In briefanswer capsule

Dairuin serves among Barahir’s final companions on Dorthonion. When only twelve men are left, the group holds Beren, the nephews Baragund and Belegund, and nine loyal retainers of the household long kept in songs of the Noldor; Dairuin is named with them. They live as outlaws who cannot escape and will not submit. Their homes are gone; wives and children captive, dead, or fled. Driven hard, they range bare uplands above the woods, by lonely waters and rocky heath, far from Morgoth’s agents and magic.
