Recently, Mevans change South Gondor to Harondor. I really admire him （or you, if you are reading this post right now), but I have a very small request to him: Please use the name in the book.

You can view the definition of Harondor here:

The Sindarin name of South Gondor, which appears on the 1st Edition maps for The Lord of the Rings from 1954 (RC/lxiii), but only in its English translation in later Lord of the Rings maps (1980 forward)...

Moreover, the texts of the Lord of the Ring only use the "South Gondor".

I list every quotation from the legendarium including this place:
 * ...; and the region of South Gondor became a debatable land between the Corsairs and the Kings. (Appendix A, "The Númenorean Kings", "Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion")
 * But his chief peril lay in the south, where the Haradrim had occupied South Gondor, and there was much fighting along the Poros. (Appendix A, "The Númenorean Kings", "Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion")

Harondor is not found.

Apparently, Harondor is an outdated and abandoned name, and the "South Gondor" is more updated and suitable. Please don't use names from an old map.

You may ask me that will it be hard to change, for there are several incorrect names remaining the mod. No, the process of looking for those incorrect names would be different, but as a contributor of the Chinese translation of the mod, I devoted effort on each names in both Chinese and English (maybe Sindarin, Quenya, Rohirric, Khuzdul or Black Speech). As long as I found an error in the text, the correction would be easy: I use built-in searching to find it, and change it simply. Besides, I have found most of them. I promise that corrections would take less than five minutes from our Majesty.


 * Harondor -> South Gondor
 * Mountain Trolls -> Hill-trolls
 * Mirkwood Corrupted -> Mirkwood
 * Mirk-troll --> Olog-hai
 * Several mistakes in the speechbanks
 * In killOddmentCollector_start of Dorwinion mini-quest, the quest giver use "#" rather than "$" by mistake. "#" will refer to the player, and "$" will refer to the target. Therefore, the player would found that the quest giver want he to commit suicide.
 * Near Harad Fertile -> Fertile Near Harad. "Fertile" is an adjective, and our Majesty may want to refer "Fertile Crescent".
 * Breeland -> Bree-land, I'm grateful to find that our Majesty changed it Map Tests.
 * Shire -> The Shire

Someone would think that I'm being picky, and I'm sorry if I give that impression. I am not picky. There is a quotation from Confucius. "If the name is not correct, the words will not ring true. If the words will not ring true, the works will not be done." All details matter. Thank you all, and that's all I want to say.
