The last remnants of the ancient realm of Numenor who came to Middle-earth after Numenor's destruction.
The Dunedain were descendants of Elrond's brother Elros, who chose to be counted amond Men, rather than Elves since he and Elrond are half man/half elf. Since Elros was half Elf, he lived three times longer than normal men, and died at the age of 500.
Since the Dunedain were descendants of he, they had the same long life. But after comming to Middle-Earth and mating with the humans already there, their long life diminished. However some still retained the gift of long life. Aragorn was 87 at the time of Lord of the Rings, and died at the age of 210.

Get the Dundaing mug.Small town between Palm Harbor and Clearwater that thinks highly of itself. Known mainly for it's small festivals and for selling alcohol later than anywhere else in Pinellas County. Usually, this leads to a large line at "The Dodge Store" (or as it is sometimes called, "The Drunken Chicken Shack") which is populated mostly by illegal Mexican immigrants and low income legal citizens of various ethnicities from the low income housing that litters the immediate area. The Rally station also sells beer late, but does not have the same clientèle due to geography. It also lacks the chicken. Also known for having bad water quality and high real estate pricing in nicer areas. It also has a small downtown area that has bars and overpriced shops.
