Wainriders

The Wainriders were a confederation of Easterling tribes who were united by their hate of Gondor, fueled by the dark lord Sauron. Following the Great Plague which weakened Gondor, they started their attacks in 1856 (T.A.), defeating the Gondorian army and killing king Narmacil II. They rode in great wagons and chariots (which gave them their name), and raided the lands of Rhovanion, destroying or enslaving its people. Gondor gradually lost all of its possessions east of Anduin to them. The thirtieth king of Gondor, Calimehtar son of Narmacil, defeated the Wainriders at the Field of Celebrant, buying some rest for his land. However the Wainriders struck back in 1944, allying themselves with the Haradrim of Near Harad and the Variags of Khand. They managed to kill king Ondoher and all his heirs, but instead of riding on to Minas Anor and taking the city, they paused to celebrate. Meanwhile, general Eärnil of Gondor's southern army had defeated the Haradrim and rode north to defend his king. He came too late to rescue Ondoher, but managed to totally defeat the Wainriders. Eärnil was crowned king. After this defeat the might of the Wainriders was broken, and they retreated east. They still held Rhovanion, but never troubled Gondor again. It later turned out that their attacks were staged by Sauron to allow him to reclaim Mordor while Gondor's watch was diverted. Narmacil II is a fictional character in J. R. R.

Balchoth

The Balchoth were a fierce race of Easterlings, who attacked Gondor while under orders of Dol Guldur.

Variags of Khand

The Variags (in the real world, this is another name for the Varangians) were from Khand, and they first appeared in the north-west of Middle-earth in 1944 of the Third Age, fighting alongside the Wainriders. They were also present during the battle of the Pelennor Fields, over a thousand years later. Little was known about them, but they appeared - at least by the time of the War of the Ring - as axe-wielding horse-men, fiercely loyal to Mordor. It is speculated that the Variags of Khand were also the first warriors on Middle Earth to ever harness chariots, during the First Age, but this could apply to any of the Easterling tribes. Games Workshop, however, interprets Variags as similar to Mongols, but with chariots and Sashimonos, in its popular Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game.
