Some, or, let's be honest, many ideas for future faction Dorwinion.

Short info
Dorwinion, land of wines, was a trade republic, just like Esgaroth, in South-Eastern Wilderland, at the shores of sea of Rhun. It is populated by Dorwinrim (Northmen) and Avari. Its national colors are red and purple.

Sub-biomes
Dorwinion is split to 2 sub-biomes: Dorwinion Tradezone has less gardens, but more villages. There is a higher chance that a trader will come nearby to you.
 * Dorwinion - the land, which lives on wineyards;
 * Dorwinion Tradezone - the land, which lives on trading.

Variants

 * Steppe - very flat version of Dorwinion. You can meet villages of Dorwinrim here. Often to meet.
 * Flower Plains - version of Steppe with abdunance of flowers. Very often to meet.
 * Garden - takes 1, 4 or even 9 chunks. This is where grapes, maple and cherry trees grow. There are some Dorwinrim Farmers, from whom you can buy Maple Syrup, Maple Sapplings, Red Wine, Grapes, Grape Seeds, Cherries, Cherry Sapplings, and a house, made of Cherry Wood and Red Stained Clay.
 * Forest - forest, containing Maples and some normal trees. This variant is rare and even rarer in Dorwinion Tradezone.

Structures

 * Village - always spawns on Riavod waypoint. Possible structures there:
 * House - village always spawn atleast 2 of them. It is either made of maple wood, cherry wood or both. Spawns Dorwinrim inside. First floor has a kitchen, big chest, barrel with Red Wine and stairs to second floor. Second floor is smaller, but has a balcony, bed and Dorwinrim Workbench.
 * Rich House - compared to normal House, it is always made of Cherry Wood, has 2x3 either Wood-elven or Dorwinrim gate instead of door, many paintings inside, flowers pots and red/orange/purple carpet. Village has a 75% chance to spawn it.
 * Avari House - somewhat similiar to High Elven Hall, but only one floor high. Atleast one spawns in village.
 * Market has 4 kiosks:
 * Avari Kiosk - sells Avari cosmetic stuff.
 * Avari Smithy - sells Avari equipment and armor. They have durability like Wood-elven, but in practice they are a little worse.
 * Dorwinrim Farmer - sells grapes, wine, maple syrup, etc.
 * Dorwinrim Smithy - sells Dorwinrim equipment and armor. Dorwinrim equipment is influenced by Elven, so it has Battlestaffs. Their armor is more open, like Wood-elven is.
 * Fortress - spawns only in Dorwinion Tradezone to protect it from Easterlings. Some Dorwinrim warriors, one Banner Carrier and Captain spawn there. It is 1 floor high building, with Watchtower built in. Inside of Watchtower, there is an Archer.

Waypoints and roads

 * Riavod - main port of Dorwinion. X: 124800, Z: 16640.
 * Road from River Gate to Riavod. Follows River Celduin.

NPC

 * Dorwinrim - a man somewhat similiar to Rohirrim, but wears red or purple robe, and usually has beard.
 * Female Dorwinrim - because there is no Rohirrim Female, I will base it on Dunlending Female, less wild and with Dorwinrim outfit.
 * Dorwinion Avari - an elf, assimilated by Dorwinrim. Doesn't look very different from Dorwinrim, but has no beard, and has eyes and height of elf.
 * Dorwinrim Warrior - Dorwinrim with a full set of Dorwinrim armour. Equips either Dorwinrim sword or battlestaff, with which he is dangerous because of reach. Can be bought if +150 Alignment for 30 silver coins.
 * Dorwinrim Archer - equips Avari or Wood-elven bow. Equipped like Dorwinrim Warrior. Can be bought if +200 Alignment for 40 silver coins.
 * Avari Mercenary - equips Avari bow, and Avari Battlestaff in case of melee attack. Equips very light Avari Armour. Deals a lot of damage but has small defense. Can be bought if +300 Alignment for 50 silver coins.
 * Dorwinrim Banner Carrier - Dorwinrim Warrior with banner. Gives effects like any other Banner Carrier. Can be bought if +300 Alignment for 50 silver coins.

Faction itself
I hope you all enjoyed my MASSIVE suggestions. I hope Mevans won't get shocked by its size. :D
