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.
For visiting this area you will get achievement "Land of Wineyards".
Sub-biomes
Dorwinion is split to 2 sub-biomes:
- Dorwinion - the land, which lives on wineyards;
- Dorwinion Tradezone - the land, which lives on trading. Based around river Celduin.
Dorwinion Tradezone has less gardens, but more villages. There is a higher chance that a trader will come nearby to you.
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, plum 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, Plums, Plum Sapplings. There is also a house, made of Cherry Wood and Red Stained Clay.
- Forest - forest, containing Maples, Plum Trees 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, and also some red stained clay. 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. Armor is "silver scale with deep blue-purple cloak" (thanks to Ithilion for a good description), a little worse overall than Wood-elven. Their equipment, through, is very fast-paced.
- 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 "gold lammellar with purple decor, helm is cross between Rohan helm and vinking helm, but gold" (thanks to Ithilion again).
- 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.
Natural structures
- Plum Tree - a tree, growing exclusively in Dorwinion Forests and Gardens. It is lower than normal trees, but its leaves are pink (even pinker than Cherry ones), and Plums fall from them.
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.

Bladorthin Order
I mentioned that order in NPC section. It was created by the first and the last King Bladorthin a long time ago, to protect Dorwinrim from any Easterling invasions. Recently that order finally bought and recieved their spears, "which were never delivered", and it helped Dorwinion to retake Northern Celduin Coast for better trading.
Dorwinion never invades anyone, if only their enemy somehow gets into Dorwinion. But the Order does. It invades Wilderland (uncommon) and Rhun (uncommon). Easterlings/Logathrim/Balchoth/Wainriders will have a chance to invade Dorwinion Tradezone (uncommon) and normal Dorwinion (rare).
I hope you all enjoyed my MASSIVE suggestions. I hope Mevans won't get shocked by its size. :D
