Southron Settlement

Southron settlements are built throughout Near Harad. Besides some, that can also be found here, there are currently five sub-factions of and their bigger settlements in the game: Those three are described on separate pages. Please follow the links above. The two next are so similar to each other, that they are described on one shared page in the following:
 * Nomad settlements in the half-desert.
 * Harnedor settlements in Harnedor.
 * Gulfing settlements in the Gulf of Harad.
 * Umbar settlements in Umbar.
 * Coast Southron settlements in the Southron Coasts.

Both are very large structures respectively in Umbar or the Southron Coasts. They can occasionally be found throughout the biome, and generate in a similar fashion to vanilla villages, with varying structures. Small, rural villages are the most common, with fortifications being rarer, and towns being the largest and rarest.

Near Harad players will definitely want to visit those settlements, as there's lots of loot to be found in them, and they offer plenty of questing opportunities. Most settlements have a name, and a date that they were founded, which was sometime in the Third Age.

Finding settlements
As with all the Mod's settlements, those settlements need a large amount of flat land to spawn. That means that the first rule of thumb when searching for settlements is to look for an area of flat land. Then, keep on looking, as settlements don't spawn very frequently. Note, that they do no longer spawn in scrubland (since ). They're well worth finding, however, owing to their plentiful loot and questing opportunities.

Structures
The following structures can be found in those settlements:
