Changes: Anthars

Revision as of 14:02, 18 November 2019

The five clans of the Anthars (Old Rh."The Others" or later Éo:"Ótheras") lived in the Westernmost part of the Wilderland plains, their summer pastures lying within a few days' ride of the South Undeeps.Their favorite village sites were scattered from the southern eaves of Mirkwood to the northern flanks of the Dread Hills (S."Emyn Muil").It was not unusual for them to camp within sight of the Brown Lands, so Anthars occasionally sparred with Orc groups traveling between Mordor and Dol Guldur.The territory of the Anthars, however, was split in half by the corridor of Gondorian civilization that followed the course of the Eastern Way.Consequently, many members of this tribe engaged in trade with areas to the west, or were hired as troops of mercenaries by the lords of Calenardhon and Ithilien.Kiusawulf (b.1592), Hauhthegna of the Anthars, became the wealthiest of the Horse-lords when he received the Andabauht (head-price ) for mercenaries killed in the campaigns of 1634.The Anthars, alone among the Aivathiudas, wore only moustaches — but they did not grow them until their prowess in battle was proved.Their fondness for lambskin coats trimmed with ferret fur was both legendary and lucrative, but it created problems after the Necromancer's shadow fell on their wooded trapping grounds.
