As the title suggests this is a heavy work in progress and I will work on it in google drive before formatting it

the basic idea is that harad was once entirely grass lands before the creation of numenor which raised the ocean and the mountains that lead to the desertification of north harad. As well as the rise to power of the current Southrons after over throwing the Numenorean leaders with the help of Sauron and possibly one or 2 of the nazgul. It will have been written by a scribe with his commentary on the events

I am not a lore master by any stretch so I may need help with the finer points of tolkien based language and to make sure that time remains relative to other events

Here is what I have so far:

Book 1: The Book of Waves



Ch. 1 the Tribes

From the fertile earth grew the grasses, and far and wide did the great grass grow, over hill and under shade,  as rain sustained the grass the grass*(grass could mean the earth itself or possibly an ancient deity) sustained the tribes. In the beginning there were many tribes and their influence and their gods ebbed and flowed like the tide, the Badawedain  in the north and the Moredain in the east, the Tauredain in the south and the Hayaedain (not quite half-trolls these men were savages before saurons influence) in the mountains, with the Siyadedain  and Eatiqrim in the west  (the keepers of the coast, the great Eatiq library was lost to time) but as the seasons went so grew turmoil in the far north, a mighty people, fair and pure had won a mighty war andwere granted new land to settle by the demons they worshipped.

Ch. 2 Water and Brimstone

It was with a mighty hand that the demons raised land from the sea. and as such a great mountain, borne of dark magic crested the waves sending corrupted energy across the sea floor. a great surge of water was forced by unholy hand upon the coast while a mighty range of rock burst from hell with the force of a thousand Mumakil, with this one blow the weather was torn, the west enjoyed a great fertile land wrought with rain  while in the east only arid gales blew. this was the end of the grassy expanse and those who depended on it...
