 The friendly races, on the side of the hobbits in "The Lord of the Rings", were the [Dun]edain, the men who fought on the side of the Elves in the First Age against Morgoth in Beleriand, from whom the Rangers, including Aragorn, were descended; the Rohirrim; and the men of Gondor.Sandra Ballif Straubhaar notes in the "J.R.R.Tolkien Encyclopedia" that Faramir, Steward of Gondor, makes an "arrogant" speech, of which he later "has cause to repent", classifying the types of Men as seen by the Men of Númenórean origin at the end of the Third Age; she notes, too, that his taxonomy is probably not to be taken at face value.
