Corsairs of Umbar



The Corsairs of Umbar, also known as the Corsair Company, is a large company of sellswords that lived in the country of Umbar. These mercenaries were grim, brutal and fierce in their hatred towards the kingdom of Gondor. These Umbareans often raid the coasts of Gondor and use Gondorians as slaves to man their ships. After the downfall of Númenor, the Umbar settlers further descended into evil, and were called the Black Númenóreans. While they attend to pillage along the coasts of Gondor, these Umbareans would be hired by the richest clients. During the Kin-strife, the defeated rebels of Gondor fled to Umbar. At this time Umbar became the hated enemy of Gondor. Over time these mercenaries recruited numerous outlaws and brigands from outlying settlements surrounding the Anduin, and were hired by their clients to raid along the southern Gondorian coast, intercepting merchant vessels and abducting women to bolster their dissident community.
