Easterlings
Oriental enemy tribes
Easterlings refers to people from eastern lands, used historically for various groups depending on the speaker's vantage point.
Medieval Europeans applied it to traders and migrants from the Baltic or eastern Germanic regions.
In Tolkien's Middle-earth, the Easterlings are peoples from the east who often ally with dark powers against the western kingdoms.
The term carries a sense of otherness—those from beyond familiar borders.
