nearby NPCs from either side would join the fight, possibly resulting in a full scale battle. Factions with high tensions would include:

Mordor Orcs and Uruk-Hai Durin's Folk and Elves Gondor and Near Harad

Along with the NPC interaction, a certain range of player alignment would be the "animosity level" anywhere from -20 to -1, depending on the faction. NPCs would respond in a similar fashion to "high tension" NPCs, with a chance of both attacking the player or leaving them alone.
