Harondor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth, Harondor (S. 'har(n)'=south, '(g)on'=stone, '(n)dor'=land) or South Gondor was the name given to the region between the rivers Poros and Harnen to the south of Gondor proper.
It was integrated into the kingdom of Gondor early in the Third Age and was finally subdued by Tarannon Falastur. It remained part of Gondor until the civil war of the Kin-strife, where it joined the rebel side. After the war it was disputed between the kings of Gondor and the corsairs of Umbar. A number of unnamed battles were fought in South Gondor such as the one that killed King Aldamir and also the great victory which gave Hyarmendacil II his name. At the time of the War of the Ring it is described as a "debatable and desert land".
It was incorporated into the Reunited Kingdom by King Elessar (Aragorn) sometime in the early Fourth Age.
