This is kinda just me jotting down notes, so none of this is final.

City 4. This city is probably one of the most important to the slave trade. It was founded for exactly that purpose: to provide slaves to Numenor, who had fallen under the shadow. It is ruled by 2 princes elected by the citizens (non slave owning, higher class people), but the princes must be of the 2 Royal lines. People of this city tend to have reddish skin and black eyes, being decendants from exiles from the Dark Lands, although a Black Numenorean aristocracy is maintained. The City hires privateers and raiders to raid the coasts of the Dark Lands and Middle Earth and bring slaves and booty to the city. Because of the blood tax, which is enforced here more than in any other city, this city sports a slave military force, some of the most elite in the empire (think along the lines of the Jannisaries)

City 5. Known in Adunaic as the "flower of the desert", this city is centered around a large oasis. There are rich gold mines all around the desert, which make this city a rich one. The people of this city tend to be pretty much Haradrim, with a mix of Black Numenorean and Haradic princes, which are forbidden to interbreed. This city produces some of the finest cavalry in the land. They go on famous Haradic sand steeds, and are the main cavalry force of the empire. Although the rohhrim beat them on a grassy plain, these soldiers are far better performing in the desert. Families tend to be very extended, with cousins, uncles, aunts, and other relatives all living under one roof.
