Gen. Grievous1138 (LOTR Mod Wiki Admin) comlink 21:08, May 10, 2017 (UTC) I don't distrust you, but can someone clear up what Gondor did to the Easterlings? Did they drive them out of their land like Rohan did to the Dunlendings or something? I'm not good with Gondor's history :( It's Griev's anti-Gondor bias coming up again. Gondor responded to threats from the Easterlings and Haradrim (led by Black Numenoreans) and conquered their lands to stop constant border raiding. They ruled the populace, yes, but it wasn't cruel and there was no enslavement, at least that we know of. The Easterling and Haradrim wars were retalitory strikes and measures to stop the Haradrim and Easterling agression.
