Description
i imagine the Hwenti as being the least settled of the Avari, living as nomads and building few structures, relying on natural caves, or groves of trees, much like Woodhall in the Shire.

in addition to modern reconstructions of Ice Age hunters, most of my ideas of the Hwenti are based on the Nandor, although rather than primitive vegetarian forest elves, i imagine the hwenti as delighting in the hunt and following herds of wild game across the wide steppes of Rhûn.

i also envision of them as a great friend to beasts, keeping tamed hawks and wolves and other animals that aid them in the hunt. i also like the idea of elves keeping large wolves, almost as a counterpoint to the wargs, although i admit its a bit incongrous to the greater mythological fabric of Middle earth and the role that wolves usually occupy (although i would also like to point out that the evil wolves of sauron et. al. are wolf bodies possessed by fell spirits, rather than just animals with a bad reputation)
so i think of the hwenti occupying a lot of the wildman/noble savage archetype. making few objects and living with the rhythms of nature moreso than any other elven kindred.
