The Druedain were a race of men who lived in the Drúadan Forest in the Third Age. They were afraid that the Dark Years were coming. Therefore, they led Theoden's army around the orcs on the road, allowing them to reach Minas Tirith. In return, King Elessar promised the forest to the Druedain forever, promising that no man would enter the forest without their leave. In the Edain Mod, the Druedain can be summoned by Rohan with their leader. They attack with poisoned arrows.
