The nation of the Corsairs consists primarily of Haradwaith pirates and the Black Númenórean who reside in Umbar. Led by the exceptional sea-captain Sangarunya, the Corsairs have effectively established themselves as a dominant force in the Bay of Belfalas and along the coasts of Harandor. The navies of the Corsairs are feared by all and equalled by few. The strategic location of the Corsairs affords them a region that has both plentiful resources, and ready access to the nearby river valley and the Great Sea. Along with a few mages, the skilled diplomats and agents of the Corsairs wield their powers to great effect throughout the neighbouring regions, and have so far managed to keep the forces of both the Free Peoples and the Dark Servants in check.
¶ Special Abilities
- Navies never suffer from storms, or become lost at sea.
- Ships can be built for 750 timber (half the normal cost).
- New characters may have a bonus to their challenge rank.
