"In view of this, lumping everyone together under the heading of "Forsworn" felt little disappointing"
Thank you. Finally someone said it. I always saw it as a lack of potential of turning the Forsworn into something like the Ashlanders from Morrowind, who are divided into clans with strife and political intrigue between them and the more civilized folks. More secluded, clan like structures also have more of an incentive on being aggressive towards the foreigners, so it explains the open hostility towards the player.
With that in mind, I will test this out. I am curious on what plans you have next here. Hope to see some more twisted clans along the way too :)
I was just about to comment about Live and other Life too I love the Reach and the Reachmen and I've been hoping to see a mod like this for years, I wanted to tell the author to watch out for Druadach Red. since it's also touched by Live an other Life.
So yes, in Live an other Life, choosing the forsworn option you start in Druadach Redoubt, you are placed into the Druadach faction, but not the general Forsworn faction, meaning other forsworn are hostile to you.
Take a look at Skyrim Unbound @ https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71465 . You can start the game as a Rachmen (in the Reachmen faction). You can also start in many other factions.

I guess this has to do with representing the limited knowledge of the player character. And that the reachmen are adversaries with no vanilla friendly interaction, at most an armistice with one of the tribes, if you make a certain quest choice. But since ESO, Bethesda invested more on world building. In fact, there are plenty of stuff online, all canon.
"Folkstead and the Border of Hammerfell" by Joopvandie has a organized Reachman area with 2 villages just off the vanilla map, they are slightly less bloodthirsty than typical forsworn (they don't attack on sight). it seems like, if you have a political system in mind, that it would be a good less-modded group to work with?

And of course, there will be much more twisted clans too along the way, I flew a kite with this one a little bit:)
So will we be able to join these factions? Will they have quests?
You say that we can set our pc to be forsworn faction? That might cause town guards to attack us unfortunately.
Help me better understand
About this guards - don't worry, they won't attack you, I can assume you:)
You can start as a forsworn. I don't remember where you start at though....

The mod is a startup mod, like Live Another Life.
And yes, in Live another life you start as member of Madanach faction, so you won't be welcome in Bruca's Leap Redoubt
