Introduction

In mod lore the Morwaith are represented as unorganized and generally divided. However in the mod we see no sign of different tribes vying for power or fame. Instead we see an organized faction of people who seem very united. I'd like to change this to represent the diversity of the Morwaith.

Division of the Morwaith

The split would divide the Morwaith into 10 different tribes. Because 10 sub-facs is a lot only 3-4 would really be represented in the mod. These would be the 3 strongest Tribes, Eastern Morwaith, Western Morwaith, and Northern Morwaith. The other 7 would be only known/mentioned in a few lines by the Shamans of the 3 main sub-facs in lines such as "Bah! those Foresters(Morwaith of the cloud forest) know not what they speak of! Truly the Great Gorilla(Khamul) is the strongest!" and others along those lines. Each of the Morwaith sub-facs would have Shamans dedicated to worship of one of the 9 (I.E. the Witch-King, Khamul, etc) these would be represented by an Animal.

Each sub-fac would still retain worship of the Great Lion as their chief Deity but have the 9 as lesser gods in their eyes. Each of the 10 sub-facs would claim their champion the strongest except for the 10th which would worship the great Lion and not go into the dispute of the 9.

Only 3 would actually be represented in the mod as sub-facs as the other 7 are too small to represent. of them being them being the Northern Morwaith, the Eastern Morwaith and the Western Morwaith. The Northern Morwaith would have the Witch-King as their champion, while the Eastern Morwaith would worship Khamul and a 3rd unnamed Nazgul would be represented by the Western Morwaith. They always call the 9 by their Animal names so instead of them saying the Witch-King he'd be called the Great Hyena and the Great Gorilla for Khamul, the Great Cheetah for the 3rd guy.

Proposal'

So I got stumped on how to represent the Morwaith sub-facs correctly. My first idea was to give them different everything but that was a bit far in that direction. Then I thought just different chieftain armor. Bit too little in that direction then it hit me slightly after Ithilion suggested those ideas. Like he said keep the Lion as a main symbol for the Morwaith but have each of them use different armor and a sub-fac specific weapon. But then why have them use different armor and weapons instead of a Lion and then I thought why not represent it via having each animal be a member of the 9.

So my proposal is to add a new set of armor for the 3 main sub-facs all of them made of the fur of the creature. So a new weapon set could be added called the Chosen weapons. There would be a Chosen Spear, Chosen Axe, and Chosen long knife. These weapons would have +2 more damage than standard weapons.

Each sub-fac would have a specific unit along with a special Morwaith unit and standard units of the morwaith fac.

Units

Chieftains: Chieftains would now change depending on the Sub-Fac but all would sell standard Morwaith soldiers along with the following NPCs. They would wear Chosen Gear for each sub-fac

Great Lion's Chosen: these would be the special unit for every Sub-Fac, he would wear Morwaith Chieftain armor(which would be renamed Great Lion's Chosen armor) and wield a random Chosen weapon. Along with that the Great Lion's Chosen would give an effect to all nearby units called Bloodlust which makes it to where the less health= more damage.

Great Gorila's Chosen: These would be the faction specific units for the Eastern Morwaith. he would wear Great Gorilla's Chosen armor. He would give all surrounding soldiers Strength 1. He would use only a Chosen Battleaxe.

Great Hyena's Chosen: This unit would be faction specific for the Northern Morwaith. He would wear the great Hyena's Chosen armor and give resistance 1 to all units. We would only use a Chosen Spear.

Great Cheetah's Chosen: This would be the unit for Western Morwaith. Using the Great Hyena's chosen armor and a Chosen Long knife. He would give surrounding soldiers a speed 1 boost.

At this point most of you players are formulating a plan to get a chosen member of each sub-fac. Well stop, because if you have 2 different chosen of different Sub-facs trying to inspire troops you only succeed in giving them weakness. Why? because your soldiers are watching you bring in the Chosen of a different tribe that claims their champion better than theirs. The only Chosen that can be used at the same time of another is the Great lion's Chosen.

Next are Shamans. These would be sub-fac specific traders that sell the Chosen armor and chosen gear of their sub-fac.

Gear

The Chosen weapons are made by different sub-facs. The Chosen Axe is used by the eastern Morwaith, the Chosen spear is for the Northern Morwaith, and the Long knife for the Western Morwaith. The weapons have all the same stats as the standard gear but with +1 damage added. The Long knife is a fairly long knife as the name implies it has the same speed as the dagger but a longer reach.
