	Warmaster - Your thoughts on Dunlendings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Dunlendings are a clan-based society, with a strong sense of individualisme.
		Dunlendings dont realy have an organised military (with two noticable exceptions: - the clans that fight in the NE against the goblins and - the forces in Saruman pay to defend Isenguard), but are used to fighting in clan-based warbands.
		The Dunlendings managed to wage open war on the Rohirrim from Isengard from 2699 TA until their defeat after the siege of the Hornburg in 2759 TA.

	Battle of the Hornburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The forces of Saruman, Orcs and Uruk-hai together with human Dunlendings, arrived at the valley of Helm's Deep in the middle of the night.
		The Rohirrim required that all hostilities cease, and that the Dunlendings retreat behind the Isen river again.
		The slain Dunlendings were buried in a mound of their own apart from the Orc carcasses.

	Bambooweb: Dunland
		Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth: the land of the Dunlendings, the men who were part of Saruman's army of Isengard in his war on Rohan.
		The Dunlendings were so-called Middle Men like the Rohirrim, but since they spoke a different language (related to the Second House of Men, the Haladin, rather than the Bëorian/Marachian tongue which stood at the base of Adûnaic), they were not recognised as Middle Men by the Númenoreans of the Second Age.
		The Dunlendings fled to the Misty Mountains, the cape of Eryn Vorn, and the White Mountains.

	TolkienWiki: Dunlendings
		The Dunlendings were less "civilised" than the Dúnedain, and never organised themselves into a state or kingdom.
		Dunlendings -- or perhaps descendants of the Dúnedain -- who had occupied Isengard prior to Saruman's arrival, numbered among his most favoured and trusted servants.
		And Dunlendings always hated Orcs, even if they were forced at times to fight alongside them: the "squint-eyed Southerner" at Bree was a half-orc who had been evicted from Dunland.

		Another area that is not at all Dunlending is Lond Daer." You say, "In terms of pure theme Dunland is extremely isolated, inaccessible, and a highly xenophobic society.
		Generally, all Dunlending men and women are Craftsmen like smiths, masons, falconers, hunters etc while also being sworn as a 'Laoch' or warrior to a 'Fian' or noble.
		Dunlending people are dirt poor and the economy has very little coinage in it.

	Isengard & Orthanc
		The chieftains were Men of Gondor, but their subjects who dwelled in and around Isengard had become mixed with the Dunlendings who had begun to migrate from west of the Misty Mountains.
		The Dunlendings then began to raid the herds of horses in the Westfold, prompting King Deor of Rohan to lead a force to stop them.
		Dunlendings begin to settle around Isengard with the help of the chieftains of Isengard - who are no longer Men of Gondor but have mixed Dunlendish blood.

		The Fiefdom of Dunlendings is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape.
		Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.036 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

		In 2758 TA, Rohan was invaded by Dunlendings under Wulf, son of Freca, of mixed Dunland and Rohan blood.
		The borders of Rohan are: the river Isen (in the west, bordering Saruman's Isengard), the river Adorn (a tributary of Isen, also in the west, forming the border with the unfriendly Dunlendings).
		The White Mountains (in the south), the Mering Stream (in the southeast, the border between Rohan and Gondor), the Mouths of Entwash (in the east) and the Limlight (a tributary of the Anduin, the northern border).

	Dunland explained (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth: the land of the Dunlendings.
		Still, open war was not waged until the reign of Helm Hammerhand (2741 T.A. Freca, the lord of the hill-men (whom the Rohirrim now called Dunlendings) tried to get the throne of Rohan for himself by petitioning for the marriage of his son Wulf to the daughter of Helm.
		I don't know how many times she has whoever wrote it has done me a good turn, after all." Lockwood did not say it in a boastful way, but one could see that taken it seriously, too." He slapped his hip pocket.

		The dunlendings lacking a central power or a ruler where never really considered a thread or an ally by either the rulers of Gondor, the Dark Lord or whomever declared themselfes "owners" of the dunlending territory.
		That is the origin of the everlasting animosities between Rohan and the Dunlendings which cumulate in open war in steady periods.
		Despite this generosity, the dunlendings have become restless again in the wake of the fourth age.

	THE TOLKIEN FORUM - Did the Dunlendings get a raw deal from Gondor and the Rohirrim?
		The Dunlendings ceased to become subjects of Gondor with the death of Earnur, and the end of the line of Kings.
		The Dunlendings then began to drift into Calenardhon, as the Númenórean population began to move Eastwards to hold the fort’s on the River Anduin and the remaining Númenórean population became ostracized from Gondorian society and they began to merge with the Dunlendings and their population was often a mix of Númenórean and Dunlending blood.
		The Dunlendings, were residing in a part of Gondor that was effectively part of Gondor in name only, there was no significant Númenórean population, and the peoples had ceased to look to Minas Tirith as it’s capital.

