In my opinion, this ally ship was stupid. It has been dissolved as frankly, it was stupid. As Speg pointed out, yes you can claim the Grey Mountains. The Dwarves were killed off by Dragons long ago. Here's the reason I think the Black Numenorean-Dol Amroth alliance was stupid. Let's back track a bit.

The King of Numenor decided to invade Valinor. He failed miserably. As punishment, Eru completely destroyed Numenor. All the Numenoreans were killed. There were some known as the "Faithful", who had fled Numenor before its destruction and they came to be known as the Dunedain. Or, the men of Gondor and the Rangers that are in the mod right now.

There were however other Numenoreans, they were not on Numenor when it was destroyed and they were on Umbar. So they came to be known as the Black Numenoreans as they were corrupt and worshipped Sauron.

Thus, it makes it absolutely stupid that Dol Amroth can be allied with Black Numenoreans. In fact, Dol Amroth and Umbar were #1 enemies of each other. So that makes it even more stupid, and what makes it even more stupid was that the "Black Numenoreans" didn't even live on Umbar!

The rules should be that something should stay to lore, not start having crap like this happen, what worries me the most is that SLMJIM thinks that it is completely fine for Dol Amroth and Black Numenoreans to be allied, but wrong for Orcs to claim the Grey Mountains. Even though they are literally crawling with orcs...

I thought the rules stated that things must be lore? Is it not so?

Yes, I know the alliance was broken and the "Black Numenoreans" ended up just joining Dol Amroth in the end. This is just my thoughts on all this.
