	Umbar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		With the Fall of Barad-dûr, Umbar, weakened and defeated, finally lost its sovereignty and submitted to the crown of King Elessar.
		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.

	Umbar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Umbar and the Bay of Umbar, the coastlands, was lying in the South-East of the Bay of Belfalas below Harondor and West of Haradwaith.
		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.
		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
		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.
		Umbar was reclaimed in 1030, but Ciryaher of Gondor prevented them from regaining control over the Haradrim, and by 1050 Umbar fell to Gondor.
		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.

		Umbar is a great natural haven located to the south of the Bay of Belfalas.
		It was a psychological defeat because it was at Umbar that the monument celebrating Ar-Pharazon's humbling of Sauron was erected.
		The men of Umbar fell under the domination of Sauron's servants and they threw down the pillar that was a symbol of the Dark Lord's humiliation.

	TolkienWiki: Umbar
		In the tenth century of the ThirdAge, kings of Gondor attacked Umbar and broke the sea power of the BlackNúmenoreans and took possession of port, city and territories.
		Umbar became a part of the kingdom of Gondor until the civil war and revolt in 1448 (T.A.), when rebel forces and Haradrim allies took possession of the port and separated it from Gondor.
		The Corsairs were forced to sue for peace and, during the Fourth Age, Umbar was controlled by the Dúnedain kings of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor.

		They arrived in Umbar ready for battle, but the Corsairs had learned from the previous raid and this time they determined not to be caught on shore.
		The Men of Umbar had underestimated their enemy and assumed they must be running blind in the fortress-city.
		Their stay in Umbar was not to be without profit for they found many treasures in the deeper halls, works of Numenor, that had lain there untouched, and these that could be carried were taken with them.

		Umbar is the greatest coastal port and a large natural harbor in Harad.

		At age seven, his family moved to the embassy in Umbar where his father was to take on the role of Gondorian Ambassador to Umbar where the city was being renovated under Gondorian rule after the assertion of King Elessar to the throne after the War of the Ring.
		As Umbar began to muster a defence in preparation of the fall of Minas Tirith, word came that the King had returned and that Mordor was overthrown.
		When the Council was formed, all of the men appointed to re-organize Umbar were from the nobility of Gondor, not one a citizen of Umbar, or in that case, a corsair.

		The reoccurring theme though is the influence on its history of external powers, principally Umbar, Harad and Gondor, and the strategic value of this region in the contests between them.
		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.

	The Guild Companion: Bellakar 1446-1540 In Umbar's shadow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Bellakar became an important trade partner for Umbar, with exchanges to regions as far away as the Seven Lands or Eriador.
		In the meantime, the quarrelling factions and conspirators among the Council of Captains in Umbar and the violent devastation and pillaging of the Gondorian coast (like the raids against Tolfalas, Lebennin or northern Harondor), slowly increased the distrust of Umbar among the Bellakaranî, while the privileged trade with Eriador continued.
		On the other hand, relations between Bellakar and Umbar continued to worsen, and some Corsairs began to interest themselves in Mardruak coasts (much as the Sorija had in the past).

		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.
		Umbar is a natural haven for ships that encompasses some 38,757 square miles.
		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.

		Before dawn, scores of wagons from the countryside line up the square on their way south to the market; messengers and adventurers form a small trickle that goes the opposite way, and occasionally an army marches East, overruling all other traffic.

		By the time Xiola Umbar got back to her cave, Orlanth was in pretty bad shape -- just shaking on the floor, turning colors, making funny noises, gacking up stuff, and generally being as sick as an enlo that got into the brewer's stock.
		And this was the last time that Xiola Umbar gave refuge to non-uz without making them swear the Mercy Oath, because the Thieving Wind stole part of her Trust that day.

		So Umbar had to be destroyed, not retaken, near the end of the second millennium, and by this time Sauron was again powerful enough to begin wearing down Gondor's already depleted population.
		Gondor did become embroiled in naval wars with Umbar, but such warfare was unknown in the Second Age, or so ineffective that Numenor easily crushed all rivals on the sea.

		Tolkien does not mention the Corsairs again until the Stewardship of Cirion (2489-2567), although he tells us that Umbar was seized by Men of Harad sometime during the years when the Wainriders attacked Gondor (possibly between 1940 and 1944, when Wainriders passed south of Mordor and formed an alliance with the Haradrim).
		The Corsairs continued to attack Gondor (and later Rohan) from that time forward, until the War of the Ring, when their fleets were taken by Aragorn and the army of the ghosts of the Men of Dunharrow.
		The relationship between Gondor and the Corsairs of Umbar -- at least at the end of the Third Age -- is thus very much like that between northern Mediterranean ports and the Barbary Corsairs for many years.
