Hill-men

Hillmen were wild men, who lived in small tribes. These tribes were located in the Misty Mountains, the Ettenmoors, Northern Eriador, the Withered Heath, and Dunland. The Dunlendings were a tribe of hillmen that chose to live in the fields of Dunland. Most of the hillmen of Middle-earth were there before the Numenorians came from over the sea. Others were Numenorian outcasts or criminals who joined the hillmen. The hillmen learned to hate the Numenorians as they killed many hillmen during their search for land to settle.
