Elves, Orcs, Hobbits, Trolls and Dwarves: Own Cultures I will disagree with you in this comment, but I don't want to start a fight.

The only problem is that you have three factions listed as Rome.

I see the roman empire as Arnor, but definitely not Gondor. Rome fell, and its junior partner the Byzantine lived on in a fallen state. Just like Arnor and Gondor.

Dorwinion strikes me as a Renissance era Italy, or Greece.

I can see Dunland as the Celts.

Where were the Goths from? I know the Visgoths were from Spain, so I would have to say that Rhudaur would probably be more like the Huns OR Germans, who destroyed Rome.

Bear in mind the Ottoman Empire destroyed Byzantine.

How is Umbar barbaric? The Barbary coast is not barbarians. It's in northern aftrica. They had a strong navy consisting of Pirates and privateers. That's how I connected them with umbar. Visigoths are germania although they are from the iberian. I guess I'll call rhudaur hillmen just germania tribes. Gondor is east rome (byzantium) and arnor is west rome. Actually, The Tripolitans and other Barbarians were barbarians. They're not Romans - or Greeks! That makes them barbarians.
