In briefanswer capsule

Umbar was a chief Númenórean seaport and stronghold south of Belfalas, a harbour not credited to mortal building. The King of the Sea put in there with his war-fleet from the West. Nearby coasts stood forsaken. A seven-day advance under standards and horns brought him to a height where he placed his throne and required Sauron’s homage; Sauron left Barad-dûr and would not fight.
