Umbar Is Recaptured

In Gondor Tarondor could do little as King other than reorder his land. Between plagues and wars Gondor had little strength. Tarondor had the longest reign of any King in Gondor but little to show for it. His son, Telumehtar, however took action. He raided the Corsairs and took Umbar by force killing the last descendants of Castamir in the fighting. However, the victory was short lived in Gondor as Umbar would soon be lost again by new evils fast approaching.
