''). After the Downfall Of Númenor , the Umbar settlers further descended into evil, and were called the Black Númenóreans. They took to pillaging and piracy along the coasts of Gondor . During the Kinstrife , the defeated rebels of Gondor fled to Umbar — by this time Umbar became the hated enemy of Gondor. The Castamiri took with them a large part of Gondor's fleet, thus weakening Gondor and strengthening the naval traditions of Umbar. Gondor later conquered Umbar, but had lost it again soon after. The term "Corsair" originally referred to the Privateers hired by the Confederate City State of Umbar to raid Gondor's coasts, but later was applied by the men of the north to Umbar in general. 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. During the Battle Of The Pelennor Fields , a combined fleet amounting to "fifty Great Ship s Umbar and smaller vessels beyond count" was raiding the Port City of Pelargir in Lebennin , but these were captured by Aragorn and the Army Of The Dead , and were sailed to Minas Tirith to relieve the siege of the city. |
