Easterlings in The Lord of the Rings books were a collection of diverse peoples from the east of Middle-earth, including those living near the Sea of Rhun, who were often allied with Sauron. There were two main armies noted during the 3rd Age. They are described as having swarthy skin, dark hair, & being formidable warriors who used chariots & war-wagons, cavalry, horse archers, axes, spears & swords in battle. While many were enemies of the Free Peoples, some groups had their own complex cultures & a few even resisted Sauron's influence

They were in league with the Dark Lord Morgoth in the First Age & later with his successor, Sauron & in the Third Age, Sauron encouraged many Easterling tribes to attack & raid the West-lands, especially Gondor. The Easterlings' primary strength was in their numbers, shock tactics & ability to win major field battles, though they often lacked the strategy to close out campaigns

 

Easterling society was diverse, with both nomadic & settled groups existing. Some were farmers, while others were hunters, herders or urban dwellers. Some Easterlings became powerful, such as the Easterling King Khamûl, who was gifted a Ring of Power & became one of the nine Nazgûl

​

Not all Easterlings were servants of the Dark Lords; some resisted Sauron's influence. This resistance was often due to the efforts of the Blue Wizards, who brought a message of hope to some Easterling groups. Some groups, like the houses of Borlac & the clan of Rendial, actively broke with or fled from Morgoth & Sauron
