This lists covers the hillmen or Dunlendings living in the foothills of the southern Hithaeglir, or Misty Mountains; and in the Ered Nimrais, or White Mountains, further to their south; and also the wood-dwellers living both east and, in the second age, west of the Hithaeglir, from the time when the Numenoreans first established permanent outposts in Middle-Earth in their territories. While fierce, they were however not as well equipped as their enemies, Dunlending armour being only acquired by way of loot. A sub-general graded as Kn (F) may only be used if the C-in-C is also a Kn (F). Harad allies may not contain Mumakil, and may only be used by a Kn (F) C-in-C. Kn (I) must be mounted on a double-element base. Dunlending Cv may always dismount as Ax (S).
