Pedantic pedantic: The Druedain are the Pukel Men, the Wild Men, or Woses. They are found in the White Mountains in LOTR, and there were probably remnants in Eryn Vorn. They are also mentioned in The Silmarillion.

They are very distantly related to the Dunedain, being associated with the 3rd house of the Edain, and Beor the Old.

I’m not sure which I find scarier: that you knew this, or that I did too. And yet, I forgot my dentist appointment. Or maybe that’s why I forgot it.
