The Complete History of the Easterlings | Tolkien Explained
24,774The Easterlings are among the fiercest enemies of Gondor in the Third Age, but how did this come to be? And were all Easterlings truly evil? We answer these questions and more by covering the complete history of the Easterlings. We track their migration to Beleriand in the First Age, their influence under Morgoth, and their battles with Gondor - and each other! We also look at the clues we have regarding the Blue Wizards, and how they may have been involved with the Easterlings!
