Could someone please replace the non-canonical map with a river flowing from the south-east of harad flowing Ingo the by of Umbar with the canonical General Map of Middle-earth from LOTR that shows Umbar, Near Harad and Far Harad? There is no reference that the Haradrim came into contact with Sauron during the second Age. As far as I recall it is only mentioned that Sauron had troops from the South during the War of the last alliance of elves and men. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] 07:58, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

There is a lot of overlap with the article about the Haradrim. Maybe the article should be restricted to the geography and climate and the history should be restricted to the Druedain wandering through, Harad probably being discovered by Aldarion and some people living at or Near the by of Umbar so that the Numenoreans could pick up the name "Umbar" from them. Most of the history should be in the articles about the Haradrim, Umbar, the Black Numenoreans, Gondor or some of the gondorian Kings and stewards. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] 08:19, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

It looks good to me without the border/caption. No objections here, though I don't mind it with the caption/border either. --Hyarion 13:54, 11 May 2006 (EDT)

Narfil, I added the frame so we could have a description indicating the icon was Howe's work, not Tolkien's. I agree that the image looks better frameless, but I also think we need to describe where the image came from. Anyone else have an opinion? --Ebakunin 13:58, 11 May 2006 (EDT)
