Two factions that are not in the lore, but can make the islands of Beleager feel less empty. (Sorry for sucky English)

Western Islanders



Members of this faction inhabit (obviously) the Western Islands (Himling, Tol Fuin, Tol Morwen). Their ancestors belonged to the human tribes, that were isolated from the Middle-Earth after the War of the Wrath. Even after years of being influenced by Numenoreans, they managed to maintain their lifestyle and culture.

Their skin is dark, but lighter than the one of Taurethrim and Morwaith. Males ofter paint their skin in various patterns. Females usually wear flower-themed dresses. Some of people wear scary-looking wooden masks.

Western Islanders live in small huts usually made of wood and leaves. Many villages are built on wooden piles above the water. In most of the villages, you can find an altar - it's the place of religious cult. Western Islanders worship the forces of nature - such as the sea or the wind.

The faction does not have allies or enemies, so the only way to get their alingment with them is to do mini-quests.

Types of NPCs: Western Islander Civilian, Western Islander Farmer, Western Islander Fisherman, Western Islander Warrior, Western Islander Drummer, Western Islander Shaman

Structures: Western Islander Hut, Western Islander Village, Western Islander Altar

Eastern Islanders



Members of this faction inhabit Tol Hith and the archipelago on the north east of it. Their ancestors were Haradrim tribes, closely related to Taurethrim, who sailed to the eastern islands a long time ago.

As the banner says, they're not so friendly as Western Islanders. Most of them practise cannibalism. Eastern Islanders believe that they can absorb life forces of their enemies by eating their flesh. There are tales about Umbarian and Gulfen sailors, who reached the Eastern Isles and were kidnapped by the cannibals.

NPCs of this faction will be agressive towards you, unless you get +50 alingment with them, by killing their enemies - the Taurethrim.

Their skin is even darker than the one of Morwaith, it's almost pitch black. Their clothes are usually made of leaves or animal skins. Eastern Islanders very often wear jewelry made out of human bones. Males very often paint their faces, so they can look even scarier to their enemies.

Eastern Islanders live in large huts, similiar to those of Half-Trolls, except they're made of wood, leaves and sometimes bone blocks. In most of their villages, you can find a central bonfire, which is used not only for cooking meat, but also for doing religious sacrificies.

This faction does not have allies, but has enemies - the Taurethrim. Eastern Islanders often use boats to invade their lands in order to collect more man-flesh.
