* FactionCalculus: The Edain mod breaks up a few factions and retools others, resulting in some shifts from the base game. While Gondor and Angmar remain Balanced, Mordor remains Horde, Isengard remains Powerhouse and Misty Mountains remains Subversive, Rohan is a mix of Horde (its infantry) and Powerhouse (its cavalry). The Iron Hills Dwarves remain Powerhouse with a focus on defense, while Erebor takes on aspects of Cannon and Ered Luin takes on bits of Subversive. Lastly, Lothlorien is a mix of Cannon and Subversive, while Imladris is a pure Powerhouse.

** A Mode in most Gamemodes features a Wandering Gollum who carries the One Ring. Unlike in the base game, claiming the Ring will not result in summoning Galadriel for Good or Sauron for Evil. Instead, specific heroes are able to claim the Ring for themselves, gaining power equal to their will. A man like Boromir will drastically rise in power, but will be corrupted and die after a short while. Gandalf will be corrupted if he claims the Ring while still "the Grey", but will master it as "the White". Elrond will summon the Fellowship instead of taking the Ring himself, etc.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation:
** If Angmar's Witch-King finds the One Ring, he will use it himself instead of taking it to his master Sauron.
** Theoden can claim the Ring and become quite powerful with little real downsides and no threat of corruption.
** On the other hand, ''Wormtongue'' can claim the Ring. If Rohan's Corrupted Theoden finds it, Wormtongue will become King of Rohan and Theoden will become a slave to him. Note that Grima will not be corrupted in the same way as Boromir at any point, despite being a weaker man who should, by all accounts, become a creature like Gollum.

!! The mod features the following tropes:
*ActionGirl: Arwen, Eowyn and Galadriel, as in the base game. The Mod adds Tauriel, a character from the Hobbit movies, and Helegwen, a female Archer serving Angmar. The Player can also create their own with the Create-a-Hero feature of the base game, updated by Edain.
*AdaptionalBaddass: As with the base game, many characters and even entire kingdoms can count as this. Some notable examples:
** Hobbits in general. While not overly powerful, Merry and Pippin can take out hordes of enemies alone, including groups of possibly thousands-of-years-old Elven Warriors. Bandaboras Took (an Arnor-spellbook summon) can knock down any number of Villains, up-to and including the Witch-King, with little more than a wooden club.

It takes its name from the Sindarin word for "Men", Edain (pronounced "Eh-Dine").
