The Indomitable wrote: The Haradrim, taking advantage of the chaos, and weakening of the defenses, overwhelm the Gondorian fortresses in a series of swift, brutal assaults. Crowning their spiritual leader "King of the Haradrim." (I'm guessing most of what force remained was called north to defend the Gondorian throne.)

He sends a simple letter to the men of Umbar in their tongue:

I wish to meet whoever your king is, to see whether he is worth making common cause with... or whether he's one of the kings' my ancestors would kill.

-Yours, King (the remainder is signed in a script from in the Red Oases in the far east of Near Harad. One which few, if any foreigners know.) Seeing as Ithilien is on the borders, anyone with loyalties to the crown would have fled or been executed under the new policies of Ithilien, the only bordering territory. As such...

The letter is intercepted, reviewed, and allowed to proceed to the queen. An ambassador of Ithilien is sent to the southern border to discuss those matters with the Haradrim.
