Before I begin I would like to say that I know about Sparkiuses Hawaiian like suggestion but I came up with an idea about factions base in an area based off Hawaii in the middle of the East Sea instead of islands around the south coast of Rhun and Harad which are more like Polynesians. This may be a bit rough around the edges and be a little unorganized but I truly think this would make a great addition to the mod. So before you comment please don't say "There are no islands between Rhun and the Land of the sun" or "Tolkien never mentioned this". So without further delay I give you my suggestion. Enjoy!

The Pae'Aina There are 4 main islands in the volcanic Pae'Aina island chain each home to there own faction. Note: since the Pae'Aina is in the middle of the sea I doubt that anything would be in any form of elvish so I used the Hawaiian language to come up with names.

The archipelago The island chain was formed in the first age when volcanoes burst out from the sea on islands began to form. The first to come to these islands were people from the islands of of Rhun but were later dominated by a group from the islands of of Far Harad. The Far haradrim who lived there would later have a split and form the 4 tribes. In the islands there were the Keahi remnants of the great kingdom in the islands, Holomoku the sailors of the archipelago, Kekoko the cannibals, and Poekelapa the farmers.

Ahi Island Biggest and youngest of the islands and the most diverse of all of them. every climate on all the islands can be found here. It is also home to the Keahi the inhabitants of Ahi Island who live in its lush rainforests, mountains and valleys, and beaches. The islands name is fire in their language as the islands volcano is very active and spews lava constantly. The Keahi worship there guardian Ahi Kahu who according to there legends lives in the volcano core beneath Mount Pele and a temple site is set up on the mountain overlooking a lava lake. The Keahi are a mighty tribe who wear masks and armor resembling there guardian Ahi Kahu. Pele island has lush rainforests, canyons, mountains, black coastlines and more. The Keahi live in structures made of bricks of red and black volcanic rock which is abundant there. Biomes on Ahi island -Ahi Rainforest A dense rainforest full of trees native to Pae'Aina. -Ahi Mountains The volcanic mountains of Ahi island -Ahi peaks The cold tops of the mountains -Ahi slopes The western slopes of the mountains going down to the sea. -Ahi Canyonlands The Canyonlands of Ahi island -Volcanic hotspot Places where lava seeps up from underground. -Black sand Beach A beach of volcanic black sand. -Green sand beach A small beach where the sand is green from algae. -Rocky hills Rocky hills scattered around Ahi Island. -Ahi desolation Where lava has charred the forest -Lava tree forest A forest of trees of solid volcanic rock made when an eruption covered part of the forest in lava and eventually the trees died leaving hollow statues made of volcanic rock.

Palua Island

Palua island is inhabited by the Holomoku Islanders. Palua island is an island with 2 volcanoes one on each end and an area of rainforests and plains in between them. The Holomoku worship the guardian of Palua Island Wai Kahu who lives in the lake in the crater on top of Mount Palua the tallest peak in the island chain. They believe Wai Kahu is the guardian of water and she brings them protection from their enemies and who brings them safety at sea and safe travel. They wear masks and armor resembling Wai Kahu and they have a temple at the foot of the Mountain. The islands name means double for the 2 mountains on the island. There are 3 islands surrounding Palua known as UlaKai, Loihi, and Nani. All of which are inhabited by the Holomoku. Biomes on Palua Island -Palua Rainforest The lush rainforest of Palua island -Palua Mountains The mountains on Palua -Palua Peaks The tallest peaks in the Pae'Aina -Palua Valley The valley in the center of the Palua peaks where Wai Kahu supposedly lives. -Palua slopes The slopes of the Palua mountains.

Oma'Oma Island Oma'Oma island is the 3rd main island in the chain and is home to the Poekelapa. The Poekelapa were some of the first to live in the islands and they enjoy a simple life of farming. Their ancestors grew pineapple and eventually they brought pineapple to Oma'Oma island. The Poekelapa also farm many other fruits and plants. The Poekelapa believe in Honua Kahu and Makani Kahu, being the only group to worship 2 guardians. They believe that Honua Kahu is the guardian of the earth who brings them great harvests and that Makani Kahu is the guardian of the winds who brings them rain for the harvests. Because of their success with food it has made them enemies of the Kekoko who are known to eat there own people when starving. The islands name means green in their language representing the lush green island. -Oma'Oma Rainforest A low rainforest covering most of the island -Oma'Oma Mountains A low green and lush mountain range on the island. -Poni Hills A small hilly range of the island where a dormant volcano lays. -Oma'Oma Shrublands A land of bushes and occasional forests on the northern part of the island. -White sand Beach Beaches of pure white sand -Oma'Oma Rocky Coast A rocky shoreline on Oma'Oma island.

Ka'Awale island The isle of Ka'Awale is the oldest of all the islands. The island is inhabited by the Kekoko who migrated from the other islands and started a civilization. But they were isolated from the other islands as there was a lot of ocean between Ka'Awale and the rest of the Pae'Aina. So over the years the isolation combined with droughts and famine turned the Kekoko into cannibals who age there own people. They became violent, primitive, and bloodthirsty, they began to worship a false guardian made up by priests who was a guardian of blood and war. The Kekoko live in the canyons and forests of the island and are hostile to the other tribes. Statues of all the guardians would spawn here in ruins. There s a nearby island named Ula by all the tribes and is where a great bloody battle happened. -Ka'Awale Wild Rainforest An untamed savage rainforest on Ka'Awale island. -Ka'Awale Wild Plains The untamed plains of Ka'Awale island. -Ka'Awale Lagoons The lagoons of Ka'Awale island. -Ka'Awale Mountains A range of high mountains and deep canyons. -Ka'Awale Peaks The tallest mountains on Ka'Awale island. -Kekoko Valley A valley of Kekoko that is lush and green and full of Kekoko structures and npcs. -Ula Canyon A red Canyonland surrounding a huge canyon. -Ula Island A barren and uninhabited island where a bloody battle took place. -Ka'Awale Volcano An active volcano on Ka'Awale island.

The final new thing would be the Pae'Aina sea the biome on the map would be the same color as the normal ocean so it doesn't look odd but it is very different. It would be shallower. The sea would have a more light bluish look and the islands spawning here would be small and made of volcanic rock sand and some Palm trees. In this biome would spawn sea turtles sharks and several new types of fish. The water would be clearer when you are underwater and not as dark and gloomy. There would also be coral reefs spawning and shoals.

Thanks for reading my suggestion I spent a month researching translating drawing writing and thinking. So thank you and I hope you like my idea. I currently can't make any armors designs now so imagine the armor like Tikis. Thanks and I hope you enjoyed my suggestion.
