I think HerenIstarion was probably on the right track, guys. Another word that JRRT would have known. I think "the Variags of Khand" could be a phrase akin to "the Highlanders of Scotland" or "the Rangers of the North" if you want something LotR. A group of people, probably warlike, who come from Khand, but are separate from the Khandanese or Khandadhrim or Khandish in general... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
