Númenor was an island in the Great Sea, between Middle-earth and Aman. The land was brought up from the sea as a gift to Men. Elros, son of Eärendil was the first King of Númenor, taking the name of Tar-Minyatur ("First King"). Under his rule, and those of his descendants, Men rose to become a powerful race.
The Númenóreans were forbidden by the Valar from sailing so far westward that Númenor was no longer visible, for fear that they would come upon the Undying Lands, to which men could not come.
Over time the Númenóreans came to resent the Ban of the Valar and to rebel against their authority, seeking the everlasting life that they believed was begrudged them. They tried to compensate this by going eastward and colonizing large parts of Middle-earth, first in a friendly way, but later as tyrants. Soon the Númenóreans came to rule a great but terrorizing maritime empire that had no rival, but a few (the Faithful) bowed to the Valar and friendly to the elves.
Prompted by Sauron and fearing death and old age, the last king of Númenor Ar-Pharazôn built a great armada and set sail into the west to make war upon the Valar and seize the Undying Lands. In the year SA 3319 of the Second Age, Ar-Pharazôn landed on Aman and marched to the city of Valimar. Manwë, chief of the angelic Valar, called upon Ilúvatar, who broke and changed the world, trapping Ar-Pharazôn and his mighty host who landed on Aman in mounds of dirt and inside the Caves of the Forgotten until the last battle, taking Aman and Tol Eressëa from the spheres of Arda forever, changing the world's shape from flat to round and sinking Númenor and killing its inhabitants.
Now, many years later - the remnants of the Númenorean colonies in the far South of Middle-Earth have joined forces under the command of Ar-Gimilkhad - ready to enact their vengeance upon those loyal to the Valar. The Ar-Adûnâim, or King's Men, will restore the glory of Ar-Pharazôn - and bend all the free peoples to their will.

    Nice to see the at adunaim in their element. They will do wonders later on. I’m also interested to see how the conscripted units look. One more thing. The conscription camp actually lowers your public order. Until you reach the next tier of it you will have negative public order

    Looking forward to this kinda neutral sounding campaign for the Ar-Adunaim! As always I can't wait to see more vids, but don't overwork yourself Izzy, take care and I hope you feel better soon!

    Looking forward to the campaign! Also as a general rule of thumb: It's always better to sack a settlement as it gives more money and more public order, the only exception could be when a settlement's population is near the next tier of settlement.

    This is an interesting way to passively learn more about the lore of middle earth, I don't think I've ever heard of these guys before. Still gotta go and listen to the finale of the angmar campaign, but I'll be back to absorb this series soon.
