Edhelgwath,  Shade-Elf  No, those were Noldor. We never meet any Avari in the books.

Overall, idk if we should use the different "clans" mentioned by Tolkien save the Penni. The clans, save the Penni, seemed to have been confined to the West, and not lived in the East. In fact, it's debatable if there even are Avari in the east at this point, but the mod team has chosen to go that way. In any case, though, the quotes suggest that we shouldn't use the clans, or at least not all of them.

I'm also confused as to where you would have the Hwenti living. There are no unique Elven factions in that area that are not part of the Woodland Realm. The 1 and 2 on the map were meant to represent the Avari that joined with Mirkwood and Dorwinion, respectively.
