I could start with saying once again by being picky and saying that you are not very precise. Where are the Drúedain? And I'm not sure you can mix Umbarean and Haradrim together. What about the men from the White Mountains? And what about Enedwaith/Minhiriath folk, do they count among Eriadorean? The Enedwaith folk from the Second Age should be counted as separate, I believe, and someone could identify themselves with them. But no, I believe for the basic it suffices. Well, maybe indeed except for the Drúedain. That may really seem missing to someone.

And what about Beornings? Do you count them amongst Northerners? And Woodmen, also?

(Oh no, please, don't get me wrong, elempi, it's not supposed to be anything bad against you. These threads are great. But I just have to say these things because I consider them important. At least for me. Maybe others are not as picky, but if there are more people like me, the more importantly should I mention it. "Constructive criticism", you may call it.)

Personally, since this thread is not about what do you feel you are but with what do you have the greatest affinity, I'm for the Northerners. If you mean by it the men of Lake-Town and Dale, and also the Woodmen, then definitely. Certainly not the Northerners like Eorlings (and you do well to discern them), but these are very nice folks. I feel very close to both Woodmen and the men of Lake-Town and the men from Dale.
