Bonjour-

I understand that the idea of Enedwaith and it's inhabitants have been repeated several times before, such as in Gorbag's http://lotrminecraftmod.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:296350 - but there are some notions that I disagree with- specifically their standing as a faction or subfaction, which I hope to fix.

(I am not going to talk too much in depth about specific places, history or units, as those have been covered before)

This suggestion mainly contradicts others in that I believe Enedwaith should not be it's own faction for two simple reasons- 1) The faction relations would be almost identical in the cases between Dunland and Enedwaith, mostly neutral with little allies, and 2) The Enedwaithirim themselves had a very minimal impact in the War of the Ring, and even more so as an individual state, they- like the Rhudaur, should be considered a lesser or even tributary group of people that are either subordniates or were dominated by greater nearby factions.

Structures
To keep up with the current standards of having houses set up in villages- the Fisher-Folk of enedwaith would have small lake-camps, as proposed in Gorbag's suggestion, which would have a couple of buildings.'   

Enedwaith Village



Enedwaith Hut



Enedwaith Chief's Hut



Enedwaith Forager's Hut



NPCS
Enedwaithirim

Nearly Identical to a regular Dunlending- major difference is that they run away when you have -300 with Dunland. They spawn in Enedwaith Villages and uncommonly in Enedwaith.

Enedwaith Clansmen

A weak, but reliable middle-man between a regular Enedwaith civilian and a full-fledged Dunlending Warrior, they wear leather, fur, bone, fish-leather or rarely dunlending armor, and any iron, bronze or enedwaith / dunlending equipment they can find. They spawn commonly in Enedwaith and moreso in Enedwaith Villages

Enedwaith Spearmen

The backbone of the Enedwaith military, they wield Enedwaith Bone spears, which they will throw until an enemy comes close enough, in which they will rush in with a sword (either iron or bronze). They wear fish-leather armor. They spawn commonly in Enedwaith and even moreso near Enedwaith Villages on land.

Enedwaith Guard

The strongest that Enedwaith has to offer- they are less of a military force and more of a defensive patrol, having 22 health, fish-leather armor and Enedwaith Dane-axes. They are hired for a large sum and are slower than most units. They spawn rarely near Enedwaith Villages on land.

Enedwaith Forager

A trader unit- they mostly buy raw fish, sell cooked fish, and trade random goods like a Scavenger. They are found in their respective hut.

Enedwaith Chief

All of the above units, except the Forager- can be hired from the Chief, who spawns in his own personal hut. You can buy an Enedwaith Horn of Conquest from a Chief.

Very rarely- even more so than Uruks fight, a skirmish might break out between Enedwaith Clansmen, or Enedwaithirim, not including the Spearmen and Guard, because of their savageness.

Items
Because I believe that Enedwaith should only be a sub-faction of Dunland  (for the reason that Dunland has nearly an identical alignment setting to them, and that the Enedwaith population were so insignificant in war that- like the Rhudaur, shouldn't be considered enough of a standing to be their own faction),  I don't think they should have that many Items

Tanning-rack

Wether this should be used for all leather in crafting recipes- I don't know, but it will definetly be used for fish-leather. It will NOT be enedwaith specific, and can be used by most anyone.It is crafted by placing 6 planks in rows on each side of the crafting table, and 3 sticks in a row inbetween. It can hold 10 items at a time. This item is placeable, and when Food spoiling comes into play, can be useful in helping to dry out meats and any fish. These will spawn in Foragers' huts with fish and fish scales laid upon it.

Fish scale

Fish scales are obtained by killing any water-faring mobs that may come in the future, and dissasembling fish by placing them in a crafting table, which yields 4 fish scales.Fish Leather Fish leather (Yes, that is the name) is made by placing fish scales on a tanning rack, which takes about 1 minute to dry.

Fish Leather armor

Made with Fish leather, Fish leather armor gives around 12 protection points, and increases speed when moving in water.

Enedwaith Dane-axe

The Enedwaith Dane-axe would have rather peculiar states, having around 7.5 damage, 65% speed and 150% range.



Enedwaith Bone Spear

Originally was going to be made out of Fish-bones, I decided that I didn't want to add more cluttered misc. items, and thus would just make this out of regular bones (Cheap of me, I know) It would have the exact same stats as a Bronze Spear- but with the added ability to be able to fish in water.



Enedwaith Banner

Exactly what it sounds like, it would have a fur base, with a fish skull engraved onto it, and 3 spears below. All of this would be crafted in a Dunlending Crafting table.
