nenuials:Forgotten Men Series - THE LOSSOTHOn the icy Cape of Forochel to the north of the Westlands there lived a people called the Lossoth in the Third Age of Sun. They were a reclusive, peaceful folk, wary of all the warlike Men of Middle-earth. In the common tongue of Men they were called the Snowmen of Forochel, and they were said to be descended from the Forodwaith of the Northern Waste.The Lossoth were poor people of little worldly knowledge, but they were wise in the ways of their cold lands. They built their homes from snow and, in sliding carts and skates of bone, they crossed the ice lands and hunted the thick-furred animals from which they fashioned their clothes. It is claimed that the Lossoth could foretell the weather by the smell of the wind.- Guide to Tolkien’s World: A Bestiary. -- source link
