Harad

From t2twiki

Harad "The South" is the name the free peoples of the west gave to the lands south of Gondor and Mordor. Men, the Haradrim inhabit it. They are far different from the men of the west or even their nearer kin, the Easterlings. They have dark skin, ranging from dusky brown to nearly black. In the deserts, plains and jungles of the south, they have established many kingdoms, strong and proud, with fierce armies and scimitar armed warriors and mighty múmakil, known as oliphaunts, that aids them in battle. THough some are barbaric and cruel, others have long traditions, customs and realms they would hold equal to any in Middle-earth.
