The Men of the Misty Mountains (N."Ordvir" or "Mountain-Men" old Rh."Beiabarnae", "Nearby-born-ones") were possibly the ancestors of Beorn and parts of the later Beornings.By the 17th century of the third Age most of these Mountain-Men had been driven out of the Hithaeglir by Giants and Goblins and fled either to the Upper Anduin Vales or the Forodwaith.
