I don't mean to sound rude, but this is simply not needed. This has no basis whatsoever in the Canon Lore, and wasting time on pointless factions like these is just an utter waste of time! There is a lot this mod needs that makes sence, is Canon, and that actually is needed! A random, baseless faction like this is excactly what causes the incredible procrastination on the Holy Grail of this mod: Major Quests.

What I'm saying is; this is simply a useless and utterly random faction, with no canon base and the cause for straying away from what this mod is about. For these kinds of things, a submod, or a different mod altogether would be good, but not here. Have you heard about the Tauredain? Same principle. The difference being that Harad people are actually mentioned. Splitting the Harad people in Southrons, Moredain and Tauredain people makes sense and fills the huge southern chunk of Middle-earth. The Mountains of the Wind do not cover a really large area. It would be sensible to introduce Wainriders and Khand people first, populating  Rhûn, before imagining new people without any lore background. Besides, these are presumably already planned, although they will not come in the next update.

But more factions is much more interesting. I'd love to see a Uttermost East faction based off of China or Korea. Take Rhudel as an example: it's an interesting faction, but it is extremely non-canon. It doesnt contradict lore, however (except for fire pots and Khamul's Fire, which should be removed).

Do you seriously think that the only nations of Rhun are Wainriders and Variags (which are sort of in Rhun)? Of course not. There would have been many unspecified nations there. Just like Tolkien mentioned the Haradrim, he didnt specifically mention Moredain or Cenerim (however it's spelt), we can make up those factions because Tolkien mentioned many Haradrim nations. It's the same thing with Easterlings: we dont know which ones came to Minas Tirith, but since Tolkien just said "Easterlings", we can imagine our own Easterling factions, based off of Asian cultures.

In other words, your own argument is the same one that defeats your point.
