Hello, my friends!! Welcome to the seventh suggestion in the series detailing improvements to various biomes of Middle-earth. Here shall be talking about the plains of the Riddermark. The prior suggestions can be found here:

Lorien and Surrounds

Southern Vale of Anduin

Emyn Muil

Dead Marshes

Barrow-downs

Old Forest

Biome Improvements:

In the mod, the biome is not the lushest grass green in all of Middle-earth. It's brown. This should be changed. The grass should be made brighter than the Shire, even, in keeping with the fairest grassland in all Middle-earth.

The plains were Long-grass prarie, and sometimes reached the knees of people riding across the plain. The majority of grass blocks should have two-block high grass growing on it, and the rest should have one-block high. Flowers and ferns should be scattered in between.

The Forest variant and all similar biomes should also be removed. It's not fitting for there to be trees in the midst of a plain.

The lowlands of Rohan were very fenny as well. Pools of water and reeds should be found commonly, though in some biomes more commonly than others.

Finally, the Wold should be made hillier and green-grey, not the brownish it is now. Rohirrim should be very rare, and no structures should spawn. The grass is short here

New Biomes:

-Rohan Downs: Like the Wold, save less hilly and Rohirrim Herd-camps can be found occasionally. The grass here is short as well, and it is dry.

-Eastemnet: The least populated part of Rohan, and one of the wetter ones. Pools of water and reeds are common here, and the only structures are Herd-camps. Horses are very common in this biome. Mordor can invade here on occasion.

-Westemnet: The wettest part of the Mark. Villages and structures are rare, but Herd-camps are very common, as are horses.

-Eastfold: Between Westfold and Eastemnet in terms of wetness. Villages and homes are common here, as are Rohirrim. Mordor can invade rarely.

-Westfold: The driest part of the Mark, the Westfold has many villages and homes in it. Dunlendings and Isengard can invade, but they no longer spawn at night.

-Folde: The most populous part of the Mark and center of the realm. Homes, herd-tents, and villages are very common here, as are Rohirrim. It is medium wetness.

-Harrowdale: A hilled, dry dale under the shadow of Dwimmorberg. Villages are fairly common here.

-Fens of Entwash: Found along the Entwash river, the fens are a sunken strip of pools and dense reeds. No NPCs spawn here.

-Snowbourne Wood: A marshy swamp filled with reeds, thickets, and willows. No NPCs spawn here.

-Adornland: Formerly the Westmarch of Rohan, now a land overrun by Dunlendings. They live around Frecasburg, a waypoint at the spring of the Adorn. Dunlending structures are found here.

Structures:

Herdsman Camp: A green tent or group of green tents surrounded by horses. A Rohirrim Horseherd spawns here, and he sells armor, saddles, and leads.

Rohirrim houses, farms, and barns can be found alone in the plain without a village. Many Rohirrim lived in solitary hamlets on the plain.

Thank you for reading this suggestion about the Land of the Riddermark! As always, comments, kudos, and constructive critiscism is most welcome.
