    Since this thread hasn't been closed I'll post here little list of mine from dev forums.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    I noticed that in --Progress-- thread reads that 5-10% of traits and ancillaries have already been made. I'm not sure who is making them but I'll give here some of my own ideas.

    First titles, that means ancillary or trait which you get to your general or family member if he stays couple turns in settlement. This can be get only if some other general or family member doesn't already have it.

    Silvan Elves, High Elves and Dwarves


    Lord of Mithlond
    Lord of Rivendell
    Lord of Lórien
    Lord of Ered Ethring
    Lord of Gundabad


    And so on for every city and castle...

    As an exception general or family member who stays couple turns in Erebor should have this title.

    King of Erebor or King under the Mountain

    Kingdom of Rohan, Kingdom of Dale and Eriador

    Hmm, maybe Duke will do it...

    Duke of Wold
    Duke of Westfold
    Duke of Breeland


    And so on for every city and castle...

    And there's exceptions.

    Master of Lake-town
    Lord of Dale
    Lord of Edoras

    Gondor

    Title Lord of Minas Tirith should only be available for faction leader only

    Lord of Emyn Arnen
    Lord of Pelargir
    Lord of Lossarnach
    Lord of Dol Amroth

    And so on for every city and castle...

    Mordor, Isengard, Orcs of Misty Mountains, Rhûn and Harad

    Chieftain of Nurn
    Chieftain of Cirith Ungol
    Cieftain of Carn Dûm


    And so on for every city and castle...

    And there's exceptions.

    Lord of Barad-dûr
    Lord of Minas Morgul
    Lord of Dol Guldur
    Lord of Umbar
    Lord of Orthanc

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Then some traits for leaders of factions.

    Gondor

    Steward of Gondor

    Kingdom of Rohan

    King of the Mark
    (if we are accurate this title fits better than King of Rohan, because rohirrim called their land Mark, Rohan was name given by people of Gondor)

    Kingdom of Dale

    King of Dale

    Eriador

    Chieftain of the Dúnedain (this is difficult because Eriador actually wasn't faction and if I have to choose between Thain, Major of Michel Delving and Chieftain of the Dúnedain, I will choose Chieftain of the Dúnedain)

    Dwarves

    King of Durin's Folk

    High Elves

    High King of Noldor
    (that would sound epic, in theory Elrond was High King of Noldor even he didn't have that title or rulership of Lindon)

    Silvan Elves

    King of the Woodland Realm (my opinion is that Thranduil should be faction leader of Silvan Elves because he had heir and Celeborn didn't have, though Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen were his grand children)

    Mordor

    Dark Lord of Mordor

    Isengard

    Lord of Orthanc (sorry, couldn't make up anything better )

    Orcs of Misty Mountains

    Orc-chieftain of Gundabad (sorry, couldn't make up anything better )

    Harad

    Chieftain of Harad

    Rhûn

    Chieftain of Rhûn

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Then some race and misc. traits.

    Gandalf the Grey, Radagast the Brown and Saruman the White

    Istari
    Maia

    Dwarves

    All dwarves of royal family and almost every general should have this trait.

    Longbeard

    Dwarves of Durin's Folk were called Longbeards.

    Some few generals and adopted family members should have another of these traits.

    Firebeard
    Broadbeam


    Dwarves of Ered Luin during First Age were called Firebeards and Broadbeams.

    Royal house of stewards, royal house of Dol Amroth and chieftains of the Dúnedain

    Dúnedain

    This could also be given rarely to generals and adopted family members because there were only few pure dúnedain left in Gondor.

    Perhaps the leader of Harad could be called "The serpent Lord" in the ROTK book Theoden kills the Harad leader called "The black serpent"

    The leader of Harad would be known as "Grand Serpant" (sorry, I'm a perfectionist ).

    My list of thingys:

    Anduil
    Mithril Vest
    That gem in the Hobbit
    King Under the Mountain for Dwarven leader

    That last one doesn't fit because capital of dwarves can change, I believe that if dwarves would have returned to Khazad-dûm their king would lived there. Actually that happened during 4th Age when Durin VII was king.

    Whatever general possesses the One Ring must have 10 dread until it's given to another general (if only there was a way to decrease the chance of death post-65 with an ancilliary...)

    Also, perhaps there's a 50% chance the game will crash when you attempt to switch the One Ring ancilliary to another general LOL

    Prince of Dol Amroth perhaps? That's what he's called in the Norwegian book.

    That can be ancillary but not title because Lord of Dol Amroth was title of Prince of Dol Amroth.

    Maybe... I watched "King of the Mark" from Tolkien Gateway and there was said that it was title of Rohan's king in Rohan.

    Default Re: retinue and traits

    The King of the Mark is the King of Rohan.If you want some longer titles than it would be King of the Ridder-mark.The name the Eotheod gave to their new homeland of Calenardhon was Ridder-mark and thus their King was King of the Mark or the Ridder-mark.Rohan(d) was the name given to the country by the son of Cyrion(Steward of Gondor) and it originated from the Sindarin Rohhirim whis means Horselords and thus the name of the land - Rohan(d)-Land of the Horse(lords).

    From Tolkien Gateway:

    The King of the Mark was an equivalent title to 'King of Rohan', probably more commonly used in Rohan itself.
    That's why I think that faction leader of Rohan should have that title.

    This mod is still in development (and hasn't been released), heroes might come in later releases, but not in the first.
