I found some interesting things looking through older LOTR lore.

Tolkien had a china planned out in the 'Uttermost East' which is the Sun lands. Here is for that:http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Uttermost_East

Here is an old map for reference:



It's supposed to be middle earth's version of the Gobi but to me it makes no sense why it is then split off from the rest of Rhun (Asia)

Also what exactly are the Dark lands? It looks like Australia, Antarctica, Philippines, and all the islands of the south china sea combined?
