G’day and welcome to the Realms in Exile mod for Crusader Kings III, Paradox’s great grand strategy game. I am part of an incredible team that has heeded the call for adventure into Middle-earth! Together we are brining the immersive world of Middle-earth to CK3, full of the diverse characters in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

Realms 2.2 is a major release, the mapping scope has more than doubled the size of Middle-earth between releases. For that achievement into Far Harad, it is the work of the Realms development team. We were delighted to be awarded Top 5 New Mods of 2020-2021 and be placed in the Top 100 Mods of 2021 and are very grateful to the Realms community. Crusader Kings 3 is very deserving of recognition for its modding communities.

Gondor features in the third book of The Lord of the Rings. It is ruled by the stewards of Minas Tirith, as their king was lost in a duel with the Witch King of Minas Morgul. Arnor is the lost realm of the north, Aragorn is chieftain of its few survivors. Umbar was once a city of the Númenóreans at the height of their power in Middle-earth, now it is a mighty haven of corsairs. Bellakar and Thôn an-Khârlôkh are former colonies, far to the south, and the books do not mention their names.
With the announcement of Royal Court and its sweeping changes to the culture systems in Crusader Kings III, and with our gargantuan exploration of the Far Haradwaith, this update has taken its sweet time under the southern sun to be released. Yet, with release there is now a great many lands, vast and bountiful for you to explore.
There is precious little known about Far Harad and its people, the region's name refers to it being the furthest lands of the south, very distant to the wars fought by the Free Peoples against the Dark Lord Sauron in the Third Age, and almost unknown to the writers and editors of The Red Book of Westmarch. What is known comes through stories of war, many of the Haradrim were subjugated by Sauron and forced to join his war against Gondor. In Harad we know there were many ethnicities and cultures, rich coastal cities, remnant kingdoms of the Númenóreans and great Haradrim empires.
We plan to release Realms 2.2 before the release of the Royal Court Expansion DLC, and after, release Realms 2.3 to provide compatibility with the newly released DLC.
Map Expansion
Reworked the titles of Rohan and Near Harad. Edited the baronies of Osgiliath and Umbar.
Greatly expanded the region of Haradwaith and added Far Haradwaith. Almost doubling the number of complete empires with five additions. Nineteen new kingdoms.
Added the realms of Abrakhân, Rây, Bellakar, Tedjin and the Stormhost.
Activities
Set sail on the open seas in search of adventure and plunder. Master the waves with the new Mariner lifestyle trait and become famous (or infamous) for your prowess at Sea.

Tributaries
Tributary, client state and protectorate system adapted from The Four Nations CK3 Mod.
Events
Tedjin Civil War: the old Kataj is dying, barely able to avoid factions in his realm from tearing each other apart. With foreign powers intervening in the unrest, a civil war seems inevitable that is sure to determine the balance of power in the region.
Additional flavour events adapted from VIET with permission.
Realms 2.3 is Royal Court
Our plan for Realms 2.3 is to develop a patch solely to ensure compatibility with the new Crusader Kings III Royal Court Expansion DLC. You will not need the DLC to play Realms in Exile.
Realms 3.0 Elves of Middle-earth
In Realms 3.0 turn your eyes to the War in the North. Seated at Dol Guldur, the Nazgûl Khâmul of Rhûn wages war against the Elves of Lothlórien and the Woodland Realm, Northrons and Beornings. In the Battle-Under-the-Trees the march of the elves to protect the Free Peoples against the horrors in Mirkwood may be their final destiny.
For a guide on all of the new features included in LotR: Realms in Exile 2.2 please consult our game manual.
LotR: Realms in Exile has been given permission to add The Silmarillion part 1 and The Silmarillion part 2 Legends of Númenor complete soundtracks by composer Stan Lockfield.

Hello, how can I dowload the mod? there are no files? was it deleted? thank you in advance for the answer.
You have to download it off of the Steamworkshop or the Paradox pages. I have no clue why they took them down here, yet kept the page.
