: In relation to the the "Dúndedain lived in the Angle" debate,
: could they have re-inhabited Ost-in-Edhil, which apparently was
: left in ruin's after the War of the Elves and Sauron ?: I know JRRT does not SPECIFICALLY say they do but it could it
: be a possiblity. Eregion is said to be uninhabited in "The Ring Goes South". Although the land is described as "wholesome", I rather gather it was associated with a sense of horror over what must have happened to most of its people in the Second Age, and no one would have wanted to live there for a long time. The Dunlendings simply feared the Elvish people, who apparently passed through Eregion occasionally. Their attitude toward the region was based on a different perspective.
