The History of the Haradrim | Tolkien Explained

A great southern kingdom, tamers of the mighty Mûmakil, and a land caught between the opposing forces of Númenor and Sauron. The Haradrim were divided between those who served the dark lord and those who opposed him. Likely aided by the Blue Wizards, they would not only be enslaved by Sauron, but also the Númenóreans as their kingdom turns to darkness. In the Third Age, Gandalf would visit the southern realm, and many Haradrim would aid Sauron in the War of the Ring.
