Harnendor

Harnendor (S."Southwater Lands") was the name given by the Númenóreans to the lands drained by the Harnen and its tributaries. After Adûnaphel's rebellion in S. A. 22S0, the kings claimed this territory for their own.The overall politics of the territory were overseen by the Governor of Umbar; however, three local governors were based at Ramlond, Gobel Ancalimon and Korb Taskral. After the fall of Númenor, most of Harnendor was abandoned by the surviving Númenóreans, though Ramlond and Gobel Ancalimon were not.Harnendor, as the Númenóreans defined the territory, included the former Haruzani kingdom of Korb Taskral (Al Amrûn), Adûnaphel's realm (though it was independent of Númenórean control), various towns and territories ruled by Umbar and administered by the local governors, and several minor, independent domains to the north and south of the Harnen. King Tarannon Falastur, upon his grant of provincial status to Harondor, revived "Harnedor"as the political designation for the province's southern district.
