So I've been thinking on and off about this all day. I spent a while on the Rangers of Arnor, who endured the Fall of Arthedain at the hands of the frozen north, but they weren't ever really betrayed.
Someone who was, however, was Barahir's little band of resistance fighters. They outlasted the Fall of Dorthonion, and I'm sure they faced a grim winter in the aftermath. Ultimately, it was Gorlim's betrayal that brought their deaths - and, to go back to the first stanza, they were certainly enemies to most people who knew they existed at all!
