In briefanswer capsule

The Easterlings were swarthy Men from the East who entered Beleriand. After the Nirnaeth Arnoediad they held Hithlum, scorned the surviving folk of Hador, seized land and goods, and enslaved their children. They feared Morwen, Lady of Dor-lómin, for her beauty and bearing, and left her household untouched, murmuring that she was a dangerous witch leagued with the Elves. One of them, Brodda, had taken Aerin, a kinswoman of Húrin, as wife.
