The Black Númenóreans were the descendants of the Kingsmen among the Númenóreans. They called themselves Ârûwânai (A."King's Men") or Adûnaim (A."Western Men"). The true Black Númenóreans were a dying bloodline in the late third age, but despite the Kingsmen´s disdain of what they considered "lesser men", there had been several mixed-blooded successor cultures in Harad claiming to be heirs of Númenórean superiority. Among these were the Amazôn, Anbalukkhôri, Bellakarani, Gimilthânians, Kharadûnaim, Pharazâin, Tantûraki and Zimrathânians. In many of these former Númenórean Colonies caste systems prevailed, in which classes of population claiming to be of high Númenórean blood held the highest social status. Classes of indigenous lineage held the lowest social status (For example the People of Bellakar who divided themselves into Adûnaim, Bellakarani, Bellakaze, Bellanarod and Desert-Dwellers). Indeed these tendencies also existed in the Realms of the Elendili although in an alleviated form.
The true Black Númenóreans called those "lesser Black Númenóreans" whose blood had mingled with lesser Men Banadûnaim ("Half-Númenóreans"). The largest part of the Kharadûnaim, Bellakaze, Bellakarani, Anbalukkhôri and Zimrathânians were such Banadûnaim.
