Three were the House of the Edain that came from the West of Middle-Earth and the shores of the Great Sea. The first to set foot on Beleriand, and thus were called The First House of the Edain, were the Beorians. A confederation of clans that lived a nomadic life. Their chieftain, Balan, was later named Beor because of his devoted service to Finrod Felegund. Second came the Haladin. They were a loose-knit group of clans and had no real leaders. They were less attached to the other houses, and finally came to settle in the Forest of Brethil, near Doriath. Finally came the Third and mightiest House of the Edain, the Marachians. They were the most numerous tribe of the Edain, and the best organized. Following their leader Marach, they finally settled in the regions of Hithlum.
There was a great friendship between the people of Marach and those of Beor, and they lived there for many years, visited often by Fingolfin and other elven emmisaries. Marach lived in and around Estolad until his death. He had one son whom he named Malach.
In his House, none but the language of the Grey-Elves was spoken, but they did not forget thier own tounge.

Dor-lómin itself is scattered woodlands, while as you cross the Drengist River, the open plains of Hitlum are of short grasses. Dor-lomin experiences mild summers, great for frisbee and fetching sticks, while their winters are quite fierce: cold and unpleasant.
The people of Dor-lómin were gathered by Hador: those from the southern vales of Ered Wethrin and those strewn about Mithrim and Hithlum. Under his command, the Edain of the Third House became the mightiest. The men of Dor-lomin live in peace and have high relations with the Mithrim elves. In the presence of other men however, they may be pompous... but respectful. Distrusting people they don't know who are not elves or members of the Three Houses.
