The factions just don't seem to fit what the mod team has planned out for Far Harad. I can't exactly explain why, but they don't fit the style, the essence, of the mod's vision. The ancient rivalry between the two factions, the levels of sophistication, and history of these groups (especially the heritage, and the Duinhoth's hatred of Sauron). The names are also somewhat lacking-there are coasts and rivers all over the world. I don't mean to be rude, I'm just offering my honest opinion here.

I'm also afraid those textures aren't going to cut it for the mod's strict standards. They look a little cartoonish and oversaturated, imo, and the flags looks honestly like the Liberia's state flags.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) So... I'm thinking about scrapping & making new equipment, as they probably wouldn't be able to make such weapons or armor. As for the textures, I could use some help...

The Numenoreans in Far Harad didn't die out quickly, how do you explain Queen Beruthiel. Yes, they probably did die out/merge latter though. Apart from this, I don't know what you mean by heritage. The Duinhoth are more like rebels than anything else.

So all said, I need to:

1 - Rework their lore

2 - Redo the sample textures

3 - Find new names

Does this sum it up? We don't need to explain anything, it's Tolkien's word over your theories.

Hobit, Chief of the Inquisition (Inform me of heretics) What word? He barely wrote anything about Far Harad or Rhun. Although, yes I can agree that the Duinhoth & Falaswaith are a bit far-fetched. He wrote enough for the Black Numenoreans not to exist. To say that the Duinhoth and the Falaswatih are a bit far-fetched is an understatement.
