Harad Nomads are nomadic inhabitants of the Great Desert. They spawn in the desert regions of Near Harad, especially the Half-deserts, where their outposts and encampments can be found. These reclusive people are distrusted by their Southron neighbors and forgotten by most other folk, as they still follow the nomadic ways of the first Men to settle in Near Harad. They have kept the ancient traditions alive for millennia, and have prospered greatly off trade with the other Southron realms.
Spawning[]
These NPC's can be found in the Half-deserts, and more rarely in the Great Desert itself, and will only spawn aboveground. However, they may be found at any time of day or night. They will also spawn in Nomad outposts and encampments in great numbers.
Behaviour[]
Nomads 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.
These Men are immune to the heat of the Great Desert, and will not take damage in the open sun, even the ones that aren't wearing Harad Turbans.
Drops[]
These NPC's will often drop bones. They can also drop coins, and the typical civilian drops (wheat, bread, arak, drink vessels) from time to time.
