	Encyclopedia of Arda: Easterlings
		A general name for the races of Men from the unknown East of Middle-earth, who were a constant foe of the Free Peoples, from the treachery of Ulfang in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad of the First Age to their frequent attacks against Gondor in the Third Age.
		This is the date when the emergence of the Easterlings into Beleriand was first recorded by those west of the Blue Mountains.
		The Easterlings must have had a history predating this by some time (indeed, we have a record of Morgoth having secretly treated with them before they crossed the Mountains) but we have no details of this prior existence.

		Climate is rated Cold since the Easterlings mostly orignated in the east from latitudes similar to Eriador.
		Aggression is rated as 3, since the Easterlings were constantly invading westwards, except for Khand and the 'other nations': these tended to stay at home unless stirred up by the likes of Sauron or Morgoth, in which case they appear as allied contingents to other lists anyway.

	The Defenders of Dale - Now accepting applications
		Growing up the soldiers son felt great hate toward the easterlings who were constantly trying to invade Dale, often at times we would dress out as a soldier, and fight in the wars against the Easterlings, though he was much too young.

		A force of Easterlings twice as large as the forces of Dale thrust themselves into the front line killing all but the soldier's son, and his brother who fought back screaming with vengence and hatred.

		Easterlings are the decendents of the men who make contact with the elves during the great western migration early in the second age.

		Should not be confused with the Easterlings who entered Beleriand in the First Age, and fought for both the Elves and Morgoth.
		Many of these Easterlings did not survive the cataclysms at the end of the First Age, but some of those who did might have settled in Eriador and become the Hillmen of Rhudaur.
		Five hundred years earlier, an Easterling people known as the Wainriders had also occupied Rhovanion, and their continuous incursions into Gondor were sapping the resources of the Dunedain.

		The Tolig Belen continued the recruitment and training of the Easterling population until in 2505, when their numbers were judged sufficient between the East Bight and the Talath Harroch to organize a fifth army, the Kelten Belen (Pu.
		These new Easterlings either remained some distance off or were careful not to show themselves, for the garrisons of the hill-forts learned little from within their own walls.

	The Last Alliance View Replies
		The part that talks about the Easterlings being raised from childhood to fight and going through rigorous training made me think of the Spartans - and in my opinion that would be a very good direction to take the Easterlings - provided that did not contradict what we know about them.
		A population that consisted of a minority of Easterlings in contrast to slave labor, having the men live in barracks, proving your manhood by taking on one of the strong slaves and killing him, etc. seems like it would be a plausible backstory for the Easterlings.
		These Easterlings may well have been racially similar to the later men of Bree, the Dunlendings, or the cursed men of the White Mountains and not the Easterlings of the Third Age.

		This card is probably the main reason that the Shrimp was endowed with 'limit text.' The original Easterling swarm never really endangered the ring-bearer because it tended to show up during the regroup phase, preventing any kind of double move.
		These new cards had to be something players could really sink their teeth into, as well as an overall 'patch' for the culture; they needed a new and effective strategy that not only worked in constructed, but also in limited formats.

		The Easterlings do not speak Sindarin, the language of sophisticated culture, nor Westron, the language of Dunadan imperial prestige.
		There may be Easterlings who know enough Westron to communicate in it, but they are Easterlings and it is Westron, the language of the West.
		Easterlings are so foreign, that it seems only two of their words were preserved in the histories: variag and khand.
