I feel like Atmora should be somewhere in the first ten factions added, and the Dovahzul could be worked on alongside them, since they may be one of the smallest factions(probably only bigger than the Rangers of the North; the Dovahzul only have 3-4 mobs, less than a full armor set, and only two weapons, one block, one material, and one generic structure made of the materials found in their territory).

Here's some info on how the two could be implemented.

Atmoran Empire, specializes in heavily armored melee units and a lightly armored archer unit capable of fighting with a dagger. There would be four armor sets. Tripraetor armor, based on Roman cataphract armor in design and equal to High Elven armor in durability and Dwarven in protection(remember, they were taught how to forge better long ago by  student of Aulë). Made of Atmoran bronze, which is made by smelting bronze and coal in an Atmoran forge. A Tripraetor officer's helmet can be crafted by placing a Tripraetor helmet in the Atmoran crafting table with four Eagle(a mob that would spawn in the Empire's territory) feathers and a black wool block. There is a rare chance of Tripraetors spawning with this helmet. Atmoran Generals, the hiring NPCs, wear this armor except for the helmet, and have a red cape with a gold eagle emblem. Praetorian armor, made of Atmoran bronze and iron in the pattern used for Rohhiric armor before beta 25(Atmoran bronze on top, iron on bottom), giving one half-bar more protection than Gondorian armor and with the durability of High Elven. You can make a Praetorian officer's helmet by placing a Praetorian helmet in the table with one red wool. There is a rare chance of Praetorians spawning with this helmet. Praetorian armor looks similar to Greek hoplite armor. Atmoran Legionnaire armor, like a lorica squamata in appearance. High Elven durability and iron protection. Made of iron. A Legionnaire Centurion's helmet can be made with a Legionnaire helmet and three red wool above it, which produces a sideways crest. Atmoran Archer armor is made of leather on the side and two iron ingots in the center below the "neck hole", with iron durability and (regular) bronze protection. Atmoran equipment has High Elven durability and Gondorian damage, and is made of Atmoran bronze and anything considered a sword, dagger, or greatsword uses bones instead of sticks(many ancient weapons had bone handles). The sword is called a "Atmoran Spatha", the dagger is called a "Atmoran Pugio" and has a slightly shorter reach than other daggers but is slightly faster. The Atmoran claymore is made with the same recipe as a regular Atmoran Spatha but replacing the bone with a Spatha. It has slightly more reach than a sword, but is slightly slower(about the same percentage of difference for each stat). They have no battleaxe or warhammer, but they do have the Atmoran Dolabra, which is made like a Dwarven mattock but with Atmoran bronze, and has the same uses.

Dovahzul Tribes, who have only ONE unit other than the civilians(which only spawn in a hidden structure called a Dovahzul enclave, where Dovahzul Chieftains, several troops, and usually a merchant NPC can be found as well), the Dovahzul Warrior. Their chestplate is made of three Dovahzul steel(gray metal made in a Dovahzul forge with iron and coal, henceforth known as DS) on the upper right and upper left corners of the table, and another in the center, with the rest of the chestplate shape filled by leather. The boots are made of DS, the leggings are a DS "belt" and leather in the rest. Those three pieces have the protection of an iron set, and each piece has Dwarven durability. They have no helmet. Dovahzul weapons are made of DS and sticks, and have High Elven damage and Dwarven durability. The Dovahzul Zahkrii is like a sword, but should have 10% longer reach, be 5% slower, and look like a gray metal, curved, single-edged weapon with serration on the inside of the curve, and a small crossguard. The bow is made of DS and equal to a Near Haradrim bow in speed and damage, but High Elven durability. Dovahzul Warriors use a Dovahzul Zahkrii and a Dovahzul Bow. The Zahkrii can be poisoned. Whose side are they on? They hate the Atmorans, and all Far Haradrim save for the Tauredain, who they are neutral with. But they also fight with the other Free Peoples against Sauron's minions, when they are able.
