The Emyn Gonngaran (S. 'Redstone Hills'), known to the Haruze as the Ausk Dubat, were a vast stretch of lull country lying between the southern Ephel Dúath and the great lowland valleys of the lower Harnen and Ode Pezar.The Emyn Gonngaran began as foothills of the Ephel Dúath on the borders of Ithilien, joining with the Emyn Imladrim, the southern edge of the highlands of Harondor, to form a distinct expanse of jumbled, scrub-covered hills split by jagged gorges and hundreds of small ravines choked by thorn-bushes. Some four hundred miles farther east, the Emyn Gonngaran faded into the less rugged desert country of the Bursk Merag. The Harnen and many of its tributaries bisected the midsection of the hills with the gorges of Kres Lugal. Two roads, the Irit Núrn and the Rak Chelkar ran alon

abstract	The Emyn Gonngaran (S. 'Redstone Hills'), known to the Haruze as the Ausk Dubat, were a vast stretch of lull country lying between the southern Ephel Dúath and the great lowland valleys of the lower Harnen and Ode Pezar.The Emyn Gonngaran began as foothills of the Ephel Dúath on the borders of Ithilien, joining with the Emyn Imladrim, the southern edge of the highlands of Harondor, to form a distinct expanse of jumbled, scrub-covered hills split by jagged gorges and hundreds of small ravines choked by thorn-bushes. Some four hundred miles farther east, the Emyn Gonngaran faded into the less rugged desert country of the Bursk Merag. The Harnen and many of its tributaries bisected the midsection of the hills with the gorges of Kres Lugal. Two roads, the Irit Núrn and the Rak Chelkar ran alongside these rivers to connect Oud Ilaz and Korb Amrûn, south of the Emyn Gonngaran, with passes leading to Núrn and Chelkar, north of the hills. During the years of Gondorian influence over Harad, the Harnen served as the eastern boundary for the province of Harondor. Gondor's access to the upper Harnen and the Rak Chelkar was provided by three roads running across the grain of the highlands of Harondor from west to east: the Rath Amrûn, connecting Amon Eithel and Tiras Amrûn across the Aegardh, jumping the gorges of the Malduin and Carnen and working down to Al Amrûn through the Emyn Imladrim; the Men Dubat, a lesser road that ran along the southern edge of the Emyn Gonngaran to Oud Ilaz; and the Men Dirnen, a military road running from Athrad Poros along the foothills of the Ephel Dúath, turning down the Ode Pesar to reach Oud Ilaz from the north. Neither the Gondorians nor the Haruze could ever build much in the Emyn Gonngaran. Sheep, cattle and goats could be grazed along the streams and in the valleys of the hill country. The Dúnedain were able to open a number of small mines and quarries in the region. Most of the inhabitants of the Emyn Gonngaran throughout the Second and Third Ages were simple Haruze shepherds and peasant farmers, occasionally troubled by Orcs and Trolls, but more wary of mortal men, specifically outsiders with foolish dreams of creating wealth and empire out of their rugged hills.
