Cultural Information and History
Druedain by Ted Nasmith
The Druedain lived in the Druadan Forest in huts, tents, and in small tribes. They did not fight for any side, but they hated Sauron. In the First Age, the Druedain guarded the Forests of Beleriand. Towards the end of the Third Age, their Chief, Ghan-Buri-Ghan led the Rohirrim to The Battle of Pelnnor Fields through Druedain Forest. In exchange for his help, Ghan-Buri-Ghan made the Rohirrim promise never to hunt them as animals, as the Rohirrim did in ancient days. Before disapearing into the woods forever, Ghan-Buri-Ghan said "The wind is changing." This probably means there was still hope for the West.
