Dunlendings

The Dunlendings, or Wild-men of Dunland, were Men from the west of the Misty Mountains in Middle-earth, who lived in the barren hills of Dunland. Incited by Saruman, they eagerly rushed to raise arms for Sauron's cause.
== History ==
The Dunlendings were a barbaric folk, far more primitive than the other races of Men, and yet a significant threat if in great numbers. They were dressed in rugged cloths made of animal-skins and armed with torches, pikes, axes and knives and some even riding horses into battle. Their ancestors had once inhabited the region that would become Rohan, but they were pushed out and their lands granted to the Rohirrim, with whom they shared a bitter enmity throughout the Ages.
At times when the Rohirrim were weak, the Dunlendings would cross the river to pillage and burn the neighboring kingdom's villages before being time and time again forced back by the horse-riders. Chief among these incidents was the attempt of their king to claim the throne of Rohan, even going as far as to besiege Helm Hammerhand at the fortress that would since be called Helm's Deep. All this resulted in a crushing defeat for the Dunlendings and even more bad blood between the two peoples.
During the War of the Ring, they threw in with Saruman, who by fueling their feud with the Rohirrim, earned himself and Sauron their blood-oaths; hordes of Dunlendings were unleashed upon Rohan together with orc-parties from Isengard, overpowering the old men and young boys left and laying waste to anything they would call home.
