In lore there were no tribes/peoples/nations in or near Near Harad who openly opposed the claims of Sauron afaik. Possibly there will be some neutral/good folk east of Khand, but that would be speculative, both from a lore and a mod pov. You are basically right here, Alte. The only two tribes we have heard of are the Troll-Men and the Moredain (and even then their entire culture is speculative). It is possible that there were "good" men in Far Harad, even likely due to how Sauron demanded everyone to convert to worshiping him and Morgoth, but there is no proof. The Cerinrim and Tauredain aren't actually even "good", they just don't like the "bad" factions, which is different.

It is known that Aragorn, and maybe Mithrandir, travelled into Far Harad, and also that Curunir and the Ithryn Luin were great travellers as well, but to merge those two halfs together is mere guesswork. There will be a tribe of Free Easterlings, as many of you know, but I find it unlikely that there will be any Free Haradrim.
