Snowmen of Forochel (Lossoth)

History:

The Snowmen of Forochel were Northern Hunters that were grouped into small tribes and lived a cold life in Forodwaith. They are very similar to the aboriginal and inuit people we have today. They are known for their fur trading and took no part in Numenorean Politics during the First Age, they were basically neutral. They lost a great amount of land due to The Witch King of Angmar threatening them with his armies. They made a new home in the cape of Forochel and so were called Snowmen of Forochel. They had somewhat of a good relationship with the Blue mountains, since the dwarves allowed them to live around the edges of the blue mountains when their homes were frozen solid in the winter and uninhabitable. They had very limited knowledge of men in the west. During the Second Age, they took part in the fall of Arnor when King Arvedui was told not to sail back, even though he did which lead to his downfall.

Reason:

I think the Snowmen of Forochel would make a great addition to the list of custom factions because they are positioned in a very good spot for trades and raids from the seas. We also don’t have enough “neutral” factions that take no part in the War of the Ring. It would also be cool to have a faction that is based on survival and less on creating armies or living a good life. Players that get bored of the same factions can try being part of Forodwaith and endure challenges that are thrown at them.
