Yes, Umbar would be the greatest, other than that, only a few unnamed dominions on the coasts of M-E.

Question

There are intimations in 'Of The Rings of Power & The Third Age' in The Silmarillion which reveal the existence of many colonies in the South and East of Middle-Earth.

Quote:
And Sauron gathered to him great strength of his servants out of the east and the south; and among them were not a few of the high race of Númenor. For in the days of the sojourn of Sauron in that land the hearts of well nigh all its people had been turned towards darkness. Therefore many of those who sailed east in that time and made fortresses and dwellings upon the coasts were already bent to his will....

Better drive them off quick before they establish a beach-head. Otherwise you may end up being dominated.

Maeglin, you do not want to be dominated by NUMEROUS NUMENOREANS! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Sorry...just had to throw that into this! I take advantage of every opportunity to be silly!
Hey...wondering here, would those little green army men be considered Numenoreans? There's a bunch of 'em in my next door neighbor's yard from their demon children!
