	Umbar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These new Corsairs were cruel slavers who often raided the coasts of Belfalas and Anfalas in Gondor: in T.A 2746 for example, Amrothos, the 15th Prince of Dol Amroth fell defending Dol-en-Ernil against them.
		Umbar's fleet was largely destroyed 29 years later, when Thorongil (Aragorn Elessar, as it later turned out) in the service of the Steward of Gondor Ecthelion II led a taskforce south and burned them, killing the Captain of the Haven in the process.
		Umbar appeared on the bottom edge of the maps found in earlier editions of Lord of the Rings, but it is absent from modern editions, which regrettably map a slightly smaller area of Middle-earth.

	Bambooweb: Umbar
		Umbar had been built by the Númenóreans in the year 3220 of the Second Age, and like the havens of Pelargir and Lond Daer later grew into a fortress from which Númenórean influence spread over Middle-earth.
		During the early Third Age Umbar was an important enemy of Gondor, and the province of Harondor or South Gondor was contested between the realms.
		Umbar was destroyed once again in 2980, when the great warrior Thorongil (Aragorn Elessar, as it later turned out) in the service of the Steward of Gondor Ecthelion II led a taskforce south and killed the Captain of the Haven.

		The Corsair Reis (the reis was captain or commander of a Corsair vessel), on the other hand, were privateers; they made war only on enemies of their prince or their god.
		Like the pirate's ship, the Corsair vessel usually was a private venture rather than a public charge, but the Corsair carried a commission that legitimized their activities, and they disposed of their prizes in a manner regulated by their prince.
		Corsair - This term was used for Christian and Muslim privateers in the Mediterranean between the 16th and 19th centuries.

		Umbar originated as a Numenorean port city, though after the downfall of Numenor the mixing of bloodlines with 'lesser' men diminished the Black Numenoreans.
		Umbar was captured by Gondor in 933 TA and held for almost 500 years until the kin-strife of Gondor in 1432.
		Umbar is ruled by an oligarchy of six lords, known as 'Tower Lords', 'Lords of Umbar', or 'Captains of the Havens.' In the absence of any others, any one Tower Lord (TL) is in complete charge of the city excluding major long-term decisions and dominion of the other TL's.

		It was at Umbar that the last king of Númenor, Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, landed in 3261 S.A, to challenge Sauron: The fleet came at last to that place that was called Umbar, where was a mighty haven that no hand had wrought.

		The Corsairs were a mix of Black Numenoreans and Harad peoples and thus their fighting style is somewhat a mix of the two.
		In all Umbar history, it is most likely that the Black Numenoreans maintained control due to their strength of character and power of the mind to daunt normal men.
		Corsairs that are using a hand weapon and cutlass get one attack to resolve combat and then two strikes to wound if they win.

		Their home is gone and the Men of Gondor have built the defenses and improved the fleets, they call themselves the “True Corsairs of Umbar,” and their presence in the land is justly feared for they have bested the enemy even in their own tactics.
		The City of the Corsairs was built in the eastern most reaches of the haven during the years of Numenor’s pride and power, and at a time when the skill of their engineers was at its peak for they took great pride in their skill.

		From the client kings to the Corsairs of Umbar, the Haradrim are a varied people, although something they all share is a great resolve.
		Umbar has changed hands many number of times in its history, as Gondor and Harad vied for control over her harbour.
		The Lords of Umbar are far from weak, as one might be fooled into thinking when looking upon their formidable guards, rather they are cautious in the extreme, and not without good cause - for assassination attempts and small-scale coups are a regular occurrence in the political climate of Umbar's ruling council.

		It was used to aid communication with Umbar, with lighthouses, ports, and watch-posts (similar to those employed in on the northwest borders of Gondor) and as a belt of land to be denied to hostile forces.
		Following Eldacar’s recapture of his throne, the rebels, as is well known, seized the havens of Umbar and became perpetual enemies of the rulers of Gondor.
		However, the vicious nature of the conflict between the Corsairs of Umbar and the Crown proved especially devastating for Harondor, with towns sacked, villages burned, and merchant ships captured.

		It not only makes a nice combo with Corsairs, it also is helped greatly by it for playability, since without them several of its areas of play (such as Nurn and Udun) are dangerous enough to make playing it pointless (well, which would you rather play, Mumak or Khamul?
		Easy choice.) So playing them together is quite beneficial, and makes a nice surprise for an (unsuspecting?) opponent.
		And the only disadvantage of Corsairs is its 1 marshalling point, which is small enough to outweigh the chances of their being defeated.

		Not to worry, as far as I know, the Corsairs of Umbar are in the movie (unless, once again, they were cut, but that seems unlikely, and I hope I'm right).
		Also, PJ did shoot a short sequence where he did a cameo, appearing as one of the corsairs and fighting one of the main characters.
		So just to say that the Corsairs are supposed to have their role in ROTK; if not, I guess it's another sequence for the Extended Edition.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - LOTR-ROTK Screening discussion 37. The Corsairs of Umbar*
		I think if you cut the end of the PotD it needs to be at the same point as in the TE as there we go from an undesided dead to a attacking dead, a pretty easy leap of logic.
		If you include the exit from the PotD but not the "we fight" or the Corsairs then you suddenly go from a dead refusing to fight to one leaping out of the boats which is too great a leap if you ask me.
		I don't think much of the scene but I don't think that foreknowledge of the dead really damages the tension a great deal as their arrival isnt really a tension builder like that of the Rohirrim(plus were not told their actually coming).

		Corsairs of Umbar: Renegade Dúnedain who raid the coasts of Gondor (-1 pts).
		Notes: Corsairs are a renegade offspring of the Dúnedain of Gondor, who have taken the control of the former Gondorian colony Umbar, from where their galleys -- rowed by slaves, mainly people captured in raids on Gondorian coasts -- regularly attack havens and ships of Gondor, sometimes as far inland as Pelargir on Anduin.
		Enemy of the Dúnedain of Arnor was for most of the Third Age the Witch-kingdom of Angmar; the people of Gondor had the Corsairs of Umbar for enemies ever since the Kin-strife.
