A Daen Coentis Couple
Danan Lin and Daen Coentis Settlement in the Second Age
The Daen Coentis (Dn."Skilled People"; S."Orodhoth" "Mountain-horde") were an ancient people in the White Mountains of Gondor. They later became the Oathbreakers of Erech. They also were a central part of the large tribal confederation which made up the high-kingdom of Tarma-Pal, along with ancestors of the Donaen, Dônan, Sakalai, House Sulam and parts of the Altin Emungi. The Udul-folk were one of the tribes. Their Fourth King was known as the North King, who was well known for uniting a large part of Tarma-Pal under the Great King for the Battle of Ishmalog against the Fell Folk of the East on the east-marches.
The name "Dynion Celfydd" (Du."Men of Skill") prevailed among the Dunmen as late as the 17th century Third Age, and was used as a self-identification by the more conservative clans of Dunfearn (in distinction to the "Dynion Ingnaut").
