Intro
The moredain are completely lacking of a ranged weapon (good) and the tauredain are lacking of a descent one (bad), therefore I am suggesting a new tribal ranged weapon called an "Atlatl", it is a device used to launch small spears, the idea is similar to a sling, increase the length of the arm and add another turning point, then they can add much more power into throwing the short spear.

Atlatl Overview
Tada! an atlatl, as you can see it is pretty much a club you can put a short spear it, this will add a new turning point so you can throw harder, and lengthen the area being used to throw, also giving more power to the throw.

Crafting
This would have 200% draw rate, and would have a range of around 75%, and a damage of aroung 125% (sorry, not sure how damage works with ranged weapons.)

Darts
An atlatl dart is a short spear, or long dart. The player could throw it as a normal spear, or use an atlatl.

Obsidian
These would deal 8 ranged damage, and have 9 durability (obsidian is fragile, it is literally called black glass, and it is called that for a reason (sharp&fragile))

Flint
These would deal 4 damage and have 29 durability.

Horn/Bone
(yes, i am aware that horn is not bone, but it is close enough)

These would deal 6 damage, and have 29 durability.

Tlacochtli
The tlacochtli were aztec warriors who used the atlatl. I am not sure on a name for the Moredain, but i suppose "spear thrower" or "dart thrower" or something of that nature would work for both. what i am suggesting in addition to the atlatl is a new tlacochtli unit for the Tauredain (fine, moredain too.) They would wield an atlatl with their respective tribes form of dart, and preferably have light armor (moredain is fine as gemsbok leather) such as reed or hide (croc hide? gemsbok?)(no mounted form).

Conclusion
thank you for reading this suggestion, if you have any problems with this, or suggestions for it feel free to post.
