The Gulfings are the inhabitants of the Gulf of Harad. They are somewhat distinct from the other peoples of Near Harad, with many unique traditions that the other Southrons long ago abandoned. They are fiercely devoted to Mulkhêr, the Lord of Darkness, who they worship and sacrifice their old and sick to. The Gulfings believe themselves to be Mulkhêr's chosen people, as they reside in the blessed lands of Khopazûl. Like the Coastlings, the Gulfings have many great cities across the Gulf of Harad, the greatest of them being Khôpakadar and Yaphurushi. Though they have been distant from the other Southrons in the past, they shall march as one with the other Haradrim to join the war that brews in the North, bringing their great Mûmakil to the battlefield in support of Sauron the Great.
Spawning[]
These NPC's can be found in the Gulf of Harad, and will only spawn aboveground. However, they may be found at any time of day or night. They will also spawn in Gulfing towns and villages in great numbers.
Behaviour[]
Gulfings will spend their time wandering around, chatting with neutral or friendly players. They are usually passive, and will not attack enemy players unless attacked themselves If they are attacked, they will defend themselves using Haradric daggers. Because of their lack of armour and weak attack, they rely on their armoured kin to protect them.
