And I would also like to think a few of the Farther Eastern kingdoms could have been Shadow Free. If they were, it might even be fun to imagine that rumors of these kingdoms were whispered in the west, and there was a belief that, should another menace on the level of Sauron arise, and it be neccecary in the absence of elves and wizards, armies of this shadow free east would ride out and lend their support to this evil force's conquest (sort of a ME version of the legend of Prester John.)
An eastern kingdom eh? Hmmm interesting.yeah maybe there are kingdoms in the east but probably more like the haradrim(minus the mumakil),a tribal kigdom fighting each other.the technology there would maybe be quite advanced,seeing that they had chariots,which the west NEVER used/invented.
