I knew I should have brought a bit o rope! As we all know, Sam, for the major portion of the Fellowship of the Ring, was annoyed by his lack of rope. Then, as a gift from Galadriel, he gets a nice piece of it. It occurred to me that this could be a very important item for the mod. It works like this: You can attach the rope to any solid block, and then climb down verticle angles as if it were a ladder. There would also be a limit to the rope's size, but I'm not sure what that would be. It could also be used to climb verticle angles by throwing it (by right clicking), it would then automatically "tether" itself to any solid block it touches. This may seem pointless to some, but I will point out that for a Middle Earth Adventure Mode Challenge this would be absolutely necessary, and even just to eliminate random pillars of cobblestone in the Misties too. This would be crafted with four string in the lead formation, but without the slime. There would be a normal variant that cannot be taken down after you climb down from it, and an elven kind crafted on a Galadhrim crafting table that you could always retrieve (like when Sam pulled on the rope and by magic, it just came untied and fell to him so they could reuse

Galadhrim scouts

Very easy: They wear grey cloaks, use Galadhrim bows, and may even get a speed or stealth bonus like the Rangers and wood elves. There will be a Galadhrim scout armor too. And be careful: They could shoot you in the dark if you make even a little noise.

Redesigned flets: Nothing major here, just that in the book, it says that there were no railings on the fleet that the Company took shelter in on their first day in Lorien

Spawning: Lorien Elves were seldom seen. The Company did not meet any until Legolas began climbing a tree, and then that was because the elves were up in the tree. Whenever I visit the mod Lorien, I find many, many elves right away. My idea is to have them spawn exclusively in flets (similar to how orcs spawn more often by their camps), or the scouts in little scout groups, though still rather rare.

Seasons: I know this is not specifically Lorien-Oriented, but seasons would greatly affect Lorien. Legolas, when he speaks of Lorien says that the leaves fall not until the spring, but then they are grown again very quickly to make it golden above and below. Well, very easy (to say, anyways), In summer, all blocks in weather-affected biomes (not places like Near Harad, Forodwaith, Mordor, etc.) look green and healthy, in fall, they begin to look a bit mor dry, and the colors of the trees' leaves get dryer too (changing color would cause it to be difficult to distinguish different tree types), and leaves would cluster around the base of the tree, and all trees would have the leaf falling animation. In winter, trees keep they dry leaves and fallen leaves, but instead of rain in many biomes, it will snow. In spring, the trees will again look bright and green, and the fallen leaves will begin to break on their own (slowly).

Thank you for reading my longest suggestion ever, feel free to post your ideas, and don't forget to kudos!
