Lake-men

The Men of the Long Lake

The people of Lake-town on the Long Lake, to the south of Erebor. A trading people, they dealt with Erebor and Dale in the times before Smaug's coming, and with the Wood-elves of Mirkwood.


Notes

1

It's hinted that the older stone town of Esgaroth, at one time the home of the Lake-men, dated back to a time of legend. As descendants of the kin of the Edain, it is even possible that the Lake-men were established on the Long Lake as far back as the later First Age.
