Hello again folks!

Its time to talk about some of Gondor's fiefdoms. (Braces for hate-feedback)- because I think a faction as important to Tolkien's lore as Gondor should be expanded before some of the Far Harad factions... Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Here goes:

The Fiefdom of Lossarnach! It would be a new biome in what is now the Northern parts of Lebennin. The terrain would be more hilly than standard Gondor, with some stunted trees and large boulders dotting the landscape. Standard Gondor structures and NPCs WOULD spawn here, but some special NPCs and structures would be thrown into the mix.

Lossarnach Smithy- Pretty similar to the Gondor Smithy, although maybe it could feature some of the new blocks like the stone brick pillars. In addition to selling some standard Gondor supplies, these blacksmiths could sell some of the staples of Lossarnach: Large, durable and heavy-hitting, but slow axes, and perhaps Lossarnach throwing axes.

Lossarnach Keep- Really just a slightly altered Gondor Fortress, that would be where the special Lossarnach axeman spawn and a Lossarnach Commander could be found.

Now for some NPCs. As noted earlier, standard Gondor soldiers would still spawn in Lossarnach, with the Lossarnach-exclusive NPCs maybe spawning only from their special structures.

Axeman- What Lossarnach is renowned for: these men would be equipped with the heavy axes, and would be a great shock unit. Some pros and cons are as follows: Great DPS and move speed, but slightly lower armour and a hefty price. Their gear could look something like this: http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/25/24491/2glossarnachaxemen.jpg

Axe-thrower- Like the Dwarven, Dunlending and Hillman counterparts, these would be equipped with throwing axes, and the same armour worn by the Axemen.

'''The fiefdom of Lebennin! '''Historically Gondor's most populous and mercantile areas, Lebennin could surely use some content. The biome and terrain generation is already there after all! Like Lossarnach, standard Gondor NPCs and structures WOULD still spawn here, but accompanied by some brand-new structures, that would reflect Lebennin's mercantile nature.

Lebennin Warehouse- A medium-sized structure where the merchants of Lebennin set up shop. Filled with general trading goods such as wood, common ores, food and drink, these warehouses would be a good place to stock up for a long journey. Lebennin Merchants would spawn here, along with a few Gondor civilians (when added).

Lebennin Dockyard- A structure of comparable size to a Gondor Fortress, these would spawn on the waters edge along the shoreline and rivers. As the suppliers of Gondor's Naval Strength, they would include a small lighthouse (perhaps similar to the Gondor Obelisk Structure), a few docks, and a little building. The small structure could be home to a small garrison of Lebennin Marines, who would spawn exclusively in and around these structures.

Lebennin would feature two new NPCs, the Marine and the Merchant.

Lebennin Merchant- Since general goods traders are rare in Gondor, these NPCs could fill that niche. Found in the aforementioned Warehouse structure, they would sell food, drink, common ores, and wood. They would be able to defend themselves with a Gondorian dagger. On a side note, these NPCs could also assume the role of Gondor's travelling merchants.

Lebennin Marine- Responsible for defending ships and harbours throughout Gondor, these would be very flexible troops. In combat, they would throw Gondorian spears at their opponents, in addition to using the weapon for melee, kind of like a Tower Guard. They would not, however, recieve the health buff that the Tower Guard features. As such, these units would be a cheaper, but slightly weaker, alternative for a unit that has both melee and ranged options. As it is designed to be lighter for sea service, Lebennin armour would be slightly below standard Gondorian in terms of protection, but like thr Rohirric Armour, could be crafted using a mix of leather and iron. Asthetically, here is what I had in mind- http://orig05.deviantart.net/b7ca/f/2008/231/8/3/gondorian_heavy_marine_by_merlkir.jpg

That is all for today! Thanks for your time, feedback & critique is always welcome.
