there we go! I made a map of the kingdom of Dorwinion! As you can see, the Anduin, Mirkwood's northern edges and the Ash Mountains form natural borders, while the dotted lines represent regular borders. You can see my most prominent cities here, including my capital Minas Tolned, Coldwind Village, my primary trade city, Armonia, a city built to keep an eye on the east end of Mordor, the Woodland Realm, and Haven, a place where refugees from Gondor and Rohan can make a home, safe within it's walls. You may also notice the dashed and dotted line that runs through Gondor and Rohan. This is called the refugee road. It was built to allow refugees passage into the safety of the Kingdom. While the road was once heavily patrolled, it has been mostly left alone in Gondor as all the refugees have fled now. It is still patrolled in Rohan, though. You may also see that the Kingdom maintains a fortress along the road high in the White Mountains. This was built as a safe place for refugees to rest, and now serves as a guard, as it is in one of the few safe passages through the mountains. And now, a bit about my Kingdom.

Prominent allies:

Kingdom of Khand

West Rohan

Durin's Folk

Prominent enemies:

Rhunnic horde

Mordor

All Western evil factions

People they don't like but aren't at open war with:

Empire of Harad

Principality of Umbar

Now for my forces. Based on what I know about you, lotrings, I'd guess we have basic gunpowder weapons at least. So here goes.

20,000 Dorwinion infantrymen

15,000 Dorwinion archers

10,000 Dorwinion cavalry, with their skills augmented by their Rohirric allies.

250 trebuchet units, built using knowledge of Gondorian siege weaponry

2,500 Silver Knights, an elite unit decked out in full body armor, often riding horses, follow code akin to our knights.

2,500 Dorwinion riflemen, specialty ranged warriors armed with specialized Dorwinion muskets. These muskets have been reconfigured for slower reload time but far greater accuracy.

50 Siege cannons, Dorwinion cannons with explosive shells and their accompaniment.

100 Golden Guard, a hyper-elite and hyper secretive order of Knights based in the Golden Fortress. They are highly decorated with big curvy pauldrons and ornate armor and big billowing capes.

2 White Knights. These are something else entirely. None but the King and a few others have ever seen a White Knight. They never leave the hidden courtyard in the Golden Fortress, and they constantly guard the sapling of the White Tree. Their armor and equipment is not nearly as ornate as that of a Golden Guard, but their armor and weapons are laced with Mithril. These are some of the few people in the world capable of beating a Golden Guard in one-on-one combat.

1 Sunfire cannon. Nobody knows quite where this came from. It is a cannon much larger than the average one, and much more ornate. It has a greater range, greater firing rate and greater explosive yield than the standard cannon. Some hypothesize that it came from the same hidden vault where the King got Sunfang, his sword.
