(S.:'the second ones')
Men of Three Houses of the Elf-friens.In the 4th Century FA the Edain, drawn toward the Light of the West, entered Beleriand, where many of them entered the service of the Eldar and fought valiantly in the Wars of Beleriand. Some, however, remained in Estolad or fled south or east from the power of Morgoth, and pass from history until the Third Age. Despite their mighty heroes, the Edain were decimated by the hordes of Morgoth, but one of their number, Earendil of the House of Hador, sailed to Aman and obtained from the Valar the aid by which Morgoth was defeated in the Last Battle. The remnant of the Edain, increased in body and mind by Eonwe, then saild to Numenor and became known as the Dunedain(q.v.).
The Edain were tall and fair and strong; their spirits were noble, they were fierce in war, and they shunned all dealings with evil. In Beleriand the Edain lowed the Eldar, from whom they learnd much wisdom.and they were further ennobled by the two marriages of Elda and Adan: Beren and Luthien and Tuor and Idril.
