Far Harad

"I have crossed many mountains and many rivers, and trodden many plains, even into the far countries of Rhûn and Harad where the stars are strange."

- Aragorn in The Fellowship of the Ring

Far Harad (Far South) is the collective name for the southernmost lands of Middle-Earth, beyond the deserts of Near Harad, where "the Stars are strange" as Aragorn said. This is a vast region of savannahs, jungles, forests, and mountains, far larger than the familiar North-western lands.

Far Harad is home to many exotic trees and plants. Acacia and baobab trees grow in the savannah, and mango trees can be found in the jungle biome. The rivers that run through Far Harad spawn banana trees on the shores. Many African animals spawn here, and thus Far Harad is a good place to hunt.

In Public Beta 21, Far Harad was revamped with several new climatic biomes. In future updates it will be populated with several factions of Haradrim. The first of these factions, the Moredain, were added in Public Beta 23. The second of these factions, the Tauredain, were added in Public Beta 25.

Structures
In the Far Harad (arid) savannahs, two structures spawn:
 * Moredain Village - Villages of the Moredain generating in the savannahs of Far Harad. They contain Moredain crafting tables, three to five Huts, a Trader Hut, and a Chieftain Hut.
 * Moredain Hunter Camp - Small camps in the other areas of Far Harad with smaller huts around a Moredain Crafting Table.

In the Far Harad jungles, two major structures spawn:
 * Tauredain Pyramid - An ancient building of long forgotten days, which contains a lot of treasures.
 * Tauredain Village - Villages of the Tauredain only in clearings. Those contain (if completele generated) the following buildings:
 * Houses - Thirteen houses with a bed, a chest, and a barrel of melon liqueur each.
 * Mansions - Two larger houses with a large chest, a bed, and food each.
 * Farms - Four plots of tilled land with a Tauredain Farmer in one of them.
 * Watchtowers - Four towers in the corners of the village.
 * Tree - One central gathering place around a tree.
 * Temple - One Temple with a chieftain, and two sets of armour.
 * Stilt house - One house supported by wood, the home of a shaman.

Mobs
Since Far Harad is the Middle-Earth version of Africa, Far Harad has a lot of African animals. Also, in the Far Harad Jungle spawn jungle scorpions, which inflict poison. Many of the mobs that spawn in Far Harad originally came from Mevans' discontinued mod, The Lion King Mod. Moredain also live in the plains.
