Men of the West

People of Bëor	Haladin	People of Hador
	Men of the West Dúnedain of Númenor
Black Númenóreans		Exiles of Númenor
	Dúnedain of Arnor		Dúnedain of Gondor

A term used of the Númenóreans and, especially, their descendants who escaped to Middle-earth after the destruction of their home. 'Men of the West' is a direct translation of the Elvish name for these people, Dúnedain.

The use of 'Men of the West' to refer to specifically to the Dúnedain is nearly universal, but during the War of the Ring Gandalf used it in a more general sense. At the Gates of Mordor, he called on the 'Men of the West' as not only the Dúnedain, but also their allies the Rohirrim and others who made up the Host of the West arrayed against Sauron.
