Near Harad (Region)



Near Harad is the large barren desert land to the south, located south of most of the biomes and kingdoms of Middle-Earth. It is very similar to a Vanilla desert, except in it spawns a few rare structures such as the Harad Obelisk, Near Harad Fortresses, Near Harad desert camps and Near Harad villages, Desert scorpions will spawn here often during the cool hours of the night also {camels spawn in the day time} please correct this if its wrong. The desert is very large and has many different variants such as Near Harad Fertile which is a land near a large river that contains Bright Green Grass, Red Sand, Normal Sand, Dirt and occasionally stone. Other Variations include Near-Harad boulder fields which has many boulders and Near-Harad Dunes where the terrain starts to have a lot of hills. Upon entering Near Harad you get the achievement "The Great Desert". Due to the intense heat of this desert region, the player will periodically take damage. The best way to avoid this is to get out from underneath the burning sun.
