[edit] Synopsis

The essay speaks about the Drúedain, little-appearing in The Lord of the Rings. It explores their history during the First Age being a part of the Second House of Men, and later their presence on Númenor and then their staying in Andrast.

It is mentioned about their being confused with Orcs and the Rohirrim hunting and killing them in their ignorance.

There is a mention of their peculiar "magic" abilities and customs, exemplified in the First Age story The Faithful Stone.
