A HISTORY OF THE SOUTHERNMOST LANDS OF MIDDLE-EARTH
Of all the Dark Lord's servants that took to the Pelennor Fields, none were so deadly as the Haradrim, the masters of the monstrous Mûmakil. This sourcebook is the definitive guide to the land of Harad and of the armies that march in the service of its cruel chieftains. Thousands of vile Orcs and cruel Easterlings marched on Minas Tirith with murder in their black hearts, yet amongst this host, it was the mighty Mûmakil of the Haradrim that led the slaughter in Sauron's name.
Mahûd and Haradrim Raiders ride alongside the great War Mûmaks of Harad.

he Haradrim hail from the southernmost lands of Middle-earth, where the landscape is dominated by serpent-infested plains and arid deserts. In this unforgiving realm, anarchy is held in check solely by the ruthless will of iron-fisted leaders. Conflict here is as much a part of life as the drawing of breath, with scores of nomadic tribes vying for control of the ancient stone citadels that rise from the barren expanses like broken teeth.The southlanders are a cruel race of Men, their hearts long ago hardened by the weight of a bloody history and their destiny tied irrevocably to that of Sauron.
ost Haradrim do not kneel to the Dark Lord as a deity. Nonetheless, the vast armies of Harad are completely at Sauron's command, bound not through worship or fear, but by a resolute and unyielding enmity with Gondor, the scion of sundered Númenor. This rancour harkens back to ancient times, when the Númenóreans first exerted their power upon the southlands, but in truth the Haradrim were always a barbaric and uncivilised people, long associated with deeds of unspeakable ruthlessness.
nly the Dark Lord's order is needed to release the Haradrim army to slaughter, and now as darkness chokes the sky, the Lord of the Rings has issued that command. So it is that the Haradrim legions, the largest army of Men assembled for 3,000 years, ravage the bloody Pelennor at the Dark Lord's direction. Online Store:
