You can order them, but there Must be individuality. Also, a Secret council would be good (We want Sauron to think we have the ring, so you can be "supreme ruler." Just make it look similar to one of those communistic countries that have a "democracy." Umm... Since I am in command, my sigil flies highest among them, and since I do not represent a nation but rather my own self, my symbol is acceptable to all. They have their banners, but as leader my banner represents the army as a whole.

I am not "supreme ruler", a better term would be "commanding officer." And Sauron knows, out of all the peoples of Endorë, I would not take the Ring, ever. Unless it was to destroy it, I would not go within a foot of it, which is why I let Coaxotl retrieve it. I have Gandalf and Galadriel's reason; I'm simply too powerful. I would be doing what I thought was good, but would end up being a worse tyrant than Sauron. The power of the Ring, coupled with my incredibly strong Elvish magic and my ability to control the Aristotelian elements? No-one short of the Valar themselves could defeat someone that powerful.

I'm not a fan of communistic democracies. I really would prefer that this army is a meritocracy, where you earn your position though your actions. No test is as good as seeing someone's deeds when they don't think you're watching.

Morgul, yes, the Rohirrim are with the Twilight Alliance.

(I named it the Twilight Alliance because of twofold reasons:

1: It marks the difference between Elves, Dwarves, and Men; Elves are lovers of night, Men are creatures of the day, and Dwarves live in the eternal brilliance of the Fëanorian lamps.

2: Twilight Alliance sounds cool.) The last part of my post was apart of a shift of thinking, so I started thinking of ways to hid the fact; or how Sauron would percieve it. Also, the diference between good and evil is good can imagine the possibility of Evil. Also, Sauron would still think you could take the ring, since it could threaten his Rule.
