Daen

The Daen were a group of mannish peoples in the second Age altough they were actually by language kinsmen of the Haladin and thus related to the Edain, they were counted as Arhunerim by many Loremasters, others however consider them Middle-men.Most of the original mortal inhabitants of Gondor were of Daen descent as were most of the Southerners or southern Eriadorians.Most prominent among the descendants of the Daen are the Dunlendings who still preserve many of the archaic rites of their ancestors.
