In JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Harad is the immense land south of Gondor and Mordor.  Its main port is Umbar, the base of the Corsairs of Umbar, whose ships serve as the Dark Lord Sauron's fleet.   The dark-skinned people of Harad are called Haradrim (South-multitude), Haradwaith, or Southrons by the people of Gondor. Their warriors wear scarlet and gold, and are armed with swords and round shields. Some ride gigantic elephants called mûmakil. Tolkien based the Haradrim on ancient Aethiopians, people of Sub-Saharan Africa, following his philological research on the Old English word Sigelwara. He based the Haradrim's use of war elephants on that of Pyrrhus of Epirus in his war against Ancient Rome.
