This is my idea for adding my favorite Lord of the Rings faction, The Beornings  into the mod.



I note that the next update is supposed to make the world of middle earth in minecraft deeper and not wider, but this is my favorite faction, and I realize it won’t be in the next update.



The Beornings live in the Vales of Anduin and in/on the fringes of Mirkwood. They also guard The Old Forest Road, keeping the way from Rivendell to Dale open and clear for travelers. A famous Beorning was beorn the skinchanger, who helped the dwarves in the hobbit.



NPCS

Beornings: The Beornings are a tough people, so they would have more health then normal (30-35 hp). They would have large beards (except for the women and children) and would defend themselves with axes or daggers.

This bow gets a +.5 damage bonus, takes 25 ticks to draw, and has a +40% range bonus. They were leather based armor colored mainly green and brown, with some gold. These troops cost 250 alignment and 50 silver coins to hire.

They fight with a large battleaxe until enraged enough (Don’t know how to display this), to become a giant bear. While a bear, they can cause massive damage. They are exceedingly rare. To hire them, you must have 750 Beorning alignment and 200 silver coins.

The first level contains a kitchen, and a living space. The second floor is a large bedroom. The structure is mostly made of wood.

This structure is a large clearing filled with many beehives. If right clicked on, a beehive would yield honeycomb (or just honey?) which would be used in making Beorning cakes and other such delicacies. However, if a player with less then 50 Beorning alignment comes within two blocks of their hive or takes any honey, the resident bees will emerge in a swarm (Kind of like midges) and attack! The bees would only do a half a heart every few seconds to unarmoured players, so they wouldn’t be that much of a nuisance. Similarly to Hobbit orchards, there is a trader called a Beorning beekeeper that would reside in the honey field and trade items.

It is surrounded by large and spacious grounds fenced in with a cobblestone wall. These grounds contain a large garden and a small honey field, although without the trader. These are where Beorning lords (traders you can hire units from) live. These are very rare and hard to find.

Thus, their spear and battleaxes should be a little better then the rest of their weapons. For example, the battleaxe could have +9.5 attack damage, and the spear could have +7 attack damage. However, this would necessitate the deduction of the other weapons, such as swords and daggers. The main colors of the Beorning armour and weapons is gold, brown, and green. <ac_metadata title="Bears!!"> </ac_metadata>
