In Middle-earth Role Playing, Khâradûnê or Hyarnustar or just Hyarn, was a coastal region on the southwestern coast of Middle-earth between the Belegaer and the western flank of the Ered Laranor south of Tulwang and north of the Elorna. Its northern border was formed by the river Aronduin (S. "Woods-river"). Rich river vales were located along the northern boundary, but most of the inland region was semi-arid scrubland or grassland.

While it was originally founded by the Adena, it was later colonized by Númenóreans. Wealthy mixed-blood descendants of the Númenórean settlers lived near the coast and in the river vales along the northern boundary, while relatively pure-blooded Adena lived throughout the inland. Many Adena deal with the numerous timber products of the region.

History

Ciryamir, father of Akhôrahil, landed in Khâradûne in S.A. 1904 after being given a license to create a colony. He sailed up the Aronduin and founded Ciryatanor in the east.

The Army of the Southern Dragon began marching against Khâradûne and Ciryatanor in T.A. 1660, though the army was beaten back to Tulwang in T.A. 1675. The Sun Lord of Far Harad was defeated by Khâradûne's forces in T.A. 2643 after a failed attack on the land.
