The Corsairs of Umbar are a fictional nation of Men (Middle-earth) in the fantasy universe of J.R.R. Tolkien Middle-earth. Umbar was an old Númenor haven settled by the ''King's Men'' — a proud faction loyal to the King and opposed to the divine authority of the Valar. (See Elendili). After the Downfall of Númenor, the Umbar settlers further descended into evil, and were called the Black Númenoreans. 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. By the time of the War of the Ring, the Corsairs had mixed with the Southrons, becoming a mixed people where Númenórean blood was mostly gone. During the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, a fleet of Corsairs was raiding Lebennin when Aragorn captured their ships and rowed them to Minas Tirith to relieve the siege of the city. Middle-earth Men
I took content from the Southrons article because Corsairs were separate from them and did not intermingle until later in the Third Age. Also, their lineage as Númenoreans merits a separate treatment as well. -- User:Alcarillo 19:15, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
