Hello everybody i thought of something really interesting while wandering the savannahs of Far Harad and playing as a Moredain tribesman a new subfaction for them called the

Mumakdain(name is not absolute): these are mighty men who are almost religious about Mumakil they base their culture around them they would ride around on them wandering the savannah as a mobile base

Structures: as said earlier a Mumakdain tribe rides arounde on a Mumakil in wood

en structure that they built on its back there would also be rare shaman huts where you could find Mumakdain shamans who are crucial to taming a Mumak

Armor: it is a horrible crime among the Mumakdain to ever kill a Mumak outside of war as such they use no Mumak products in their crafting but do their best to simulate it throught use of a new item rhino hide which is similar in texture and color (rhino hide would obviously be a new hide found when you kill rhino with about a 3-6 droprate being big creature with much hide) it is tough with 7.0 protection

Chiefs helm: the Mumakdain chiefs helmet would be made like with three rhino hide on the top slots and 4 rhino horns (simulating tusks) on the sides of the crafting table with only the middle and the bottom middle slots being empty this helmet would be more of a mask covering all except the eyes it would have two big tusks on top of where the mouth would be and two smaller tusks on the bottom

Equipment: the Mumakdain equipment would consist of a sword a bow and a spear all made from natural products the sword would of course have a stick in the bottom middle a rhino horn in the middle ( as a handle it would render pointed down) and a gemsbok horn on the top middle (as the blade) it would deal 6.5 but have rather low durability (not absurdly low though) next bows bows are the only option for the Mumakdain shooting from atop their Mumakil it would be a horn bow with a hide string it would be made with gemsbok horn as the clasp ( you know in a side middle slot) two rhino horns  in the top and bottom middle slots and gemsbok hide replaceing string being a horn bow with a hide string this bow would have a slow drawback but high dmage the spear would just be a traditional recipe using two sticks and a rhino horn with the rhino horn as the tip it would do 5.0 damage

Arrows: the Mumakdain keep their eyes to the surface not mining flint in the ground or shooting birds in the sky so they would use natural products to make their own arrows the tips would be another new item alligaors tooth which would drop commonly from alligators the flight would be made of fur instead of feathers so it would be gemsbok hide and of course a stick in the middle this recipe would produce 4 arrows (note this would just make regular arrows just with an alternate recipe but arrows used with the Mumakdain bow would render as what the ingrediants would look like)

Shamans: last thing about the Muakdain is their shamans which are crucial to the taming of a Mumak you find in simple huts found rarely on the savannah you could recruit after doing random mini-quest line for them consisting of three quests to tame a Mumak you would need at least two shamans and your own shaman staff crafted with 2 gemsbok horns as the sticks and a rhino hown tip in the shape of a shovel when you try to tmae a Mumak the more shamans you have the better chance you have and every time you try your staff would break

hoof just one more small thing for regular moredain

Less lion centric (mostly in speech): i like the the moredain like lions but it seems like they have more respect for them than  they do for sauron i hear 5 lion quotes to every one sauron quote and "when the great lion roars even the flaming eye tembles" seriously? saruon conquer of empires most trusted servant of melkor corrupter of hearts would not flinch when an XL pussy cat that he could squish with his left pinky toe decides to meow and the moredain as men of melkor should know that and respect him as the most powerful being in the world and the ultimate giver of knowledge

Shrines: i would like it if the moredain (and other evil factions) had shrines to sauron based on what they can find and it would in this case made of moredain brick and simulating teh eye of sauron on top as best they can withe materials available.
