This is exactly why it isn't a dwarven faction. Or maybe there's some other reason instead.
Well, we did share the previous server with Tempersia, which by all means it is now Dwarven Igneitium. We could say Ironfall had some influence as we still maintain good relations with our allies.
Still, I think having variety would be great for the RPing. Back on track.
The dudes from the LoR are making the Elven faction and their tree capital, I believe we have practically nothing to do with them so I guess Elves are scratched out of the list. Having already Igneitium as the main dwarven faction, making Ironfall another one would make it lose some of it's originality, sort of speak, so I guess we should choose another one. Like I suggested before, Human or Goblin seem to be good choices.
RPing and building as Humans would be easy, for that is our race IRL. They would be overall balanced, although a bit average and generic.
Now goblins would definitely be more interesting. Goblins are oftenly, if not always, described as wild, savage and dumb creatures, submissive to mightier foes. Yet I think Goblins shouldn't always be thought of like that. In some fantasy worlds, goblins are basically "mean" dwarves. They to make great constructions and craft quality items. Their numbers are probably their strength.
It's up to you guys.
