**Overview:** Near Harad, is the home-land for the Haradrim (a.k.a Southrons). It is a large territory that lays south of Gondor, south-west of Rhun, and east of Umbar. Near Harad is mostly a vast desert, but in the middle of the desert, there is a fertile land with trees, water, flowers, etc. In this land the Haradrim can live a peaceful and successful lives. North of the desert lays Harondor (South Gondor), where Gondorians and Haradrim skirmish for the land.

**Family Tree:** The current royal family of Harad (The Fuincarns) ascended to the throne after Fuinur's great grandfather led a small group of Black Numenorians from Umbar into the palace and held them (Delquec) captive until they surrendered the throne. After years of living under the corruption of the previous family the Fuincarns became popular for bringing an age of prosperity and peace to the land. Harad was previously torn into many clans again however Fuinur's father was able to successfully unite the clans an accomplishment that would bring further prosperity to Harad.
