Eledhels of course have their white horses but they use them rarely, nearly never and if they do its only for few of them. So it is very limited and we can say they do not have cavalry at all (heroes/lords could use horses).
About moredhels you're right. Maybe those were only forest clans that do not use horses. I get confused after reading "honoured enemy" it looks like I have to read the first saga again.
Btw. I found that typical Eledhels were blond and had blue eyes, moredhels dark hair, dark eyes, nothing about skin.
Yea, Eledhel are fairer beings, like the legalos from LOTR. The Moredhel look exactly like them, except darker features, think the dark elves, darker skin colour (tanned), dark hair colour, dark eye's etc. Glamedhel look exactly like Eledhel, except with wild features and red hair I believe, like wild elves from DnD. The ones from Notherium (I forget the name) have more human like features, except not human, like Wood Elves from DnD I think. The ones Elder from Tsuranni have silver hair, like the moon elves from DnD. No idea about the Star Elves, haven't read the book.
The difference between clans in the Moredhel is usually that the Deep-Forest Moredhel tend to be trackers and rangers. The Mountain Moredhel tend to be fighters, or savage barbarians, sometimes mountain focused trackers. The Hill and Moss Moredhel are basically all rounders. The only difference in clans is there nature in survival and culture. The Deep Forest Moredhel tend to have a strict code of honour, tribal in nature really, like the Hadati. The Moss Moredhel in contrast don't have any scruples.
Best books to find out about moredhel are Silverthorn and Darkness over Sethanon. Tsuranni culture and miltary style is best described in the books by Janny Wurts and Mr Feist, Daughter, Servent and Mistress of the Empire. Kesh is best described in Prince of Blood and some of the serpent war saga maybe...
On Mercs:
Nighthawks and Panthian Serpent Priests would be a no no. There far to focused to be used as assassins or merc's, rather choosing to be horriable killing machines whom server chaos.
Perhaps include a Nighthawk or Panthian as a companion avaliable if your loyal to the Moredhel.
Possiably Mockers would be a good alternative, specialised units only avaliable in Calradia.
Samatian Pirates could be merc's, they tend to be a sort avaliable for hire to anyone.
Also Durbin Slavers, from great kesh.
The Natal rangers wouldn't help any friends of Great Kesh, since Natal is a free city and rebelled against the rule of Great Kesh hundreds of years ago.
You could add a type of unit by the name of Roldem Duelist. Since Roldem is an Inedpendant Eastern Island kingdom.
Quegian Slavers or Pirates again.
