Old castles that are still in decent shape that you fix up a little bit and stick all your guards in is not stupid. Dorwinion is too tiny to be a military faction but with natural defences and old castles to defend they could be able to hold their own (an example of acountry like this would be the Old Swiss Confederacy. Dorwinion doesnt need to be offensive to survive. Rhun was a huge empire but Dorwinions gloomy mysterious forests in the east, the wall of mountains in the south and a collection of sturdy fortresses, men and elves Dorwinion would be a pain to take. If i were an emporer I would just deal with the tougher threats first like Dale and the Dwarves and deal with that pain in the butt Dorwinion later. I have seen Dorwinnion as most compareable to the Mechant states of italy, where any and all military focus is to protect trade (in this case their trade is wine) I think Rhun might have avoided attacking them because they were so wealthy, and likley willing to trade with Rhun.
