Yup. It's lying at the bottom of the Mirrormere.

And I think it was Merry that wrote "Herblore".

theres a continent off the south coast of Harad? cant wait for that expansion...lol

It's not mentioned in The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit. Turbine does not have the rights to make any content based on anything else.

So... no expansion. LOL.

There most certainly is, but as TheScyphozoa pointed out, they don't have the rights to it, so no expansion :(

I have never heard of anything being to the south of Harad. Which work is this from? I think we deserve a hint :)

I'm going to take a stab at the question, from what I could find. On early Arda maps there was a continent to the South-east of Middle Earth called the Dark Lands...maybe that's the answer?

Answer:

Queston:
Who was the King of Gondor when she was besieged both North and South by the combined might of the Haradrim and a race of men who fought in battle riding chariots and wagons?

What tactic did he use, and what was the outcome?

What was the ultimate purpose behind the attacks, and how did this effect the War of the Ring?

---

The King was Ondoher, and he was killed in battle with both his sons, Artamir and Faramir.

---

---

Earnil, Captain of the Southern Army, set fire to the camps of the Wainriders while they were feasting their victory. The Wainriders fled before him and many perished in the Dead Marshes.

---

---

It weakened Gondor, allowed the Ringwraiths to enter Mordor unnoticed, and estranged Gondor from Arnor, since once Ondoher was dead Arvedui tried to claim the throne of Gondor.

I'm not sure if that's all you were looking for, so I'll wait til you reply to post another question!

So . . . I hopefully got the last one right, so I'll resurrect this thread by posing another question.

The Hobbits were called holbytla by the Rohirrim. What is the literal meaning of this word in the Common Speech?
