Numenoreans killing numenoreans...so wrong
But this is exectly what happend, the Kingsmen of Numenor (+Umbar etc.) got corrupted by Melkor and Sauron. Elendil rebeld with a loyal men to stop them and later created Arnor and Gondor
i know about that. It's still wrong xD
Well, there wasn't a war in Numenor, the kingsmen simply started to isolate the Dunedain (Dunedain=elf's friends, Kings Men=the corrupted ones) . For a time Umbar was part of Gondor, then the kin strife happened. Don't know if, after Numenor fell, there was skirmishes between numenoreans but i haven't seen information about that (if there were please share, i want to know more)
Officially wars between Numenoreans was after Numenor fell. In Last Alliance war some King's Men/Black Numenoreans (from Umbar and Harad) fought for Sauron, and next for years, Numenoreans from Umbar attacked Gondor to time, when in 930 Gondor conquered Umbar, but in next time still was conflict between them
Yes, but what im talking about is really open war Numenoreans vs Numenoreans. Only the kin strife, then the black numenoreans went to Umbar and claimed it as theirs. But then it got reconquered by the Dunedain, 5 years later it was lost to the haradrim. There were black numenoreans in Sauron's service, the Mouth of Sauron, the Witch-King, several others.
But we have to distinguish Black Numenoreans from King's Men, as the Black Numenoreans came from the King's Men but the King's Men weren't all Black Numenoreans (that's what i understood)
In Third Age name "Black Numenoreans" is for all Numenoreans who not lived in Gondor or Arnor, so for all King's Men from Umbar and other colonies
hmm...that's discrimination! xD . Imagine if you were from a distant colony not reached by the influence of Sauron, where everyone still has pure numenorean blood and haven't lost knowledge and are elf friendly and decide to see how Arnor and Gondor are doing and being called Black Numenorean xD i would be like "But...what did we do? :'( "
I would call that **** happens!!!
xD
Ups, I forgot to reply on this >.<
We know that mostly of Elendili lived in Andunie (and before fall of Numenor they moved to Romenna) and in Numenorean colonies on north from Umbar (so, e.g. Pelargir), so if some Elendili lived in Umbar and in colonies on south from Umber, they probably moved to Gondor and Arnor after Akallabeth
I see multiple mountains in the background there but the Meneltarma was the only mountain on Numenor if I recall correctly; will final battle maps be more representative of the Numenorian landscape?
Battlemaps is from vanilla, we don't have custom map yet ;)
