Item suggestions:

-Chandeliers cannot be hung from bars (which are often used as chain for it to be hung from); please consider modifying?

-BiblioCraft has some great candle lanterns (can set as wall sconce or on an upright, pole, on a block, etc.); any possibility we could get something similar (in different metallics) in LotR? Also, wall candle sconces, floor and table candelabras, and single candle set out in holder, would be terrific.I think in the LotR world, they *had* discovered candlemaking as well as oil lamps, not everything was torches. :)

-Braziers (black metal---some type of iron---silver, gold, bronze, etc.) that can be set out either as a floor item, on top of a pole, would be terrific. Bonus if there's also a hanging bowl variety that hangs from a chain. Likely these would need to be lit with flint and steel, so we could choose lit/not lit when they're out. While braziers would add great atmosphere in Dwarven and also evil land builds, I can see them being of use in fancy Elven structures as well, and of course, halls of Men. I also suggest that "silver" ones be a light-medium grey, and "elven steel" ones be almost whitish; that way you could keep the same design for both and just vary by the color tones.

-Ye Gamol Chattels has the most amazing flag animation, where the flag is set on a pole; at times it hangs down, other times it ripples out to blow in the wind. BUT, all their flags are simple solid colors. I would LOVE to see LotR flags with faction colors/symbols (like the current banners) that could be placed atop a keep, set out beside a throne, etc., to flesh out the look a bit more.

-Tapestries would be an awesome addition to this game. I think I recall Tolkien mentioning tapestries in a few places, especially when he's describing Arwen for the first time, sitting at Elrond's table (mentioned the tapestries behind her)? I think he also mentioned a bunch of tapestries hanging in the great hall at Meduseld, including the one of Eorl the Young riding Felarof into battle.

Search Function:

I'm new to the forums; I tried searching for keywords using the modpage's wiki search, but it searched articles, blogs, etc. and I'm not sure it searched forum posts. My apologies if I missed it, but I couldn't find a search function specifically for forums (esp. suggestions forum, community approved suggestions, archives). If there isn't one, would it be possible to create one specifically for those forums? It would be really helpful as one more way for commenters to find out whether or not a suggestion has already been made about something (yes I did scan to see if anyone had posted about the suggestions above). To be frank, most people aren't likely to read through 33 pages of suggestions just to see if someone's already suggested something; they're much more likely to use a search feature (like for this, I searched "lantern," "chandelier," "flag," but found no posts on them)... and if the goal is to keep multiple people from making the same suggeston, it would really help. Apologies if the regular wikipage search *does* search forums and simply got no results for the searches I did; as I said I'm new and still trying to figure out everything here. Hopnig this helps.

Compliments:

I love this mod! Thank you not only for the mod, but also updates, and for taking player feedback!
