The Rhûn Easterlings are a collection of peoples who occupy a wide region encompassing part of Rhovanion and all the lands east and south of Rhûn. They include the diverse tribes of the Sagath, Logath, Asdriags, Nuriags, and the Balchoth. Loosely led by Hûz III, the Rhûn Easterlings represent a nation with great potential but numerous pitfalls to overcome. The greatest strength of the Rhûn Easterlings lies in their fierce and brave warriors, especially their much-feared cavalry, whilst competent commanders further enhance their prowess. Additionally, their skilled mages and adequate agents help make up for the lack of political envoys, and the abundant availability of resources provides the Rhûn Easterlings with a rich base for growth. The most difficult barrier to be overcome in the Rhûn Easterling's plans for conquest is the close proximity of the Northmen, who vie for power in the same lands.
