Nicogue

Nicogue is a fictional place that appears in the works of author J.R.R. Tolkien. It is described as a city situated in the region of Harad. Harad itself is a vast, hot, and largely desert land to the south of Gondor. Nicogue is not a prominent location in Tolkien's legendarium, and details about it are scarce.

Within the context of Tolkien's writings, references to Harad and its inhabitants suggest a diverse and often adversarial relationship with the peoples of the North. While Nicogue is mentioned, its specific role, culture, or significance within Harad remains largely undeveloped. It is likely intended to contribute to the overall sense of a sprawling and ancient world with many unexplored regions and cultures beyond the familiar lands of Middle-earth. The name itself, Nicogue, does not carry any readily apparent etymological meaning within the established linguistic frameworks of Tolkien's languages. Its inclusion serves to flesh out the geography of the southern lands, hinting at a wider world than is explicitly detailed.
