Maybe some good-hearted Dúnedain could adopt children of the Hillmen who lost their parents?* But otherwise, many of the survivors - even if they were migrating - would probably also die in the wilderness. I think the tale itself will be quite sad.

*Wow... I just got a fantastic idea for a tale or an RPG. What if a child of some chieftain of the Angmarim was fostered and growing up in Rivendell, as it happened with some Dúnedain? The life-story could be definitely interesting...

Shouldn't this be in the Role Playing Game section?
