Lore Factions
These are the factions you know and love from the Minecraft LOTR mod! However, here in The One Ring, each and every faction has extensive history! Read up on it below!

ANGMAR
Evil
The forces of Angmar are the dark faction that reside in the Valley of Angmar, a remnant of the dominion of the Witch-King of Angmar. Only the positively evil or extremely foolhardy player would dare to meddle with such a faction. The Hillmen of Rhudaur are the sub-faction of Angmar. They are also found in Angmar, as well as in the surrounding areas.

DALE
Good
The Kingdom of Dale is the kingdom of the Northmen in Rhovanion. Allied to the Dwarves of Erebor, they have grown wealthy thanks to trade with Dwarves, the Woodland Realm, and Dorwinion. Their army consists of brave warriors, archers, and cavalry equipped with high-quality mail and weapons, forged by the Dwarves of Erebor.

DOL GULDUR
Evil
Dol Guldur is an evil-infested region at the southwest corner of Mirkwood where Sauron lived before moving to Mordor. The forces of Dol Guldur represent the source of all corruption in the forests of Mirkwood, and their sinister urge to conquer directly contrasts the tranquil seclusion of their counterpart faction: the Wood-elves.

DORWINION
Good
Dorwinion was a very old kingdom founded in the first age by the Nandorin and Avari Elves. Later, in the Second Age, as Gondor reached its golden age, it assumed the rule of Dorwinion. An Easterling invasion in the second millennium of the Third Age effectively caused Gondor and Dorwinion to be split, and the remaining Men and Elves took over the rule of Dorwinion.

DUNEDAIN OF THE NORTH
Good
The Dúnedain of the North are the last descendants of the Dúnedain, men from the ancient kingdom of Númenor. They are often perceived as dangerous rogues, roaming the wilds throughout western Middle-earth. However, they are courageous, dour men who defend the Westlands against attack.

GONDOR
Good
Gondor was the kingdom of Men in Middle-earth, bordered by Rohan to the north, Harad to the south, the cape of Andrast and the Sea to the west, and Mordor to the east. Its first capital was Osgiliath, moved to Minas Tirith in TA 1640. The city of Minas Tirith remained the capital of Gondor for the rest of the Third Age and into years of the Fourth Age; other major fortresses include Dol Amroth in Belfalas and Osgiliath, which was a city on the Anduin.

ISENGARD
Evil
Isengard is a warlike faction, the brainchild of Saruman the White, who, seeking the One Ring, decided to make his own army to rival that of the dark lord. Aside from using ordinary Orcs from the Misty Mountains and allying with Dunland, he bred the Uruks. Born from Orcs and Men, they are significantly larger, faster, and stronger than the lesser snagae. Members of this faction take orders only from their creator, and wreak destruction wherever they go.

MORDOR
Evil
Mordor is the corrupted realm which the Dark Lord Sauron inhabited for the greater part of the Third Age. It is festering with foul creatures, most predominately the Mordor Orcs, that roam both day and night. The faction of Mordor is indisputably evil and formidable, acting as a force that threatens to engulf Middle-Earth and its Free Peoples in darkness. All of Middle-earth will fall sway to the Dark Lord and his servants!

NEAR HARAD
Evil
The Southrons of Near Harad are mostly isolated from the rest of Middle-earth. They do, however, have frequent disputes with their northern neighbours, the Gondorians, and as such they side with Mordor, whose lord (known to them as Melkor the Excellent) they worship. Most of the land belonging to this faction is inhospitable desert, routinely fought over by the many petty kingdoms of the Southrons.

RHUDEL
Evil
The Easterlings are a great kingdom of Men, bound to the will of their god, the Dark Lord, and are ready to serve him in his war against the Free Peoples. They are the grandest of all the kingdoms in the east, and they are skilled in the art of fire. They are also in a trade partnership with their neighbours, the Dorwidhrim. They also are known for their golden armour, hence the name, "Golden Easterlings".

TAURETHRIM
Good
The Taurethrim (Sindarin: Forest-men) roam the Jungles of Far Harad which they hold sacred. They have a feud with the Limwaith and the Morwaith, and members of either of those two factions would do well to avoid messing with the Taurethrim, for their warriors are the strongest warriors in the jungle, and they are the only faction to use blowguns.

WOODLAND REALM
Good
The Wood-elves (Silvan Elves) of the Woodland Realm are arguably the most dangerous of the Elven race, being both powerful warriors and distrustful characters at the same time. In fact, they will not hesitate to attack any player that does not have at least +50 alignment with their faction.
