White-fiendsThe Easterlings’ name for the ElvesThe Easterlings - or at least those of the First Age - had a fear and hatred of the Elves. Doubtless encouraged by Morgoth, these invaders had come to see the Elves as uncanny and dangerous beings, naming them 'white-fiends' and avoiding the places where they might be found. The use of the word 'white' here is not directly explained, but it presumably refers to the generally pale skin of the Elves (some of them indeed seem to have literally had white skin).1 Notes
