The Coast Southron Warriors are the soldiers that fight for the Southrons, defending the peoples of the Southron Coasts. Once, they battled each other more than foreign powers, but now all the cities of the Coasts are united in their hatred of Gondor, and will march north to war on Lord Sauron's command. Though their aren't as well-equipped as their Umbarian counterparts, Coastling warriors are cunning and fierce, and pose a serious threat to any enemies of Near Harad.
These NPCs wear Coast Southron Armour, though they'll sometimes wear Harad Turbans instead of helmets. They wield a mix of iron Umbaric and bronze Haradric weapons. They also carry Shields of the Serpent, albeit for aesthetics only (they do not boost their combat abilities whatsoever). Occasionally, they can spawn mounted on horses.
Coast Southron Warriors have 20 HP and can be hired from Coast Southron Warlords, provided the player has at least +150 Near Harad alignment and 30 silver coins.
Spawning[]
Coastling Warriors spawn naturally in the Southron Coasts, along with their mounted variant, as well as in Coast Southron invasions. They are particularly common in Coast Southron Fortifications, a type of settlement. They can also occasionally be found in Harondor, the contested land between Near Harad and Gondor, where they support their Harnedhrim counterparts in their to reclaim their lost homeland.
Behaviour[]
These warriors spend most of the time patrolling the Southron Coasts, keeping an eye out for interlopers. Upon spotting enemy players or NPCs, they will immediately attack with whatever weapons they are carrying.
Drops[]
They drop coal, bones, a variety of food and drink (mainly dates and Araq), sticks, and rarely Haradric armour and weapons.

Friendly
- You don't look like you are from around here.
- I used to join the trading ships from Ajtiaz an-Ahâr to visit the Eye of Harad.
- Are you an escaped slave, or just a lost traveller?
- Welcome, traveller. What brings you to these lands?
- Are you a friend of the Haradrim, or do you come seeking strife?
- It is rare indeed that we see Men of the North walk freely.
- How did you enter our lands, Person, and why?
- No slave to the corruption of Gondor is welcome in our lands. Let us hope you do not serve Gondor, Person!
- Shall you aid us in the war against Gondor, Person?
- I hope you are no friend of the Aphûr-lâi, Person. Well, if you were, you would be mere sun-scorched bones by now...

- The Corsairs would be nothing without us backing them up.
- We do not serve the Great Eye out of fear. We serve him because we have one aim. The ruin of Gondor!
- The Corsairs of Umbar have their mind set on victory. I can say that I share their thoughts.
- It is a simple matter of mistreatment that fuels our devotion to our cause.
- Sauron has promised us the lands of Gondor burning. That is enough for me.
- I hope to become a warlord myself someday, Person.
- My family has always had an active role in the cause, Person.
- I follow the footsteps of my forefathers, and shall see their quest to an end.
- Perhaps you and I will someday bring back a skull to add to the tower in Ninzâyan.
- By the time this war is done, I fear, Lîpha-tûn will not be the only settlement built upon an old battlefield.
- I am glad that our friends in the East are joining our cause.
Hostile

- Curse you, filth-friend of Gondor!
- Return to the foul lands whence you came!
