The Avari mostly try to remain neutral, but they had to fight and they are a force to be reconed with.

#### The southern Orocarni

There are two dwarven calns fighting for and suplying the Lavanedain: the Stonefoots and the Blackbeards. The Stonefoots are master builders and they do not want the easterlings to destroy their buildings! Their weapons and armour are made out of pure sarncaran and are least strong dwarven equipment. The blackbeards are stronger dwarven race with obsidian gear and black beards, they do not doubt to fight on the side of their Stonefoot kin.

### Sauron's allies

These are the factions fighting for the dark lord:

#### Wainriders

The countless golden Horde of Rhûn. They fight in dangerous chariots and wains, they build large settlements and their armour is made out of the powerfull sunsteel. Their leader is known as Gisheng Khan the terrible and he won't stop until all of Rhûn will fight on his side.

#### Balcoth

The hordes of northern Rhûn. They are less civilized than the wainriders and are a nomadic folk. They ride on chariots too, but their armour is infiriour to that of the wainriders because it is made out of fur and iron. They may not be that strong, but they make it up in their large numbers.

#### Variags

The Hordes of Khand. They ride on horses instead of chariots, but their armour is made out of the powerfull sunsteel and is even more dangerous than that of the wainriders.

#### Anorrim

A folk worshipping the sun. They are not known for their strong armour and weapons, but for their huge variety of units. Their shogun is really in doubt of what the right side is.
