Menel's idea has merit.
Another thought too: Numenor isn't filled up with only rich Numenoreans. The only way any society can exist is for there to be an underclass that does all the dirty work. Just imagine how many disaffected poor folk there must be on the outskirts of the great city, happy to help people who are (1) against the powers that be (2) willing to do all they can for the disaffected. It also adds a good moral aspect to the group's story possibilities.
Yes, this idea has been just as overused as all the rest, but it just seems like it probably has more potential for interesting story.
