My evil genius boss (New Lord of the Rings Game)

Good Evening drones

So zac is quite the evil genius, he tricked me into applying my ridiculous amounts of LOTR knowledge into explaiining this new game thats being produced...well here's what i know about these so called "Black Numenorians" (Sorry that my explanation is so confusing but I wrote it in five minutes to Zac over facebook, and did not really think much about planning it out in any logical order.)

urrrgg they have some of their facts skewed...but they r talking about the black numenorians, a race of ppl who fled the island of numenor after the supreme god struck it down...basically isiliudur aragorn's anscestor fled the island, and it was isiliudur and his father i think who struck down sauron at the end of the second age with the aid of gil-galad the elf king of the noldor (the eastern great elves who were in middle earth at this point). The black numenorians were the numenorians who fled from the great island of numenor and were against the gods of the west, and so they allied with Sauron the god of the east in effect, and so they became the black numenorians, versus aragorns anscestors who were white numenorians and elf-frend. the island of numenor was created a long time ago at the dawn of the second age as a home of the humans who fought on the elves behalf against the evil lord morgoth and his lieuftenant Sauron. These humans were of course, called numenorians, and had very long lives (about six hundred years), because they were half human and half elf, (their orignal leader is elronds brother, so elrond chose to be elf, whereas the ancient numenorians chose to be humans). Now the Numenorians were beloved of the Gods of the West, and were given extended lives, great power, and many virtuous things, but were corrupted by a wish to extend their lives, and by Sauron, who they defeated in a war. Basically the island of numenor was halfweay between middle earth and the land of the gods, and from thyis island the numenoreans collonised Middle Earth and built great kingdoms, and when Sauron tried to attack them, they came across the sea and whooped his bitch ass. They took him as a prisoner to their island where he corrupted the people to take on the gods. ONly about five hudred numenorians stayed loyal to the gods and these were the ansceestors of aragorn, and tyhe founders of the kingdoms of Gondor in the SOuth, and Arnor in the North. Now the rest of the Numenorians became ensanred by Sauron's promises, and built a HUGE army to destroy the gods, and so the gods basically said...FUCK YOu and allowed the supreme god Eo, or Illuvatiar to enter into the world and swallow up teh island of Numenor. The only surviviors were the good numenorians, who sailed in seven ships to Middle Earht, and the colonists who were evil and settled in Middle Earth previously, these evil colonists are THE BLACK NUMENORIANS at the start of the second age. They are basically the nobility of the evil men in the scond age, so the haradrim, and the men of RHUN, they were very powerful, equal in strength to aragorn, or isiuldur, they ruled over the South. Sauron's liefutenant at the end of the third age was their final member, had Sauron won he would have re-populated the world of men with the race of the black numenorians, and probably taken down the gods this time. 
The game is kinda going off canon by saying he is a sorcere, my guess is that they are also referencing the blue wizards who came before gandlaf saruman and rand the brown, and who defeated many of Saurons leaders during the second age and helped gil-galad, and isiliudur win the battle on the plain of dagorlad, but there is also a theory that one of the two blue qizards were corrupted and turned to Sauron's side during this period, and went on to dominate his forces, so they could be referencing him...only issue is that the wizards are shadily minor gods not numenorians...therefore strictly speaking this is bullshit
Also the black numenoreans mainly huddled around the port of Umbar during the early thiurd age, as the forces of good kind of owned the North, so i am kind of confused by the snow shots in the trailer.  Also rivendell would easily be able to crush any black numenorian force because Elrond's power was at its peak at this point, and the elves of the noldor were VERY numerous in the forests.  Basically this looks like a fun game, but it couldnt have happenned.
