I don't really have names yet, so I'll just assign them a number. I know that's a bit weird, but I come up with the ideas for them before the names. I always had a really hard time with names, it literally took me hours to decide on Veantur, Miriel, and Azruben :P

(This is just me kinda jotting down notes)

Anyways...

City 1. The capital city, located on the mouths of the Harad River (I always called it the Haruze, I think that's a cool name). Founded by the Numenoreans as a capital city for their Eastern provinces, made as the sister city of Umbar, although she eventually eclipsed Umbar in power later into the second and third ages. Ruled by a hereditary king(?) (still deciding on titles) ship, the kings powers are kept in check by a council of 40 black Numenorean nobles. The city of by far the largest, and a metropolis of the arts and culture. The people of this city tend to be a mix of many, although the most prominent race is Black Numenorean defendant, which means Haradic tan skin, light eyes, black hair, and a height beyond the dark men of middle earth

City 2. The southernmost (I think, I'll check once I have a map) of the city states, this city has a extremely tropical climate, although it is kept fresh by the almost constant sea breeze. This is probably one of the richest of all the cities, as it is an extremely mercantile city and is deep into the slave trade. It stands on a strategic point in the trade between the city states, and other nations. Although it is probably the richest, it is also the smallest city state, often hiring mercenaries and sellswords to defend it when in danger, it it ruled by an oligarchy of the 15 richest and most influential citizens, 8 of them being nobles and 7 of them being extremely rich nobles, although this fluctuates. Membership into the council is decided by the head oligarch (still working on titles) who is elected and serves for life. Technically, anyone of the upper classes can become head oligarch, although this has not happened for a thousand years and they almost exclusively raise up one of their own. The people of this city tend to be fair of skin and hair, although this is a generalization, and the people of thei city have produced many (in)famous beauties. They are deep into the slave trade, and specialize in bed-slaves, catering to every taste and desire. many of the most illustrious kings and nobles have looked here for wives and paramours, and the fame of these maidens has even reached Gondor.
