As Mevans has said, the lands of Far Harad ( and most likely Rhûn) are mostly if not all non canon, so my question to you is this, and note, this is a question and theory, I am in NO way asking for any of this to be added. so,

My main focus here is dwarves, yes, we have a main idea...For durin's folk. Mevans has based all of his ideas on the base of Durin's folk, and put those as the blue mountains clans and probably the red mountain clans as well. But all 7 clans were diverse and with different weapons styles and warfare and peace, we learned, for example, the broadbeams (Or was it firebeards?) were very warlike and declared war on the elves, and the firebeards(broadbeams?) are more peace like and stay away from such things, what i offer is, for my first question: Why dont we ad a more cultural diversity to the clans? For example, the broadbeams would be archer based, with many skilled archers and light armored warriors (Meaning some kind of dwarven leather/iron armor hybrid, or simply add a new armor called dwarven chainmail) and the firebeards would be able to have heavy warriors, but only have axethrowers. (This would continue for the others, say the ironfists have alot of good cavalry, and Durins folk would be a mix of all, but they would be MUCH pricier)

Second question: Lore dark spots. See, like i said before, Tolkien never really developed dwarves, i mean think, dwarves used to just be evil merceneries of mordor, now they are literally one of the most uncorruptable races in middle-earth, then we have their fate, Tolkien said they dwelled in moria until they died out, but then said he didnt like that and had them live till the end of days. This brings me to another point: What lore can we and can we not trust? Say what tolkien sai, that dwarves didnt domesticate animals, but we see them riding ponies later, so when someone asks for something that seems impossible, think of this paragraph.

Third and final question: Movie lore. Now, if any of you read my blog post you will learn that warner brothers, not jackson, are the greedy money flounging pigs, now lets think again, what part of the movies would realistically be impossible for that race? Elves defying gravity? Yes i admit that part wouldnt fit...but dwarves with excellent ram cavalry? Possible, if we think to what i said on paragraph 2. No i am not saying we need to add wood-elven armor like the movies (Thats a whole other topic i chose to stay out of...) but Mevans and other people, look at this and really think of all the things people asked for, and how impossible to lore they really could be. The farther away from Gondor and rohan we get, the fainter the lore becomes.

Thats all, Aurae out.
