Men of the North (in the Third Age)The Northmen of RhovanionMen whose settlements spread throughout the northern lands of Middle-earth in the Third Age, from the sources of Anduin to the valley of Dale, and southward through Rhovanion. More commonly called 'Northmen', they were a broad mix of peoples, speaking many different but related tongues. It is from the languages of the Men of the North that the two greatest Wizards took their names: Saruman 'Man of Skill' and Gandalf 'Elf of the Wand'. In the western part of their range, in the upper of Vales of Anduin, they gave rise to the Éothéod, the ancestors of the Rohirrim of Rohan. Notes
