So I've talked with Fish about this one, and we've come to an answer:

Your applications sound excellent and shall be of course be acceped. War Pig, will you do the honour of adding his character to the Character List (and please check what I've written at the buttom of this comment before doing so).

Meanwhile, time for some technicalities: Given that your character is a chieftain of one of the many tribes that The Vale consists of, it is technically not a sub-faction like Dol Amroth would be to Gondor. Because politically, you have a higher leader, which represents The Vale in total, meaning usually foreign faction leaders would contact him whenever they want to diplomatics, rather than talking with every single tribe chieftain, simply because he represents them all. Therefore, although you internally, in the faction The Vale, will be seen as many tribes making up the faction "The Vale", on a large political scale you will be known as one big faction, The Vale, just like Gondor was known as Gondor on a large scale, even though if we zoom in it consists of many fiefdoms, almost similar to minor kingdoms.

So to make it short, your tribe is recognised as existing, you will of course get some special The Vale faction tag to show that you're not just a regular The Vale member, but your tribe will still go under the main faction with the name of "The Vale". Which tribes controls what and has which people is something you internally, in the Vale, will have to keep track on as it's more local geo-politics, rather than geopolitics on a direct global scale.

I hope you understand where I am getting at here, but of course feel free to ask if you do not.

But again, War Pig - will you do the honour of adding him to the Character List, under the faction of the Vale. Be sure to add the fact, that he is chieftain of one of the many tribes that makes up The Vale. Meanwhile, I will make sure to write it down and update the lore of the faction, The Vale.
