ForthwiniA lord of the Northmen
Lords of the Éothéod and their predecessors Marhwini of the Northmen led his people away from the attacks of the Wainriders to settle in the Vales of Anduin. Forthwini was his son, and thus an early lord of the people who would become known as the Éothéod. In alliance with Calimhetar of Gondor, his father Marhwini had staged a counterattack on the Wainriders that had sapped their strength. Forty or more years later, Forthwini received intelligence that the old enemies of his people were preparing for war once again, and indeed his Northmen suffered raids in their southern lands, from both the Forest and the Great River. Forthwini sent warning to his old ally of Gondor, now ruled by Calimehtar's son Ondoher, and thus set in action the chain of events that would lead to the decisive Battle of the Camp. Notes