	Battle of the Hornburg - Tolkien Gateway
		The battle pitted the forces of Saruman against the warriors of Rohan under King Théoden, who had taken refuge in the mountain fortress of Helm's Deep.
		Aragorn and Éomer had to repeatedly move the defenders, who were getting weary, to repel the Orcs coming up the ladders and crossing the wall.
		The Battle of the Hornburg is a key part of a movie based on the book, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

		To the Rohirrim, the Dunlendings are an inexorable tide - they sweep across the plains, destroying everything they come across, driving the villagers from their homes, growing stronger with every victory.
		Several of the Dunlendings celebrate their victories by becoming fierce, but let the Dunlending Madman or the Dunlending Robber win and they are not only fierce, but also stronger.
		Let the Dunlending Ransacker or Hillman Tribe win a skirmish while another Dunlending man is on the table and they allow you to take control of a site.

		In 2710, Deor led a force to the northern Westfold and defeated an army of Dunlendings.
		The Dunlendings were aided by the Corsairs, who had launched a massive assault against Gondor at the same time.
		Saruman had secretly made alliances with the Dunlendings and had built an army of Orcs, including a particularly strong kind known as the Uruk-hai which could withstand sunlight.

		Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young.
		The Dunlendings didn't really fall into that category--but then they didn't really count as allies of Sauron, either (insofar as they had been manipulated by Saruman)--so they became (once again) subjects of Gondor-Arnor.
		I guess in giving Calenardhon to the Rohhirim Cirion also ignored the existence of the Dunlendings-but they were not really evil, just misled and rightly angry.

		Dunlendings exist in tribal collections, each with their own customs and territories.

		The spring floods turned the vale of the Entwash into a fen, and the Eastern invaders died or retreated.

		Raiding, pillaging, burning the settlements of the Rohirrim or fighting alongside Uruk-Hai and half-orcs in the field, Dunlendings were a fundamental force in Saruman's strategy of total war against the Horse Lords.
		However, while Dunlendings are as effective in combat as any other unit, their will to fight on the side of their evil Master is not fail-safe, and they are quick to disgregate under the swords and arrows of the Riders of Rohan.
		A "historical" note: the Dunlending figure was originally supposed to appear in War of the Ring to represent Isengard Regulars, but was later discarded in favor of the Uruk-Hai figure.

	The One Ring: The White Council :: View topic - Too much "purism" from the film-makers - a bad thing? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The effort that went into the visual aspect of the Rohirrim was not mirrored in the Dunlendings at all, who appeared as utterly generic "barbarians", of the sort that might (dis)grace a cheap sword-and-sorcerery film from the murky depths of the 1970s.
		As for the Dunlendings I think it was an attempt to show Saruman manipulating people for his own ends, maybe to lend more credence to the voice of Saruman in ROTK but again Saruman is in need of more screen time.
		The point is stressed by there being Dunlendings because it adds credence to the theory that these are just more raids of the type they have faced before.

		As was later known, the Dunlendings, having been admitted as friends, had seized the Ring of Isengard, slaying the few survivors of its ancient guards who were not (as were most) willing to merge with the Dunlendish folk.
		Wulf, no pure Dunlending but a renegade of mostly Rohirric origin and in the west-march held in high esteem, had successfully negotiated with the Corsairs of Umbar who, stirred by Sauron, at the same time were raiding the coasts around the Bay of Belfalas and beyond.
		Thus, the Dunlendings kept Edoras and Isengard occupied until "reduced by the great famine after the Long Winter (2758-9) they were starved out and capitulated to Fréalaf." (FI) "Before the year [2759] was ended the Dunlendings were driven out, even from Isengard" (KR), which was passed on to Saruman's control.

	VN Boards - Suite101 article: The Quests of Middle-earth
		Still though, a short essay establishing Dunlendings weren't as bad or as evil as orcs, and their motives behind their wars with the Rohirrim would satisfy me to a great degree and it would give me "neener-neener" material for ages.
		You mention the fact that the motives of the Dunlendings were 'selfish', Michael; I wouldn't contest this, but so are the motives of every kingdom of Men.
		The upshot is, while the dunlendings, orcs, variags, and easterlings etc may not be evil, or corrupted, or what have you, it's likely that they consider the western peoples as evil and corrupted.

		The Dunlendings live in a rocky, hilly region near Isengard (well, Site 3 in the game).
		Alternatively, some of the Dunlendings get the ability to "pillage" when they win a skirmish - force the discard of possessions.
		Other Dunlendings, when they win, tap into their berserker heritage and become fierce.
