Ithilion, I only think that much of these empty spaces could have been filled with fewer factions, all or most of which adhere at least in part to lore.

Dragonovith, I'm talking about lore here. Not opinion, but lore. And everyone seems to use 'enjoyment' and 'better gameplay' against it, like that is a reasonable substitute when there is whole rule telling you 'keep your suggestions canon'. And no-one cares.

Maltalidenta Kwuitidherali, I actually didn't know that. But it doesn't seem a problem, as long as the words they are based off is something like 'and the Avari clans were [insert clan names]', or just references to different groups of Avari.

FutureFox, I am quite chill at present. In fact a chill feeling has come over me, as if I had just read a comment which was incredibly irrelevant. I am not speaking of reasonable suggestions like those of the denizens of Harad, which are not in the same context as the Rhunic ones. When adding non-lore based/ part lore based suggestions, the key is to be conservative and careful with what you say, and for the admins not to endorse too many factions with absolutely no basis in lore. Penni, Kindi, Cuind, Kinn-lai, Hwenti, Windan. There are also three mentioned cultural divides in the language, but Tolkien never said which was which. I've already made two languages (paheddacuincim and pahedtakindikim) for the Cuind and Kindi respectively, but they're hardly really functioning, and it's not even Western Avarin done.
