'Shagâna, the Fair Land. Yes, it was fair, once. Tales from long ago speak of a green and fertile land, threaded with mighty rivers. The men who came to that place worked the land, their crops thriving, and they harvested valuable spices and rare wood from the forests, and gold and jewels from beneath the hills. But that was long ago. The wealth of Shagâna was like a camp-fire set upon a hill, and covetous men saw it from far away, and hungered for the spices, and the rare woods, and the gold and the jewels. These men came from even further south, in Jarmât, which my student Caebar might call \qFar Harad,\q but they came too from Khand in the east.

'They came from other directions, as well: from the west and from the north. They came from Númenor, and later from Gondor. The Shagâni number these among their cruelest oppressors.'
