Barahir's Outlaws

Barahir's Outlaws were a band of men led by Barahir that roamed Dorthonion after the Dagor Bragollach in FA 455 deifying the will of both Morgoth and Sauron.

History
After saving the life of Finrod Felagund at the Dagor Bragollach, Barahir refused to surrender or submit to the forces of the enemy and returned to Dorthonion. There from a camp set-up near the hidden lake of Tarn Aeluin he and his men lived as outlaws, deifying the enemy and fought against them when ever they could.

However, after many years of hardship their numbers began to dwindle with some being disillusioned some as Gorlim the Unhappy. Gorlim longed for his wife Eilinel who was found to be missing after his return from the Bragollach. Taken captive after a raid by the enemy, Gorlim's nerve failed and he revealed the location of the outlaw band to Sauron for the price of the return of his wife to him. Thus, the location of the hideout was revealed to the enemy and all were slain save for Beren, Barahir's son.
