Revision as of 00:32, 30 March 2019
most buildings are still missing |
Note: In Harnedor there are also found mercenary camps and desert camps. Both are small camps and described on extra pages (please follow the links).
Harnedor settlements are decent sized villages and fortifications in Harnedor in the south or ruined villages in Harondor in the north. They consist of wooden houses in various sizes (or ruins of those), or fortresses and tents.
Near Harad players will definitely want to visit those camps, as there's lots of loot to be found in them, and they offer plenty of questing opportunities.
Types of settlements
Fortifications
Fortifications are round structures with a fortress in the center. The fortress is surrounded by six tents and guarded by four watchtowers. The whole settlement is protected by a stockade.
Village
Villages are round settlements, often with a stockade around them, which has an opening, where a short dirt path is leading to the center of the village. A signpost there shows name and founding date of the village. In the center sits either a tavern or a bazaar surrounded by a dirt path. In an inner circle around the central building, a lot of houses, stables and smithies are positioned. Farms, pastures and hay bales form the outer circle.
Ruined Village
Ruined villages can only be found in Harondor. They are the ruined version of the villages of Harnedor. There are no ruined fortifications. The ruins are also round in shape. The stockade is still there, but worn down by fire, wind, and rain, with a lot of gaps in it. Also the dirt paths are still there. In the center is always a burnt down tavern, sourrounded by a circle of ruined houses. The farms, pastures and hay bales are long gone. There are no inhabitants, loot chests, furniture, or whatsoever left here. Only some Rangers of Ithilien, guarding the region can be found.
Finding settlements
As with all the Mod's settlements, Harnedor settlements need some flat land to spawn. That means that the first rule of thumb when searching for settlements is to look for an area of flat land. Then, keep on looking, as settlements don't spawn very frequently. Note, that they do no longer spawn in scrubland (since Update 34.3). They're well worth finding, however, owing to their plentiful loot and questing opportunities.
Structures
The following structures can be found in Harnedor settlements:
- Bazaar
- Farm
- Fortress
- Hay Bales
- House (also ruined version)
- Pasture
- Smithy
- Stables
- Stockade (also ruined version)
- Tavern (also ruined version)
- Tent
- Village Signpost
- Watchtower
Harnedor Bazaar
If you are visiting a village for the opportunity to trade goods, the bazaar is the right place to go. Harnedor bazaars spawn not in every village, but if so, they are found in the very center. They are round wooden buildings with a woolen roof, and reed bars in the windows. They have an entrance to each of the four directions. Between those, on the outside, there are a pile of hay bales, four empty reed baskets, ores, and some empty bird cages.
The inside is decorated with banners of Near Harad and a rugged red carpet. In each quarter, a random market stall is located, in which different traders sell their goods and are willing to buy some of your stuff. Each stall has its own empty reed basket in the corner and its decoration hints, what the trader's profession might be. Besides of the stalls, you'll find melons, hay bales, suspended cages with birds in them, butterfly jars, armour stands, and wall-mounted weapons.
Note: There is no ruined version of a bazaar.
Harnedor Tavern
Taverns and inns are probably the most important buildings for wanderers on Middle-earth. Here, the weary find food and rest from their long travels throughout lonely and unknown countries.
There's either a bazaar or a tavern in the center of each village, so only every second village has one. Fortifications have no taverns included. Taverns are considerably bigger than ordinary houses, and oval in shape. They are also wooden buildings with a woolen roof, and reed bars in the windows. They have no doors, just 2 big archways on each of the two long sides of the oval. Signs at the entrances tell the name of the tavern to the weary wanderer.
The inside of the tavern has a wooden flooring, strawn with thatch and covered by a rugged red carpet. A lot of benches and tables with drinks, food and flowerpots populate the place, which is decorated with banners of the Gulf of Harad.
To one short side, the counter area offeres a furnace with Kebab, a cauldron, two barrels with alcoholic drinks, a vanilla crafting table and a Haradric crafting table, and some drinks and food on the tables. Here works the bartender, who might be willing to trade with you, if you've got at least neutral Near Harad alignment and enough coins to spend.
The other short side of the tavern seems to offer accomodation for the night. Only casually fenced off from the main room by reed bars, two small guest rooms feature a single straw bed, a reed basket, and a small table each. As the doors are lacking, the rooms do not offer the privacy, staying guests may be used to.
Ruined Harnedor Tavern
Not much of the former splendour is left, when you look at the ruins of those beautiful buildings. These shameful whitnesses of former wars, can only be found in Harondor, where they form the center of ruined villages. They are made out of cedar or charred wood. The complete wool roof is missing, all the furniture gone. Grass and flowers grow inside. No merry song is heared any longer here and no bartender serves good drinks and food any longer. Only a few forlorn Rangers of Ithilien can be spotted here from time to time.
Harnedor Watchtower
The Harnedor watchtower can be found in the regions of Harondor and Harnedor in northern Near Harad. They spawn as part of fortifications, as well as seperately.
They are wooden towers with a wool roof, tattered wool sides and a rope leading to the top. Mounted on poles, you'll find a lot of skulls, probably from slain enemies. The towers were built by the Harnedhrim to maintain their control over the land. Each usually contains four warriors.
On the top, hidden under a fence post, a reed basket can be found, containg some weapons.
Harnedor Fortress
Only fortifications have got a fortress in the center. It is a decent sized, square, fenced-off area, made of cedar wood, and wool. The front is decorated with banners of Near Harad and skulls. The only entrance, a Haradric gate, is heavily guarded by Harnedor warriors and archers.
Inside, a lot of Harnedor armour can be found on armour stands and Haradric weapons mounted on the walls or in the reed baskets. The whole courtyard is illuminated by torches on the walls. In the front, two horses are tethered to fence posts and fed with some hay bales.
In the corners of the courtyard, two barracks provide two straw beds and a reed basket each. A third room between the two seems to be the captain's quarter and holds a single straw bed, a table and a reed basket. Near the barracks, also an anvil, a cauldron, a vanilla crafting table and a Haradric crafting table can be found. Some haybales mounted on fence post serve as practice dummies for warriors and archers.
To the right and left of the gate, two stairs are leading up onto the walls. Attached to the parapet, across from the entrance, there is a small balcony directly over the captain's quarter. There, a banner of Near Harad is hanging from a bone spike. Below it, the warlord has the best overview over the whole fortress. If you've got enough alignment with the Near Harad faction and the necessary money, you may hire Harnedor troops from the warlord.
