Ith, I wish you were here.....

Hope this is alright, but we really need to go ahead, as Bethberry says.

I have made the following assumptions about the baddies.

1. They are descendents of the Easterlings, a general term given to a number of different cultures/nations supporting Sauron in the War of the Ring.
2. They live in the region east of the Sea of Rhun.
3. Their culture and method of fighting bear a resemblance to that of the Wainriders, although the latter all perished at the end of the Third Age.
4. They are followers of dark cults, apparently involving the worship of Morgoth, similar to the story depicted in the fragment "The New Shadow" which appears in HoMe, XII.
5. They have something very interesting in the wagon which they have brought with them.

If anyone has additional ideas, suggestions, or such, please feel free to send me a pm or spell out suggestions on the discussion thread.
