The Axe-Easterlings or Axemen (S."Hatholhoth") were a People or confederation of Tribes which invaded western Rhûn and Gondor in the late Third Age. They seemed unrelated to the earlier easterling Tribes of Rhûn as the Balchoth and Wainriders and were described as Small, stout, bearded like Dwarves and wielding Great Axes.They called themselves Hazga (Rhû."Clans") or later Sûhalar (originally the name of the confederation's largest Tribe) and were largely the descendants of those Umli, Dyrian and Desdursy tribes who had emerged from the northern Rahiwenna who did not bow to the Balchoth Rule and who could free themselves from the yoke of the Clans of Near-Rhûn after the division of the former Balchoth-empire.
