- See Southron for other uses of the word.
Southrons are a fictitious nation of Men in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. They are also known as Haradrim, which is Sindarin for "South-folk".
The Haradrim were the people of Far and Near Harad, the great region south of the river Harondor, and enemies of the Dúnedain realm of Gondor. Tolkien describes them as swarthy of skin, and tells how they frequently fought Gondor during the Third Age for control of disputed border territories.
At the time of the War of the Ring, the Southrons were in league with Sauron and fought alongside his Orc army riding atop gigantic, elephant-like Oliphaunts. Once Sauron was destroyed, the Southrons submitted to the rule of King Elessar.
