The Black Numenoreans are, effectively, Gondor Shadow minions. (Yes, I know that there is a corsair called Black Numenorean, but ignore him.)
Black Numenorean, in this group, is a new unloaded keyword. For some examples of what they do, see below...
 *The Witch-king, Er-Murazor [Gondor Shadow]
Minion*Man
Strength: 14
Vitality: 4
Site #: 3
Black Numenorean. Fierce.
Each time a  character wins a skirmish and you can spot 6 companions, the Free Peoples player must choose to add a burden or discard a card from hand.
 *Ulaire Lemenya, Akhorahil the Blind [Gondor Shadow]
Minion*Man
Strength: 9
Vitality: 2
Site #: 3
Black Numenorean. Enduring.
At the start of the maneuver phase, you may exert another character to make Ulaire Lemenya fierce until the regroup phase.
*Ulaire Otsea, Adunaphel the Quiet [Gondor Shadow]
Minion*Man
Strength: 9
Vitality: 3
Site #: 3
Black Numenorean. Fierce.
Ulaire Otsea is strength +1 for each other character you can spot (limit +3).
To avoid confusion about the race, these are the Nazgul after they got their rings but before they became the Ringwraiths... only these three were Black Numenoreans; the rest were from other peoples.
Here’s another example of one of their mechanics:
 Ring of Corruption [Gondor Shadow]
Artifact*Ring
Strength +1
Bearer must be a Man.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish, he becomes a fierce minion until the regroup phase.
Regroup: If bearer is a minion and a player reconciles, return bearer to his owner’s hand.
 Lure of the Dark Lord [Gondor Shadow]
Event*Response
If a Black Numenorean wins a skirmish involving a companion who has resistance 2 or less, that companion becomes a fierce minion until the regroup phase.
Join the Master [Gondor Shadow]
Condition*Support Area
Maneuver: Spot a Black Numenorean and a companion who has resistance 0 to make that companion a fierce minion until the regroup phase. Discard this condition.
*Power Corrupts [Gondor Shadow]
Condition*Support Area
To play, spot a Black Numenorean.
Each companion who has 10 strength or more is resistance -1.
Each companion who has 12 strength or more is resistance -1.
Each companion who has 15 strength or more is resistance -1. |

It’s been a while since I’ve made DC’s, so please feel free to review or post your own Black Numenoreans here.
Numenorean Wizard [Gondor Shadow]
Minion*Man
Strength: 10
Vitality: 3
Site #: 4
Black Numenorean.
While this minion is skirmishing a companion, he is strength +2 and damage +1.
You Cannot Stop Us [Gondor Shadow]
Condition
Vitality -1
Resistance -2
To play, spot a Black Numenorean.
Plays on a companion (except the Ringbearer) who is not exhausted.
Limit 1 per companion.
That’s all for now... |

Perhaps to symbolize [Gondor Shadow], you could use  ...
 • The Mouth of Sauron, Corrupted Numenorean
Minion • Man
Strength: 9
Vitality: 3
Site Number: 5
Black Numenorean. Lurker.
Regroup: Discard the Mouth of Sauron to add a burden for each exhausted companion you can spot. |

Ouch. This absolutely DESTROYS a fellowship. I know it drastically changes (and weakens) the card, but perhaps limit it to minions.

Again, limit this to minions, or limit it to once per phase. Otherwise you can use this to exert every FP character down to being exhausted.

Now this one’s okay since it has a limit. Still very powerful, but okay.

Interesting. I can’t see the FP player ever using this, but it’s good for Shadow.

Hmmm. I see where you’re going with these, but I’m not sure what to think of it yet. I’ll have to think about it a bit longer.

Needs to be resistance -1, -2, and then -3. Right now, I don’t think it works as you intended.

Now THIS is quite good. I like it.

Good!
 for the neat ideas, but I need to think about the turning-companions-into-minions thing a bit more. |

It actually does work. See Southron Conqueror and Southron Intruder. |

I changed the Witch-king and Lemenya a little... They’re supposed to be very, very strong against Gondor fellowships, though, because there’s a better version to achieve whatever else you want.
Also, the Ring of Corruption is a Shadow card; the Free Peoples player isn’t supposed to use it. I envision the Shadow player playing it on a companion, giving the Free Peoples player the hard choice of letting him win and then attack his companions or not using him/winning with him.
I like the Mouth of Sauron you made, Anonymous Prodigy; only thing is, he should be a Black Numenorean. |

Fixed. 
This is an interesting concept; to the first person who makes a follower.  |

Okay...
 *Sauron, Giver of Rings [Gondor Shadow]
Follower
Strength +2
Aid - Remove a burden.
Each time you transfer this to a minion, except a Black Numenorean, wound that minion.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish and you can spot an artifact, the Free Peoples player must add a burden or wound a companion.
 *Castamir of Umbar, Usurper [Gondor Shadow]
Minion*Man
Strength: 14
Vitality: 4
Site #: 4
Corsair. Black Numenorean. Enduring.
Shadow: Exert Castamir of Umbar twice to play a Black Numenorean. That minion’s twilight cost is -2.
Lesser Ring of Power [Gondor Shadow]
Artifact*Ring
Strength +1
Resistance -2
To play, spot a Black Numenorean. Bearer must be a Man.
Each time bearer is assigned to a skirmish, exert a companion. |

Overpowered. With this guy, you could play 3 -cost Black Numenoreans for ! Perhaps raise either his cost or the exertion penalty.
