Edain

Edain
 / Adan
   The Men of the Three Houses of the Elf-friends.
   -----
   The noblest of Men.
   The Sindarin form of the Quenya Atani, 'second people'.
   The name given by the Elves to the Three Houses of Men who first came to the lands west of the Blue Mountains and fought alongside them in the Wars of Beleriand. Whereas 'Edain' is strictly Elvish for all Men, it is normally only applied to those of the Three Houses who remained faithful to the Elves and were given the island of Elenna (Númenor) as a reward.
   The Three Houses of the Edain, in the order in which they came to Beleriand, were: The House of Bëor, The House of Haleth (the Haladin), The House of Hador (the descendants of Marach and his people).
