This is Part IV of IV, with a special Part V concerning itself with others of Númenorean descent to follow. This suggestion gives care to the shattered realm of Elendil, the northern Númenorean kingdom-in-exile, the once proud and now fallen land of Arnor.

Arnor: Though the great realm no longer exists as it once did, the remnants of the Dúnedain still linger on in the land, in their ruins and the waters, in the grounds and the airs.

Biomes:

While much has faded from the minds and hearts of Men and Dwarves, and the Eldar remember with bittersweet tears, the lands of Arnor are still blessed by the once great inhabitants of the land. The memories of the realm live on in the bones of the earth.

Fallen Arnor: A beautiful and rustic setting, this biome's grass is a fading green, with many trees growing throughout the landscape(the most common being maple, beech, and birch). No orcs spawn here, for the Rangers regard this fair land as sacred and hunt all evil that tries to defile it. It can be seen on the Middle-earth map as surrounding the biomes of Bree, Chetwood, and the Barrow-downs as a thin layer. This biome also spawns on the edges of Lindon, and the Tower Hills are part of this biome. Other than those places, this biome will never spawn naturally.

Fallen Arnor Hills: A hillier version of the aforementioned biome, always spawning in the Tower Hills.

Fallen Arnor River: A fair and fading blue color, these rivers wind through the aforementioned biomes.

NPCs:

As Arnor has been destroyed utterly in the time which the mod takes place, no NPCs of the North-realm remain. Only their descendants live on, the valiant Rangers of the North.

Structures:

Ruined Arnor Fortress: A ruined home of the Dúnedain, this largely resembles the Gondor Fortress, save built of Arnor brick and of course in severe disrepair. They too occasionally spawn with loot, with damaged Arnor equipment being a special rarity.

Ruined Arnor Watchtower: A version of the Ruined Gondor Watchtower, this is built of Arnor brick. Like the Gondorian version, it spawns with occasional loot.

Items:

All Arnorian items may be found as damaged pieces in loot chests from ruined towers or Barrow-downs barrows, or may be obtained from creative. They all have better stats than their Gondorian equivalents, but may not be crafted in any way. They may be repaired with iron ingots or with another Arnorian piece of equipment of the same type. The recently added Barrow-blade may be taken as the "Dagger of Arnor" that is suspiciously lacking.

Arnor Armor: A burnished bright plate armor with silvery chain-mail and black robes and golden trim.

Sword of Arnor: A bright silver sword with a black hilt, silver crossguard with a red jewel where blade meets guard, and a ruby pommel.

Bow of Arnor: A ashen-grey bow with a burnished golden grip, this bow resembles the Bow of Gondor in general shape.

Spear of Arnor: A black-handled spear with a long silver blade and a red jewel where the blade meets the haft.

Arnor Pike: A longer and more far-reaching version of the aforementioned spear.

Blocks:

Banner of Arnor: This banner depicts the same symbol as the Rangers, only with a black field and gold emblems as opposed to a green field and white emblems. This banner may occasionally be found in ruins and barrows, but rarely. There is no way to craft it.

Misc:

Achievements:

[Knight of a Fallen Realm]: Equip a set of Arnor armor.

[Forgotten Kings]: Enter Fallen Arnor.

[Near is the Hour]: Gather all Arnorian items into your inventory. A special shield is won from this.

Part II:

Elves have their own pikes as well, under the guise of Longspears(such as Aeglos, which Gil-galad used). These elven longspears(High Elven Longspear, Wood-elven Longspear, and Galadhrim Longspear) would have the necessary range and damage for their type, but would be a bit faster and with less knockback than a normal pike, as well as being slightly smaller. They appear similar to the Aeglos renditions by many different artists(all of whom appear to agree on the shape of the weapon) but of course have the differences one would expect(High Elven ones have golden blades and blue trim, Galadhrim ones have silver blades and golden trim, Wood-elven ones have green-tinged blades and dark green trim). They are crafted with Elf-steel ingots diagonally on either side of a stick(Mallorn for Galadhrim).

Well, this was comparatively a short suggestion. I'd like to thank the people who time and time again came to the defense of my suggestions, and saw them through to the bitter end. Until we next meet, my friends. Namárië!
