Northmen
This post is for the Northmen, (close cousins of the Wood-men of Mirkwood I did in an earlier post: http://lotrminecraftmod.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:340770) and many things concerning them.

Biomes
The following biomes would be added:
 * Northman Ranges - Two safe hotspots on the Eastern section of the Anduin, right where it reaches Mirkwood where the Northmen will spawn. Horses, elk, and sheep (lots and lots of sheep) will spawn here, along with the regular passive creatures. So can Dol Guldur and Gundabad Orcs if an invasion is launched.

Crafting/Items
A number of new items would be added. -Dagger (also has a poisoned variant -Longbow (has the longest range in the mod [180%], but only 6-12 damage)  -Longspear  -Spear  -Glaive (Basically a sword on a stick)  -Sword  -Battle-axe  -Hammer
 * Northman Table - A necessary block for all of the following. Should be crafted with planks on itself.
 * Northman Equipment - The Northmen will have every tool in the game, (axe, pick, shovel, and hoe) with the fastest axe in the game. They would have
 * Northman Armour - The standard armour of the Northmen.
 * Northman Hunter Armour - A Northman equivalent of he Wood-elven Scout Armour, except instead of Speed II, it would give you a quicker draw time and more accuracy with a bow.
 * Horn of Conquest - Works like any other Horn of Conquest.
 * A Banner with a grey-green/clover-green background, a solid dark grey border, and a set of crossed Northman Spears.
 * Northman Brick, a darker version of the vanilla Minecraft stone brick. It also has cracked, mossy, and pillar variants.
 * Northman Beams - Crafted with either green-oak or red-oak logs on a Northman Crafting Table, these would look like regular beams, but could then be gilded with silver (not gold), and would not simply look like a block (like the Rohirric ones).

NPCs
The Northman Ranges would get the following NPCs:
 * Northmen - Northmen who spawn in the Northman Ranges.
 * Northman Hunter - Northmen with Hunter Armour and Northmen Longbows which they might exchange for dagger when at a close range. They will occasionally spawn with 1-2 tamed wolves for back-up, and might also be hired with wolves, though it is completely random.
 * Northman Warrior - Northmen with Northman Warrior Armour and melee Northmen weaponry.
 * Northman Cavalry - A mounted version of the Northman Warriors. They would only ride horses.
 * Northman Cavalry Archers - A mounted version of the Northman with a Longbow.
 * Northman Banner Bearer - A Northman Warrior with a Banner. As any other Banner Bearer.
 * Northman Captains - The unit you hire everything else from.
 * Northman Merchant - A man who wanders the land, selling you his wares.

Structures
The following structures would now generate in the Northman Ranges.
 * Northman Fortress - These Fortresses would have several sizes, but follow the general build of the Dunedain Forts. They would all have thick walls with a two block thick beam wall.
 * Northmen Houses - Structures with a Northmen brick floor and with the first block level of the wall made of Wood-men brick but with the rest made of Red-oak beams and a sloped roof.
 * Fire-pit - 3x3 campfires, complete with cut logs for benches, a few chests, and a log pile.
 * Mess-hall - A large room made out of Red-oak beams, containing a table with seats and food/drink for the Wood-men. There would be barrels, furnaces, and chests along the walls.
 * Northmen Tower - A small stubby variant of the Wood-elven Tower. These towers would be made of a little Wood-man Brick, but mostly wood-beams(green-oak/red-oak) in the same style as Wood-elven Towers, and with weapon racks to display two random melee weapons. Northmen Captains would spawn at the top, and variants of the troops will spawn all around the tower.
 * Northmen Ruins - Ruined Northmen Fortresses with scattered ruins of houses and rarely some old towers nearby.

Does northman not refer to dale? When you enter dale you get the achievement "Kingdom of the Northmen" ​​​​​​
