I didn't realize how many Spanish names were included in that Caribe wordlist--"Tiburon" is actually just Spanish for "Shark." Scrapping the Caribe, in the Malagasy of Madagascar "Shark" is "Antsantsa". That would probably be better.

Another issue I have is the Numenorean armor and weaponry. It seems like it would be confusing to have islanders decked out in the ancient gear of the Men of the Sea. Perhaps they could very, very rarely use Numenorean swords, but not wear the armor or use the Steelbows?

Also, I'm not sure the Troll-men use boats. They don't seem like the kind of people who know how to sail. The islanders could adopt either a more Viking style of sea-raiding, or they could be raided themselves by the limwaith.

Do coconuts get farmed? It might be better to have them be "coconut gatherers".

I assume by "Armor Rhino" you mean "Armored Rhino". It might be a good idea to have them be extra small, as an example of island dwarfism. The Sea Serpent should probably also be just called "Sea Snake" to stop people getting the wrong idea. I assume the different species you name would be textures, rather than actual mobs? Finally, "Big Eagles" should probably be called "Island Eagles".

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) I think the Half-Trolls are just intelligent enough to make rafts.
