In Arnor, there were Edainic tribes, possibly/probably more closely related to the House of Bëor, as well as the Breemen/Dunlending/relatives of the House of Haleth of the Minihiriath. And in Gondor the indigenous tribes appear to have been related to the Men of the Mountains, and so of the same racial stock as the Dunlendings.
Wow, I have some reading to do. Haha, reading of The Silm is definitely in order...HoMe as well.

Nice feedback everyone, appreciated...I guess we can assume that there could have been dark haired Rohirrim, but none made it into the main tale.
