They are descendants of the Númenórean colonists who settled there throughout most of the Second Age and their noble kin who escaped the destruction of Númenór in SA 3319.
Description & Historical Accounts[]
Being mostly of Númenórean stock and ruled by exiled Númenórean overlords, the people continued most of the customs and traditions of Númenór. However, over the centuries, they mixed more and more with the men of Middle-earth. One of these peoples was the Northmen who lived in Rhovanion, and Gondor ever needing allies as well as friends began acquainting themselves with these men by the mid Third Age. Brave and valiant but by the standards of the Dúnedain shorter lived, the Northmen gradually had more and more to do with Gondor and one of its heirs to the throne Valacar, who lived and worked with them in their own land as an ambassador married one of their noble ladies setting the stages for the Kin-strife.
Over the next few hundred years afterward, war, rebellion, and plague severally weakened the blood of the Dúnedain in Gondor. The Men of Gondor are often described to have ruddy good looks. Their rulers though survived and retained some of the ancient customs. As the centuries rolled on into the late Third Age, the Men of Gondor accustomed to war and invasion became a hardy and stern people more likened to Middle-earth.
