| - Dunlendings are the wild hill-folk of Dunland. They are a race of strong and somewhat brutal men who live in simple wooden shacks and carry weapons or various tools used for farming, fishing, or hunting, the basic elements of their lifestyle. The Dunlendings have a bitter, ancient feud with the people of Rohan. The Dunlendings' ancestral homeland, Calenardhon, originally a province of Gondor, was gifted to the Rohirrim and became the land of Rohan. As a result, the Dunlendings were driven out and into the neighbouring hills. The population of Enedwaith that used to live in the widespread had migrated east years before, populating the area of Dunland, and were joined by these new hillmen. Centuries later they still dream of revenge on the Rohirrim - or as they call them, the 'Strawheads' - and hope to reclaim what they believe to be their rightful homeland. There are various types of Dunlendings, such as warriors and archers equipped with stronger weapons and Dunlending armour, as well as the bartenders in their taverns who sell and buy food, drink, and ingredients from and to friends of Dunland. Women can sometimes be found in structures. Dunlendings can be hired from Dunlending warlords as the cheapest unit from Dunland.
