[Lord Elrond]

When the witchking of Carm Dum took over the North Kingdom the remaining people that were still left after the plague fled into the wilderness of the North and for a while took refuge with the icemen of Forochel. Among the people who fled was the heir to the throne and his line. In order to seek refuge with the icemen the heir(I dont remember which ancestor) gave them the Ring of Barahir to secure their safety, the main cities of Anor fell (Elostirion, Fornost, and Anuminas. After a while they left the far north and simply became wanderers and nomads if you will and lived in the old north kingdom but never established a city. I believe it says somewhere that they settled in the area around the lake (Evendim ? I think that was the name of it, I don't have my atlas here and I never really studied the North area). Anyways they hunted orcs, traveled and still protected the smaller towns and villages of men and hobbits from evil creatures without knowledge or gratitude.
