| | Umbar |
 | | Umbar was importent to Gondor both because it was there Ar-Pharazon, the last King of Númenor had landed and humbled the might of Sauron as remembered with pride in Gondor but also because of the hold upon the evil in Haradwaith it gave. | | | Umbar had always been of interest to Gondor but it was not before King Tarannon (T.A.830-913) the strength of Gondor had reached the heights that was needed for the task. | | | Ciryahir his son, King of Gondor (T.A.1015-1149) finally defeated the Haradwaith in 1050 and through the rest of his reign and his successors, until the Kinstrife broke out in the reign of King Valacar (T.A.1366-1442), Umbar was a provins of Gondor. |

| | This text examines the history of Umbar in relation to Gondor and attempts to explore the reasons for the long struggle. | | | Now, after the fall of Númenor, the Black Númenóreans that remained in Umbar became corrupted by Sauron and they hated the Elendili and their realms in the north, namely Gondor. | | | The second and greatest of the evils, the great plague from the east, soon befell Gondor, and it was Corsair raiders that salted Gondor's wounds by slaying Minardil at Pelargir. |

| | Umbar was an old Númenórean haven settled by the King's Men — a proud faction loyal to the King and opposed to the divine authority of the Valar. | | | After the Downfall of Númenor, the Umbar settlers further descended into evil, and were called the Black Númenoreans. | | | By the time of the War of the Ring, the Corsairs had mixed with the Haradrim, becoming a mixed people where Númenórean blood was mostly gone. |
