But that makes me wonder...what happened to children of the human Angmariansafter their fathers(/parents?) were destroyed by the Eotheod and Gondorians?

It will be quite logical that only men fought in the army of Angmar, the women most probably remained at home with children... for the Hillmen of Rhudaur, the few survivors probably returned home to the few settlements in the woods, or maybe (and that would probably go for those who lived in Carn Dum in particular) the survivors (men, women, children) migrated somewhere else - to the South, to Bree*, from Angmar it also isn't far to the Lossoth who could have accepted the women and children. Maybe some good-hearted Dúnedain could adopt children of the Hillmen who lost their parents?* But otherwise, many of the survivors - even if they were migrating - would probably also die in the wilderness. I think the tale itself will be quite sad.

*Wow... I just got a fantastic idea for a tale or an RPG. What if a child of some chieftain of the Angmarim was fostered and growing up in Rivendell, as it happened with some Dúnedain? The life-story could be definitely interesting...

Shouldn't this be in the Role Playing Game section?
