| | Concerning elves the only thing the dunlendings know for sure is that they are friends of the Rohirrim, which is enough to hate them. | | | Fielded by Clan Bear, one of the largest clans, their origins date back to the battle of helms deep, when the dunlendings were fighting for Saruman side aside with the Uruk-Hai. | | | Although, as with the Third Age, they could possibley be converted to the side of evil, as with Saruman in the raids on Rohan. |

| | The One Ring: The White Council :: View topic - Too much "purism" from the film-makers - a bad thing? |
| | Some Tolkien illustrators have shown the Dunlendings as slightly Celtic in dress; given the Germanic appearance of the Rohirrim, this would have worked quite well on a visual level, with a certain historical resonance. | | | Their modern day descendents have, in the late 80's and 90's, come out of the closet as it were. | | | The film-makers have clearly streamlined Saruman's armies - no Dunlendings at Helm's Deep, no half-orcs at all - and there are probably good reasons for this, both financial and artistic. |

| | The Dunlendings were so-called Middle Men like the Rohirrim, but since they spoke a different language (related to the Second House of Men, the Haladin, rather than the Bëorian/Marachian tongue which stood at the base of Adûnaic), they were not recognised as Middle Men by the Númenoreans of the Second Age. | | | Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth: the land of the Dunlendings, the men who were part of Saruman's army of Isengard in his war on Rohan. | | | The Dunlendings of northern Eriador mingled with other Middle Men, becoming the Men of Bree and other Men of Arnor, forgetting their ancestry and tongue, becoming subjects of the Dúnedain of Arnor. |
