Rukil: 19 years old, tall, long dark hair and brown eyes. An incredibly skilled and agile warrior. From northern Rhun, used to the colder weather of the steppes.

Layala: 19 years old, average height, slim build. Dark hair and dark eyes. Kind and compassionate, but a hot temper. From Morgothrone, the capital of Rhun.

Hadar: a Haradrim mercenary who has been hired by the armies of Rhun. Dark skin, dark curly hair, muscular build. Hadar grew up in the harsh deserts of his homeland, but began to travel afar as soon as he was able.

Lord Khanar: Ruler of the Dorsethi tribe. Known for his bravery and fearlessness in battle. Around 45 years old.

Red Fox: Identity Unknown

Prince Nadow of Harondar: Heir to the throne of Harondar, Nadow was no stranger to battle. In his youth he led the Knights of Harondar in countless forays against the other Haradrim tribes, as well as the Gondorians. He respected both opponents however, and held no animosity toward either. This wasn't true for Mordor. He hated the servants of Sauron with a passion, and it was for this reason that he founded the Death-Bringers. (Note: Harondar is not to be mistaken with Harondor, a region of Southern Gondor)

Preliator Ryuna: Leader of the Bleak Riders. Having only been in the West for a short time, his grasp of the Common Speech is weak at best. However, despite this he is a charismatic leader, and those rulers who have met him respect him greatly. His mask is symbolic of Hatred, and he wears it for reasons unknown.

Alatar the Blue(Morinehtar): When the five wizards arrived in Middle Earth, Alatar and Pallando traveled into the East. They were both given different names in the Eastern Lands. Morinehtar means "Darkness-Slayer", a fitting name for the more destructive of the two wizards. He used magic that the other wizards frowned upon, calling upon fire, water, and air to devastating effect against his enemies. Using such powers made him draw on his anger, and oftentimes the other Istari commented that this would be his downfall.

Pallando(Rómestámo): Just as Alatar destroyed, Pallando healed. The more timid of the two wizards was known to be able to cure almost any sickness, and to heal any wound. He could possibly even restore life to the dead, though such a venture would take a tremendous amount of magic that could cause unforeseen consequences. His healing was not limited just to people. He could heal animals and plants as well, though he lived in a forest that was all but dead for many years. Some say that Alatar made him keep the forest in such a state of disrepair, though it is more likely that he did so to appease the forest spirit that dwelt there.

Locations:

Morgothrone: the sprawling capital of Rhun, and a hub of trading and commerce. The Pit is also here, and brings fighters, trainers, and slave traders from around eastern Middle Earth to the city.

Runakesh: the only other major city in Rhun, it's in the far south and is known for its huge port. Its people are diverse, coming from Harad, Khand, and even the Orocarni Mountains. It is known for its rampant crime, though a peacekeeping corps called the Ram-Da-Ilyah are tasked with enforcing the law and do so with an iron fist.

Harondar: Once a city of Gondor, Harondar became a melting pot of Gondorian and Haradrim culture, melding into a unique group of people who valued the stone walls and architecture of the former but the caravaneering and cavalry-based combat of the latter. The Rassan line of lords became so entwined with the Haradrim that they eventually declared independence from Gondor, fighting a series of wars that many Haradrim tribes joined. Gondor, pressed by both the Easterlings and the Haradrim, soon withdrew from the land, allowing Harondar to establish strong ties with many of the local tribes as well as the inhabitants of Umbar.

Tribes:

Dorgeshi: a tribe from the far north of Rhun. They are the smallest of the Easterling tribes, and live an entirely nomadic lifestyle.

Morgoth's Khanate: this is by far the largest of the Easterling tribes, and has controlled the city of Morgothrone for centuries, making them unbelievably wealthy and influential. They were the among the first Men to worship Morgoth in days past, and their early allegiance to him granted them untold power over the other tribes.

Sarethi: a tribe from the far south that has merged cultures with the Haradrim. They are known for being able to control creatures of almost any sort, and prefer to travel nomadically as their Southron brethren do.

Runethi: this tribe is a seafaring tribe, and controls the port of Runakesh. They are renowned pirates and slave traders, making a fortune at the expense of human lives.

Dorsethi: this tribe is closely aligned to the Khanate, and provides the best equipped and most elite of its soldiers. They, unlike most tribes, have a council of elders consisting of men and women. These elders are chosen by mastering their given trade, be it war or weaving.

Easterling Soldiers and Other Races:

Lòke-Rim: These men and women are hand picked from The Pit, and are given the best weapons and armor.

Easterling Soldiers: these are the backbone of Rhun's army, and many of these are also veterans of The Pit.

Khan's guard: the best of the best. Only the most battle hardened of Easterlings can ever hope to achieve this position.

Easterling archers: every army needs archers, and the Easterlings have them in abundance. Usually pulled from the lower classes, these men are given basic combat training and no more.

Wainriders: These chariots are feared throughout Middle Earth, and rightly so. With scythes on the wheels and archers in the chariot, they can quickly cut through enemy infantry.

Easterling Kataphrakts: Heavily armed and armored, Kataphrakts are the Easterling's counter to Gondorian Knights.

The Order of the Moon: The Order is secretive. And is also the origin of the most deadly assassins in Middle Earth. While they sometimes hire out to contractors, most of the time the work for the Khan and his Lords. They have also been rumored to have been hired by Sauron himself on occasion.

Death-Bringers: The Death-Bringers were an elite order of Knights founded by Prince Nadow of Harondar at the twilight of the Third Age, with the purpose of avenging the destruction of their homeland. During the War of the Ring, they accompanied Prince Rukil of Rhun, who led them to many victories. After the war, they were employed by King Elessar of Gondor to hunt down the surviving orcs, trolls, and other filth of Mordor. Their ranks swelled in these years, as many wished to join their quest to destroy the dark creatures of Sauron. The Death-Bringers were greatly feared on the battlefield, and it was said that their eerie battlecry could freeze the hearts of their enemies.

The Bleak Riders: Some say they are a legend. The stories say they ride ceaselessly, only stopping to destroy and pillage. But while the Bleak Riders are in fact real, it is unknown whether the tales are true or not. One thing is for sure though: They are dangerous.

The Variags of Khand: Men of Khand, the Variags are an elite warrior caste who often hold positions of leadership. Most Khandish generals are Variags, though some come from the religious caste. The Variags gained power early on in Khand's founding, but other than that little is known about their history.
