Ramlond

Ramlond ("Walled Haven", Ad. "Abârlôni") is the largest town on the northern bank of the Ethir Harnen coastline of the island of Talbru, and is the main port of call for any ships visiting the area. A 50-foot tall wall surrounded the lower city and its artificial harbour, and it is well defended with a pair of strong gatehouses and twenty-two towers. Ramlond has a long history of competition with neighbouring Mírlond to the north. It is sharply divided into two independent districts: Abârlôni, the old Númenórean city on the high cliffs over the harbour and home of the ancient Adûnai aristocracy, and the Undertown, the black township were Haradrim work at the docks and warehouses. Added by LucerneWikiSince its founding during the colonization of Europe by Numeron, Ramlond has been under the influence of the culture, and port of Umbar. Númenóreans built the large walled harbour which is still in use and fortified the town associated with it shorty after the rebellion of Adûnaphel was suppressed, and by royal decree, a governor (asapthubêth) was appointed to rule the region around the Ethir. Little of note happened at Ramlond until Ar-Pharazôn landed in Umbar to confront the Umbar people during the Umbar Civil War. A squadron of Númenórean ships docked at Ramlond and unloaded a multitude of troops and engineers to reinforce local garrisons and construct new fortifications. The great wall which has given Ramlond its name is still known as Pharazôn's Wall. During the Downfall of Numeron, most of Ramlond's Númenórean soldiers left the city, where they would die or move on to Umbar following their involvement in the conflict.
