Dunlendings
      Dunlendings were Men, the last remnant of the people that once inhabited the valleys of the Ered Nimrais. Some of these folk were assimilated by Gondor; one group became the Dead Men of Dunharrow. In the Second Age, however, some of these people had moved north; some settled in Dunland, while others moved into Eriador. The Men of Bree were the northernmost surviving branch at the time of the War of the Ring.
     The Dunlendings were tall, somewhat swarthy, and had dark hair. They were primitive, uncultured, and superstitious.

Dunlendings
      In Dunland, the Dunlendings preserved their ancient language and primitive culture. In the Third Age they hated the Rohirrim, who had driven them out of the northern valleys of the Ered Nimrais and the plains of western Rohan, and so they frequently attacked that country. The two greatest Dunlending attacks on Rohan were in 2758, when they were led by Wulf, and during the War of the Ring, when the Dunlendings were aroused by Saruman.
