I think it would really add some texture to Rhun if we added one or two non-human factions the Mewlips and the Hummerhorns (and Dumbledors) now I know what you're thinking "Draugluin's off his rocker he's completely barmy, loopy and mad to boot!" but I humbly beg that you hear me out (or in).

Mewlips

I know a good deal fo you will just say that mewlips are a hobbit's idea of an orc and you are probably right but Tolkien didn't say that so what you're saying is conjecture and we could still use mewlips as a seperate entity, my suggestion is that we make the mewlips either a hostile faction to all or a joinable faction in Rhun they would live in a swamp biome beyond the Red mountains inside ruins and rotten houses (I'd also like my desert mewlips but I know custom lore has no place here :P).

Mewlips would look like slightly scaly orcs with four long ears and their noises would include a lot of schwelching and belching ;)

their weapons would be either similar to half troll weaponry or they would simply use decrepit Easterling weapons looted from their ruins

their armour would be bone or some form of mud related stuff

any mewlip structures wood be made with rotten wood

mewlip mobs would be:

Mewlip chieftan (hires out mewlips)

Mewlip shaman (like Tauredain shaman but more mewlip)

Mewlip fisherman (sells fish)

Mewlip warrior (a fast but weak unit)

Mewlip clan guard (a tougher unit who is sligtly more imposing than other mewlips)

Mewlip matron (sells edible insects and less savoury invertebrates)

Mewlip food would consist of various fishable items and a few others such as leeches, swamp slugs, frogs and grilled midge (as you can see mewlips just have the healthiest of diets)

 Hummerhorns and Dumbledores 

now if you thought my first idea was obscure prepare to involuntarily dive for your keyboard in "this suggestion will never be added" fever (I completely agree if you do). My idea of hummerhorns and Dumbledors are of giant insects with a bee like hive. Hummerhorn and Dumbledor nests can be found in certain areas of Rhun where one can either gain alignment with them or fight through them for loot.

Hummerhorns would look like the closest estimation of a humanoid preying mantis one could get whereas Dumbledors would look like giant wingless bumblebees

Hummerhorn weapons would look like they were made of some sort of crystalised spitle whereas Dumbledor weapons would be primitive brightly coloured affairs

Hummerhorn armour would look a bit like some sort of walk in exoskeleton whereas Dumbledors would wear a sort of stripy armour (made from whatever leather equivalent Mevans adds for Rhun) and would drop Dumbledor fur (which could be used like warg fur)

Hummerhorn structures would be made of a mixture of mud and Hummerhorn mound (that would like like termite mound blocks but darker) Dumbledor structures would be made of honeycome and the loot would be strictly sugary :P)

mobs would include:

Hummerhorn worker: a weak mob that can be hired at minimum cost

Hummerhorn soldier: a strongish mob that would be a good infrantry

Hummerhorn archer: a hummerhorn with a crossbow :P

Hummerhorn: larvae: a huge ridable maggot :P

Hummerhorn egg tender: a high health low damage unit

Hummerhorn queen: from whom one can hire units

Dumbledor drone: heavy infrantry grunt of a troop

Dumbledor stinger: I'm not sure with what weapon but the stinger would fire a projectile called a hummerhorn sting

Dumbledor honey seller: sells surplus honey!

Dumbledor queen: same as Hummerhorn queen

I know there are quite a few issues with this suggestion but I rather like it and I don't think i've infringed the FAQ too much. (please leave any comments or critisicms bellow( and my spelling errors XD))
