I can not cite it right now as I am seperated from my Two Towers book as of now. What I was saying for ages and also, near harad weren't made up of empires, only tribes and small kingsoms hmm very true indeed they never really had an empire but i would like to comment on the High Prince Imrahils statement saying"how hard is it for and empire to gain iron" and really it shouldve been" how hard is it for a kingdom of even 1-2 citys to get iron" i mean they werent in the freakin stone age the City states or small kingdoms as you may call it in the ferile region had alot of free time to mine some iron. Also during the semi early days of numenor the numenorians taught much to the ppl of south Middle earth aka Harad also later on the black numenorians would have taught them some crafts of numenor or if not atleats taught them how to mine iron and use it. Also they were fairly andvanced mariners who knew how to use umbars ships and other crafts of umar. Also wouldnt sauron make sure they knew how to get and use iron? And for ships you need wood and Iron (or some other metals for nails etc) so I don't think they have no iron.
