Harad (Earth-1943)

Harad, also known as Haradwaith, is an immense uncharted continent south to Middle-Earth and west to Rhûn, home to the Men race of Haradrim and the Corsairs of Umbar. Harad is divided in two provinces by the peoples of Middle-Earth; Near Harad, which is south to Gondor and Mordor, and Far Harad, which is even more unexplored than Near Harad and home to the Argonians and the fearsome Mûmakil.

History
The city of Yeen was built on western Far Harad during an unknown period in the past. Although mysterious, it is known that the black stone upon the city was build through is similar to the idol found in the Isle of Toads.

Second Age
Multiple Haradrim were dominated by Númenóreans during the rise of their empire at the start of the Second Age. Following the War of the Last Alliance, the Númenóreans Herumor and Fuinur amassed tremendous power within some Haradrim societies, but their ultimate and what extent of power they acquired is unknown and unrecorded as far as maesters are concerned.

During it's duration, the Ghiscari Empire settled on Near Harad, constructing the city of Zamettar at Zamoyos, and created the prisons of Gorosh and Wyvern Point. These locations all declined with time, and were since pillaged by Corsairs of Umbar.
