My only issue with this is the fact that it is not cannon at all. We know that there is another Black Númenorean colony/country in Harad, but we don't know where or how degraded they are. Also, we don't know what Mevan's plans are, he may already have this (or something similar) in his plans.

We don't know where another BN colony may be, actually. We know there were some, but the Inland City could be anywhere from Umbar to Tol Hith. We also don't know if it survived. I'd be very inclined to say it didn't beyond ruins, or if it did the people would surely only have a few drops of Numenorean blood--we're told the BNs willingly merged with lesser races far faster than the Gondorians.

Therefore, I'd say that the only actual BNs should be found in Mordor. Their ruined colonies should scatter the coast, and perhaps we can have one small faction who claim Numenor as their heritage but are not recognizably Numenorean. I'd also like the idea of a small, special waypoint in the mountains, a "last refuge" where maybe a few of somewhat purer blood could be found.
