Umbar:
The northernmost realm of Harad. During the reign of the Kings
of Gondor, Umbar acknowledged the sway of Gondor. In the Second
Age of the Sun, Umbar was a haven for the Númenorean ships.
The defeated rebels from the Kinslaying in the Third Age of the
Sun fled to Umbar, whence came the Corsairs which were such a curse
to Gondor until the end of the War of the Ring.
The fleet sent to war against Sauron from Númenor conquered
him at Umbar. There was set a giant crystal in memorial. However,
when Sauron returned, this symbol of his humiliation was thrown
down.
