: The Men of Bor served Maedhros faithfully during the Nirnaeth
: but we never here about them again. Did they fall into
: darknesss? Did they eventually merge to become one with the
: Northmen? Or did were they the ancestors of the men of Bree
: (My belief)?The Folk of Bor were annihilated in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. If any women and children survived they were most likely absorbed into other Easterling tribes which Morgoth brought west. The Folk of Bree were descended from a northern branch of the people called in the Second Age the Gwathuirim, and were related to the Folk of Haleth. Other related peoples included the Dead Men of Dunharrow, the Dunlendings, and many Gondorians.
