Harondor

Harondor, otherwise known as South Gondor, is a heavily contested semi-desert area located in the south of Ithilien, and north of Near Harad. Cacti and Rangers of Ithilien spawn here, as do Near Haradrim warriors.

Harondor's environment consists of sand and patches of dirt. There are a few trees here, all thinner than normal. Players should be wary of entering this biome, as both good and evil aligned players will see battle here. Because of its border with the sea, it is possible to bypass this area by use of a boat or barrel.

Upon entering Harondor you gain the achievement: "Southward Bound."

Variants

 * Harondor Scrubland - Here there is a more frequent generation of dirt patches and trees than in the main biome. There is also some shorter trees, seemingly more like bushes.
 * Forest - An area of Harondor with clusters of Oak and Cedar trees.

Structures
The men of Harad have set up temporary camps in Harondor. At this time, the Rangers of Ithilien have built nothing here.


 * Near Harad Desert Camps - Small camps made by and for the Haradrim. These camps contain two fenced camels, Near Haradrim, a small well, and some Near Harad tents, which contain a bed, two chests, two craftng tables (one Near Harad, one normal,) and a barrel of Araq.


 * Harad Obelisks - Tall sandstone structures with fire at the top.

Mobs
Harondor is a biome highly contested between the Rangers of Ithilien and the Near Haradrim Warriors.


 * Rangers of Ithilien- Men of Gondor similar to Rangers of the North, except that their capes are emblazoned with the White Tree of Gondor, and the Gondorian Swords that they wield in close combat.


 * Near Haradrim Warriors (can be mounted)- Warriors of the men that live in the desert of Near Harad.


 * Near Haradrim Archers- Near Haradrim Warriors armed with bows.

Mining
Beneath Harondor all the normal ores can be found, but lapis lazuli is exclusive to this biome and Near Harad.

Vegetation
Harondor is a biome considered semi-desert. Cacti grow here rarely, and trees can grow in dirt patches, which are more common in the Harondor Scrubland sub-biome.
