Oh, I'd forgotten about the Penni living in the Vale of Anduin. So, even canonically, it's stated that the Avari spread far and wide beyond Cuivienen. That's good, it confirms my own expectations that even Mirkwood Elves would have had many Avari among their population.

Yes, I would like to include those names somewhere in the mod, if we can find a place. It's - convenient - that Tolkien named so many clans, even without elaborating on them, because I often feel that having to come up with new faction names is somehow seen as the least acceptable part of inventing things to fill out the world. Nobody minds a few new people groups here and there, but the moment you name them, someone somewhere takes issue with it.

On the subject of Dorwinion, for the record, I'll also say that the way it's currently presented in the mod as Men = Farmers and Elves = Brewers is not how I'd like it to stay forever. That was just a quick and easy way to add the Men and Elves as distinct sub-populations in a limited timeframe. At some point we'll probably rework Dorwinion to be more of a Two-State Solution, with an overlapping Mannish kingdom and Elven communities occupying the same land, and then there will also be those redwood Avari, eventually.
