Are any of the Quengha elves? Aren't the Variags part of the Khaganate? I saw something describing the derivation of the word khaganate from khan.

On the red dwarves, I'd think that their culture and architecture would be barey easternized and not much more evil than western dwarves. Dwarves are extremely stubborn and would be hesitant to integrate other cultures, and certainly not architecture, as they would have far superior and developed building skills than the relatively primitive men of the east. Unlike elves, who tend to become much more good and wise further and further west, dwarves never had a Valinor, a place of ultimate goodness to live in or travel to. I'd think that the vast majority of the red dwarves would be just reasonable as western dwarves. Yes there are a few wicked dwarves, but the west had the petty dwarves and the ones who murdered Thingol. That there were many wicked dwarves may be a mixup between your Narfelt (who I really like), with their short stature and long beards, and the real dwarves. Quengha is just an empire of men, they don't really care about the War of The Ring or anything like that. Khaganate doesn't have anything to do with Khand, besides being allied with the Variags. And the Wicked Dwarves are just 'evil' dwarves, not Sauron/Morgoth evil.
