UDES is nervous about Umbar's Imperialistic conquest of much of Harad. UDES sides against Umbar, hoping to stop their land-grab. It is a war fought on sea, and Umbar is the clear winner there, but they are unable to beat the UDES on land. Eventually, they become tired of fighting: the UDES because their navy is decimated, Umbar because their are weaker and more valuable nations to fight. So they sign the Treaty of Seasmoke, named after the massive citadel on the Umbaran isle off the Rocky Coastline where it was sighed. It gives Umbar the northern coast of the Rocky Coastline. Their loss on land forces the Umbaran Empress to make new elite land shock trooper: the Black Numenorean knights.
