Woses

[Inderjit Sanghera]

The Druedain were ancestors of the Woses, of LoTR. They were the first 'men' to cross the Anduin, and they came in, from Southern Ithilien to the White Moutnains and Enedwaith.

Some excavated to Beleriand, with the Haladin, and lived with them in all three of their homes, The forests in Thargelion (Land of Caranthir), Estolad (Land of Amrod)and Brethil. They were fierce enemies of the Orcs, though some peoples said they were akin, though looks, though the Druedain were a good, (if at times sardonic) race.

There is no element of the Druedian in the 'Narn I Hin Hurin' or 'The Wanderings of Hurin' the two stories about latter Brethil, after the Nirnaeth, but it is obvious that some survived, since there was a Druedain population in Numenor, but they all, eventually left. ( They started to leave after the voyage's of Aldarion, and none were left by the time Sauron came to Numenor.)

In M-E, they were oftne hunted by men, whether evil, of no alligience (See Tal-elmar) or 'good' men, such as the Rohhirm.
