PALISOR REGIONS MOODBOARDS - [III] Nûrad
Nûrad was a somewhat rich, warm, hilly land located east of the northern tip of the Ered Harmal. Mordor and wide Khand Gap lay to the west. The Talathrant rose here. The Nennûrad was said to be the birthplace of the great river.
Given its wealth of freshwater and exceptionally strategic location, Nûrad was considered a prized territory. Its fierce, Nûradja-speaking residents were constantly threatened and often found themselves under the yoke of the brutal Variags (Who regarded them renegades) or their more numerous Chey neighbors.
The Nûriags were a people of horse-nomads inhabiting the Land of Nûrad.They were descendants of the Ioriags of the Second Age and close relatives to the Asdriags, Odhriags, Magriags and especially the Variags and Núrniags.Later in the fourth Age their descendants were absorbed by the greater Ûsrievrim confederation.
