The Dunmen (S.: "Harnedrim"; lit. "Southerners") were a people in Eriador in the early to mid-third Age.They were descendants or northern relatives of the Daen Coentis who had settled in southern Eriador, especially in Enedwaith but some tribes also had moved to Cardolan and Rhudaur.The Dunmen of the north assimilated to the Angmarrim, the Hillmen and the Vulseggi of the Egladil while the cardolanian Dunmen, partly intermixed with cardolanian northmen, became the clansmen saralainn and the Siol Speriag. Other Dunmen settled in Calenardhon and became the ancestors of the later Dunlendings. The term "Dunmen" was probably a corruption of Daen Lintis, the name they gave to themselves although it may have be understood as Men of the Duns (Men of the Hills or Men of the Hillforts) or Dark Men.
