In the later First Age, Beleriand was a land blighted by warfare and disaster, and many Men had lost their homes, or been driven into the wild as punishment for crimes. These outlaws gathered together in bands to hunt for what they needed, not fearing to attack and plunder their fellow Men if they fell on desperate times. Those whose settlements they attacked called them Gaurwaith, an Elvish name that translates as 'Wolf-men'. One band of these Wolf-men became important in the histories of the First Age. This group of about fifty outlaws and outcasts led by a Man named Forweg, captured Túrin on the western fringes of Doriath. Eventually Túrin would rise to lead the band, and from it build Dor-Cúarthol, the Land of Bow and Helm that opposed the forces of Morgoth for a time. These Men would eventually be betrayed and slain, but for a time they put aside their outlaw ways and fought the invading Orcs. Notes
