	Lindëfirion: History of Khand
		Variag cities are large and orderly, mostly built of bricks.
		While all positions of power are held by the variag warrior caste, inferior and menial labour is largely on the shoulders of the subject peoples: haradrim, nûriads and nûrniags.
		It is strictly confined to variags themselves; ethnical minorities and slaves are forcibly excluded as heathens.

	Khand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth, Khand was the name of a land which lay to the south-east of Mordor and to the east of Near Harad.
		Khand was under the influence of Mordor and supplied it with horses, and twice came into the history of Gondor: first in the year 1944 of the Third Age when the Variags together with the Wainriders attacked Gondor, and later during the War of the Ring when they fought and died on the Pelennor Fields.
		While this is not directly said in the literature, it is probable that Khand gradually fell under the control of Gondor during the Fourth Age and was hostile to it no longer.

	Easterlings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However the Wainriders struck back in 1944, allying themselves with the Haradrim of Near Harad and the Variags of Khand.
		They managed to kill king Ondoher and all his heirs, but instead of riding on to Minas Anor and taking the city, they paused to celebrate.
		The Variags (in the real world, this is another name for the Varangians) were from Khand, and they first appeared in the West in 1944 of the Third Age, fighting alongside the Wainriders.

		Die Variags werden als menschenähnlich beschrieben, jedoch größer, stärker und plumper.
		Ob die Variags bewaffnet waren oder überhaupt Waffen brauchten ist nicht bekannt, vermutlich hatten sie nur primitive Keulen und Steine.
		Sicherlich überlebte kein beteiligter Variag die Belagerung von Minas Tirith, aber die in Khand zurückgebliebenen können dort noch lange Zeit existiert haben, nach wie vor unbehelligt von ihren Nachbarn und Feinden und immer noch Angst und Schrecken verbreitend in ihrer unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft.

		Uvatha was a talented boy, and showed unusual ferocity ; he began riding at a far younger age than most Variags, and killed a man in the months before his seventh birthday.
		The Variags were a brutal and savage culture, and were influenced by Sauron long before Uvatha.
		He was a tall Variag at 5'11'' but short when compared to some of the other Ulairi.

	TolkienWiki: Variags
		Men of the East who dwelt in Khand, a land to the south-east of Mordor.
		Variags, or Men of Khand, enter into the histories of Middle-earth at least twice, and (like most Easterlings) little else is known about them.
		They were first encountered by the Men of Gondor in 1944, where they fought alongside the Wainriders against Gondor's Northern Army.

		From the MERP Treasures of Middle Earth sourcebook: Usriev ("Bloodrunner") is a traditional Variag weapon which appears as a cross between a spear and a thin, razor-sharp, two-handed sword (and can be used in either capacity).
		It is carved from the greyish wood of the olive trees of Nurn.
		The bonus against elves is anti-Glamdring in concept, though I would have argued that the Variags would have greater antipathy towards the Dunedain than against the Firstborn.

		Sus gentes tenían fama de ser feroces guerreros, llamados variags, que junto con los haradrim y los Orientales llevaban largo tiempo bajo la influencia maligna de Sauron y a menudo acudían a su llamada para hacer la guerra contra Gondor.
		En el año 1944, los variags de Khand marcharon a la guerra junto con los haradrim, pero fueron derrotados en la Batalla del Cruce de Poros por las fuerzas de Gondor.
		Más de mil años después, en la Guerra del Anillo, los variags vuelven a aparecer, primero respondiendo a la llamada del rey brujo de Morgul en los Campos del Pelennor, y luego obedeciendo a Sauron en la Puerta Negra.

	The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - What is a Variag
		Maybe Variag is the name that the Men of Khand give to their soldiers.
		In the year 1944, with the Men of Near Harad, the Variags fought the army of Earnil of Gondor and were deafeated at Poros Crossing.
		I always assumed that the strange bearded men who appeared with axes during the Battle of the Pelennor were the Variags, and that since they were 'dwarf-like' they were vikings or mongolians, or huns, or something along those lines out of the east invading.

		Middle Earth Role Playing describes Variags as being fl skinned but I have been unable to find any references in any of Tolkien's writings to confirm this.
		I've read somewhere that they were fl skinned and red eyed, but I think that was a MERP description rather than a Tolkien one.
		That's the one with the histories of the nine nazgul before they got their rings, isn't it.

		This may be why the Variags were easier turned to fight with Sauron than with the Free People.
		And if you've got an influence monster in your company you can hit the Southron Oasis, the Variag Camp, and the Easterling Camp for 13 MPs in three turns and probably assuring that you will not have your item points being more than half...
		And the Variags may be a prime target for Minion companies in Lidless Eye.

		That said where also are the figure's for Variags of Khand and the huge Black men of Far Harad not to mention mounted Easterling cavalry, I can only assume that these must be future release's with new book's and rules.
		The Variags of Khand are the Easterlings, as are the men of Rhun (PJ grouped them together for simplicity).
		I would also like to see variags, half-trolls and extra people from the book, but I see no reason for figures for all the endless Rohan captains that fell on the Pelennor.

	Khand > Variags - Planet-Tolkien.com
		It is known that the race of Variags came from there, and that they were on the side of Sauron.
		I think the Variags tended to fight from horseback, and for some reason they always remind me of the Mongul Horde.
		During the Fourth Age Aragorn and Eomer campaigned several times together in "the lands beyond the Sea of Rhun and on the far fields of the South." It is quite possible some of these campaigns would have been against the Variags.

	Talk:Easterlings - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		The name Variags appears out of nothing in one of the drafts for LOTR, with no preceding forms or variants (a rarity with JRRT).
		Since Variags are described as a group of mercenaries who fought on horse-back, it is quite possible that Tolkien chose the name because it fit the image he wanted to recall for this people.
		Remember that we have to assume that all names in LOTR which are not Sindarin or Quenya are English translations of Westron terms.

I am sorry that I don't have the Atlas on me, but if anyone does, please, please check it up.
		By the way, there are definitely different dialects spoken as well.

		Pero ésta fue la última ocasión en la que lucharon contra Gondor, porque llegó el fin del poderío de Sauron y con ello terminó también la alianza entre Sauron y los variags, quienes permanecieron en su territorio durante muchos años en la Cuarta Edad.
