Harad

What goes wrong, Sauron's departing spirit blows up the entire hall and then freezes everything, including the surrounding countryside.

Adar and the orcs pick themselves up again and realize that they will have to make their way in small secret groups down to the region of the Southrons.

So do you think Adar really believed the speech at first until Sauron began to tell the orcs what he really thought of them?

I always got the impression that Adar was suspicious of Sauron from the beginning, but that his suspicions solidified with everything that Sauron said.

On Friday, Aragorn ships come up the Anduin to the Harland, the quay below Minas Tirith.

Har, south as in Harad, the south haven.

Now, on Saturday, Feanor takes the swan ships from Alqualondë.

Alqua, a swan, and londë, the haven of the swans, which is exactly what the text calls it in English a few lines later.

And he turns it into basically this bulwark of Gondor in the south.

And it's a base for operations to operate throughout Harad, near Harad.

Now, his son, Srandil, would continue the naval campaigns, but he would actually be slain in a campaign in Harad while defending Ambar, because the Haradrim, probably with Black Numenoreans' support, attacked them.

Now...

And if I'm not mistaken, normal people have really nothing in, like, a straight-up fight with a summon of Numenorean blood.

But Seraendil, after his death, his son Seraher would take on the role as king.

And he would have the title, I apologize if I'm saying this right, Heramendasil, the southern victor.

And he would crush multiple confederacies amongst the Haradrim.

Gondor was a shadow of its former self.

They had allies in Rohan, but enemies now to the south in Harad and Umbar.

The magical technology that built their strongest structures was now long-forgotten lore.

Well, the first thing Denethor seems to have done is gather ever more information about what was going on.
