Minas Harad

Minas Harad lay deep within a canyon of the Harad Desert.It had originally been built to keep an eye upon the Harad Road, the ancient tribute route built by Hyarmendacil to connect the South Kingdom with the subordinate provinces of Haradwaith and had long after been held by the Minhare, a mixed people fiercely loyal to the Stewards of Gondor.
