In my opinion the Khangate should be just as powerful as Gondor. Evil needs a powerful mannish faction, because haradrim are weak, Dunland is terrible, and so is Moredain. Also let's compare good and evil quickly. There are far more good factions than evil. Here's good Gondor (and its fiefdoms) Rohan Dale Dorwinion Tauredain (sort of) high elves Lothelorien, Woodland Realm, Durins folk, blue mountains, Rangers, and hobbits (again sort of. That's 12 factions if you didn't want to count. Vrs evil with Mordor Angmar Dol Guldur Gundabad Isengard Near Harad (Dunland Moredain half trolls these 3 are terrible enough to be counted as one) and now Golden Khangate. That's 8 (10 if you count the 3 terrible factions.) But either way Gondor has 8 sub factions that could be counted as there own. Evil needs a strong faction and the Khangate makes since. They were wealthy (why do you think they have golden armor), they destroyed Dale and besieged Erebor by themselves, and they probably did trade with the Orocarni. Do you really think 2 things one the dwarves of the east care about Gondor? And do you think that the Khangate went to the dwarves and literally said "Hey we serve Sauron your hated enemy can we be friends and trade?" No they did not. I agree with Tagou far above, people are too afraid that Gondor will actually have competition.
