It is a dark time in the lands of the south. The Near Haradrim and Half Trolls are allied with the dark lord Sauron. The Tauredain Empire is rising, in an attempt to spread their beliefs to the rest of Harad. They have conquered the Mangroves, and are attempting to destroy the Moredain. South of the jungles, the Cerinrim have been conquered by cultists, and have grown to hate the Moredain. Sauron has not yet attempted to influence the Moredain or Limwaith to follow him, for he is waiting until the Tauredain fail. The Moredain are allied with the Near Haradrim, who are allied with the Half-Trolls of Pertorogwaith, the and latter two are allied with Sauron. The time to fight is now, and the tribes of Harad need soldiers more than anything, and more than ever. The question is... Who will you fight for?

Factions:

Near Harad: Men who live in the fertile region between the great desert, and are closest to the north, and to Mordor. They are allies with the Moredain, Mordor, the Half Trolls, and will soon be allied with the Limwaith. They are enemies of the Tauredain and the Cerinrim.

Half-Trolls: They are the tall and intimidating humanoids from Pertorogwaith. They are allied with Sauron and the Near Haradrim, and will soon be allied with the Moredain and the Limwaith. They are enemies of the Tauredain, and especially hate the Cerinrim because of their beliefs of the Half-Trolls.

Moredain: Men of the savannahs of Far Harad, they gained their freedom from Near Harad just before the war. They worship the great lion. They are allied with the Near Haradrim and Half Trolls, soon to be allies with the Limwaith and Sauron.

Tauredain: Men of the jungles, they have the mightiest empire of the south. They worship the trees, and are attempting the spread this belief to the rest of Harad. They are enemies of everybody else in Harad and Mordor.

Limwaith: Their lands have been conquered by the Tauredain, and their home in the mangroves has been conquered. They have no current allies, but will soon be allied with the Moredain, Near Haradrim, Half Trolls, and Mordor. They are enemies of the Tauredain and Cerinrim.

Cerinrim: The men of the bushlands have been conquered by cultists, and sacrifice all to their war god. They are enemies with all of Harad, and though they currently know nothing of Sauron, they still hate the Moredain. They believe sacrificing a Half Troll is one of the highest honors. They are enemies with all of Harad.
